Telltale Games is finalizing its Back To The Future game and plans to bring it to your iPad. Ah, this brings back memories. I found a 25th Anniversary Trilogy. So tempting.
The ITU recently established that 4G technologies have a minimum of 100Mbps speeds while a client is in motion and up to 1Gbps speed while stationary.
Clear’s WiMAX has a maximum bandwidth of 50Mbps with real speeds of around 3-6Mbps. Verizon’s LTE: 5-12Mbps. T-Mobile’s HSPA+: 3-7Mbps. Clear, Verizon, and T-Mobile do not have 4G networks. They are technically lying to you and in the process poised to make a lot of money. How much? In Verizon’s case $50 per month for 5GB, and $10 for every 1GB after that.
Update: MG Siegler:
Danny Sullivan notes the difference between the iPhone 4S and the Galaxy S II Skyrocket on AT&T. Both are actually running on the same network, but the Galaxy gets the all-important “4G” moniker.

The Samsung UN40C7000′s rich display of 2D content makes me forgive its occasional hot spot hiccups that are still too prevalent in edge-lit LED displays. And its 3D performance is not the in-your-face experience that you might desire. [...]
If you want a great display stay away from LCD TVs that sport edge-lit LED backlights, instead look for full LED backlights and local dimming technology. They cost more but the TV-watching experience will be more enjoyable. Also, thin is over-rated, unless you plan to mount the TV on the wall. The UN40C7000 is going for US$1399.98 at Amazon, but consider a Panasonic plasma instead if you’re watching TV in dark rooms.
Amazon:
Thanks to you, in just the first 73 days of this holiday quarter, we’ve already sold millions of our all-new Kindles with the latest E Ink Pearl display. In fact, in the last 73 days, readers have purchased more Kindles than we sold during all of 2009. We’re grateful for and energized by the overwhelming customer response.
In the complex world we live in multi-purpose devices like the iPad will probably win: they help you tackle the millions of things you need to do everyday. But when the world gets too complex and pushes us to focus, a single-purpose device might be the better choice. If we just want to read, the Kindle helps us do that more than the iPad.
With the iPad it is difficult to read outside; the iPad is more of an indoor thing. And even if you’re inside the glossy cover glass has a lot of reflections making it difficult to concentrate on reading. The best environment for reading on the iPad is where you have a lot of diffused light (e.g. windows with translucent curtains).
The Kindle doesn’t have any of these problems, but you won’t be able to read at night with the lights off. I guess you can’t have everything. (Actually, you can almost have everything with a Pixel Qi display.)
Looking at Kindle sales a lot of folks seem to want to just read. But, if you want to read just one book, it might be better to get a real book and walk on over to your favorite café.
[LG will] be bringing the planet’s largest LED-backlit 3D LCD HDTV to CES 2011 next week, with the LZ9700 handling both 2D and 3D content and offering TruMotion 400Hz [...]
Who cares about 3D? I don’t. But actually, my sister mentioned how fantastic it was to watch How to Train Your Dragon on a 3D TV with active-shutter glasses. I must say I did enjoy watching Avatar in the theaters in 3D, but I also enjoyed watching Avatar in 2D just as much. If you are a 3D fan, and there are only a few of you out there, and if you have the space and the financial wherewithal to purchase the largest 72-inch LED-backlit 3D LCD TV in the world, then maybe the LG LZ9700 is something to look forward to.
Two things: what is with that brownish neck? And Dvorak says 3D is bad for your kid’s optical nerves.
