Michael Gartenberg: Looking beneath the Surface
The physical keyboard and inclusion of Office are differentiators that make a straight-up comparison with iPads and Android tablets impossible.

Opinion: Where does Apple go from here?
Hear the one about two guys who started a computer company in their garage? Of course you have: Today, one such company is estimated to be the most valuable one in the world (or pretty close to it, depending on the fluctuations of the stock market). And there’s a good reason for that, as I discovered recently on an Acela from New York to Boston: If you were an alien who just landed on our planet and somehow hopped on that train, you’d assume that all humans constantly consult some sort of oracle emblazoned with a fruit logo.

Five things I really like and dislike about Android
A lot has been written about Android since its introduction by <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9136345/Google_Update">Google,</a> both good and bad. It's been praised as an open model that led to the creation of the <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9045560/Update_Google_touts_Android_its_new_open_mobile_platform">Open Handset Alliance</a>.

Some were anticipating a new hardware design (some case vendors went as far as to order cases made on rumored design changes), others a larger screen.
