That depends. If I want to read books I know that I'd rather have something with an eInk display (and I do have both a Kindle and an iPad). If I want to do something other than mainly reading I'd get an iPad. If I want to do both I'd recommend either buying both or deciding what you'd rather do.

Yes, if you're talking about a Nook Color but I was speaking of the B&W one.

I don't really see this competing with a tablet since this has an eInk display and tablets have back lit color displays. I think this vs Kindle vs Nook: now that is a sign of good things to come.

It looks like, from what I've read here (both in the official review and in the comments), that Office 365 is more complex and greatly benefits from installed plugins (like .Net) and desktop and server software (like MS Office and Sharepoint and Exchange) while Google Apps aims to do all of this for you.

I'll have to try this out. I'm pretty addicted to Calibre eBook Reader which converts and is kind of like iTunes for ebooks regardless of which eReader someone uses.

That's too bad because I think this is one of the most essential things that holds Google+ back: all of my connections that I already have in Facebook.

My wife and I only buy "bulk" items when they're on sale if it's stuff that we won't use more of because we have more. For example, we'll stock up if there's a deal on detergent or something but not on cereal or cookies. The reason is we know we'll eat more cereal or cookies just because we have more but detergent…

My main concern is that Microsoft moves from one trend to the next pretty quickly and it is not always certain if they will stick with something if it doesn't take off. Google has been known to do the same thing too but not with products that have been around as long or have developed as much as their core products. …

Good on ya! I've been making the push to get LibreOffice/OpenOffice used where I work but some of our underlying technology requires MS Office. Besides, it's not that expensive to get when we upgrade to new PCs.

I'm sorry you feel that way but not living on the bleeding edge is a pretty smart way to go for a company financially and as far as MS Office is concerned most compatibility issues can be resolved with a pack that allows older versions of office to communicate with the newer ones.

I have to disagree here: being a Mac user at home and know a few other Mac users I think that iPhoto is not half as good or easy to use as Picasa. And nearly all of my Mac using friends agree.

I think that it has been done from the beginning. I was going to use it but there have always ben show-stopping bugs when I go to use it and updates are delivered at a glacial pace. Besides, when it imports iTunes playlists it doesn't bring over the playlist grouping. So many essential little things that are ignored.

Looks like Fitter is no longer free. Bummer because I was interested in it...

I've never attempted this on a Mac before but does something special need to be done to make this bootable?

Aside from the two mentioned here are there really any other email apps for iOS? I thought that this one one piece of functionality that Apple wouldn't allow you to duplicate. I'd willingly pay for a good replacement.

And now it's back to $0.99. That sucks.

I keep trying to download Daily Deeds but I get a message that the item is being modified. Mysterious...
