Find wireless hot spots before you travel with Wi-Fi Finder

Tablets have enabled business users to get serious about being mobile. They are ultraportable, user-friendly, and get more feature-rich and powerful with each iteration. Many tablets (such as the Verizon-branded Samsung Galaxy Tab) are happily using 4G networking, which is -- compared with other mobile networks -- quite speedy. Of course, there are times when you either have no 4G signal or the 4G speed simply isn't fast enough. Fortunately, you can more

Change the font size of a Web page on iOS

Change the font size of a Web page on iOS

Sometimes the font on a Web page needs to be bigger or smaller, a feature that's built into most desktop browsers. But, when it comes to iOS and Mobile Safari, the ability to adjust font size is missing.

Well, thanks to Marcos Kirsch, you're two bookmarks away from being able to adjust font size of a Web page on your iPhone or iPad. Here's what you need to do.

  1. If you're using your iOS device to add the bookmarks, start by creating two random bookmarks (they can be identical).
  2. Open the bookmarks menu, tap on Edit,

Create ringtones in Windows

Create ringtones in Windows

Custom ringtones are yet another way of personalizing your mobile device. With a wide selection, you can set a different alert for each person that contacts you. Another reason to change ringtones is if you're not a fan of any that came with your device (or you're tired of them) and just want to hear something different.

Fried Cookie's Ringtone Maker is a free and awesome application that will allow you to make ringtones for any of today's popular phone brands. Whether you're sporting an Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, or Windows Phone device, this program will

How to stream podcasts to your iPhone, iPod, or iPad

How to stream podcasts to your iPhone, iPod, or iPad

Podcasts are awesome-sauce. When I'm in the car or out for a run, there's nothing I like better than an episode of "This American Life," "Wiretap," or the amazing new radio-drama "The Truth."

Seriously, what's not to like? iTunes is home to zillions of podcasts -- there's literally something for everyone -- and they're all free.

There is, of course, one downside: podcasts consume space. Not a ton (the average episode of "This American Life" is about 27MB, the equivalent of three or four MP3 song files), but if your iPhone is already brimming with more

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch is running iOS 5 or higher, you can now receive software updates over the air. What this means, to you, is that you'll no longer have to tether to a computer to download and install the update. Instead, you'll be alerted on your device of an available update. You can then can download and install it while on the go. Here's how it works.

How to give an e-book as a gift

How to give an e-book as a gift

There's something wonderful about gifting someone with a book you read and loved, knowing they'll dive in to the same world you explored through text on a page.

These days, you're likely to find that friends are instead reading their books on an e-reader like the Nook, Kindle, or iPad, a transition that seemingly makes book-gifting a challenge. After all, you can't put a bow on an intangible file.

Gifting someone with an e-book is a lot easier than it seems, but will vary depending on which e-reading device he or she owns. Once you find more

Side-by-side Web surfing on the iPad with Dual Browser

Side-by-side Web surfing on the iPad with Dual Browser

Web surfing on the iPad got a lot better when Safari added tabs. If multiple windows is what you're after, however, give Dual Browser a spin. This free iPad app lets you view two browser windows side by side.

When you first launch Dual Browser, it opens two windows, one on top of the other. You can switch it so that the windows open along side each other, which I'll get to shortly. Each window has a small URL bar at the top with forward and back buttons and buttons for accessing bookmarks and settings. There is also more

100 Cameras in 1 HD: funky photo editing on the iPad

100 Cameras in 1 HD: funky photo editing on the iPad

If you are among the multitudes who enjoy Instagram and its photo-filter ilk, you'll have fun experimenting with 100 Cameras in 1 HD, a funky iPad camera app that provides 100 photo filters and sliders to adjust their effects.

The app starts you off by giving you five sample photos to work with, but you can grab any photo from your Camera Roll, Photo Stream, or your iPhoto library. You can also snap a photo using the app (if you have an iPad 2 or later), but the viewfinder is a small window instead of the entire iPad display. more

Setting up an Asus Transformer Pad TF300

Setting up an Asus Transformer Pad TF300

It is my sincere hope that this post makes up for some of the benign deceit I've been involved with for the past few years here at CNET. Typically when a new product rolls in the door, we're quick to show you an unboxing, and we'll follow that up with a formal First Look video, but we tend to gloss over the nuts and bolts of setting things up.

Arguably, we've been sparing you the boring, unsexy business of setting up your tech. But I suspect that you're at least a little curious to see more
