Acer Iconia W7 Windows 8 Tablet PC Review and Giveaway

Slimline, sleek, sexy and silver - but you can’t have everything. The Acer Iconia W7 is a Windows 8 tablet priced between $799 and $999 (depending on the chosen model) that looks as though it should be running Windows 8 RT, but is equipped with a Core i3 CPU, 4 GB RAM and a 64 GB SSD, thereby trouncing the majority of similarly-sized devices in the spec stakes. Realistically, this isn’t a perfect computer. It has some faults, some in the design, others in the execution. But it remains a fascinating piece of equipment, as I’m about to explain. We're also giving a brand new one, so if you're looking for sub-$1000 Windows 8 tablet PC, be sure to join the giveaway!

Magzter - A Great Way To Read Magazines On Your Tablet [iPad]

One of the cool things that you can do on an iPad is read magazines. When the slate was first announced, it was touted as one of the main selling points, but it's a feature that seems to have flown under the radar for the most part. Sure, Apple launched Newsstand, but most articles written on it are simply directions for tricking iOS into hiding it in a folder. Of course, it doesn't have to be this way, as there are some fantastic apps for magazine lovers.
