With the summer winding down and school on everyone’s minds, we’re getting more and more questions on whether those tiny (and cheap) netbooks make for a good back-to-school purchase.

I had an opportunity to speak with Fox 8 News about the pros and cons of both netbooks and notebooks for students.

The most surprising thing for me when it comes to stats about social media is just how quickly it’s becoming popular with the traditionally non-tech orientated non-teen population.

There’s plenty of buzz going around now that price and release date info has been leaked for Microsoft’s new media player.

According to Gizmodo, the ZuneHD should hit in mid-September, with a 16GB unit for $220 and $280 for a 32GB version.

I have to admit that I never really had a problem with my original 30GB Zune, and the OLED screen on this new unit is very tempting.

However, already owning an iPhone, with it’s extra app functionality, has made me wonder about the viability of dedicated devices like media players.
