An interesting conversation between a Kindle and an iPad

http://gadgetophilia.com/apple-ipad-and-amazon-kindle-a-conversation/

My opinion is that the the Kindle will continue to be a nice eBook reader. Its advantage is beautifully

rendered black and white pages (not kidding), extraordinary battery life, and looks nice in broad

daylight.

The iPad is so much more than an eBook reader, it shouldn't even be compared to the Kindle.

It has the potential to change the way we work; finally a device that makes it easy (and fun) to

capture data in the field! Developers, get your data entry web apps ready!

Time Lapse Photography

The digital camera has helped produce more artists than any other time in history, and time lapse photography is growing as a result.  Check out Ross Ching - probably one of the Internet's best time lapse photographers.

Google Android - What to Expect

Here's a nice article on what we can expect from the Google Android phone set to be anounced on 9/23/2008.

Probably the most important Google Android play is the synchronization of calendar, contacts and email without requiring USB cables or third-party apps to get the job done.  I'm assuming that Android data will be hosted by Google, which of course will one day create a Microsoftish monopoly for Google.  

Google Chrome Download

Google Chrome can be downloaded here.

Google Chrome

Chrome is a new, open-source web browser from Google.

Google explains what differentiates Chrome from other browsers in a comic book here. This is a great idea that explains complex things in a simple way - and can only help Chrome gain traction.

Some of the highlights:

• tabs are individual browser processes that are sandboxed from each other
• sandboxes have no write capabilities to the local machine (although plug-ins might)
  
• includes its own highly optimized javascript virtual machine (V8)
• includes anti-malware/anti-phishing
  

Hopefully the download link will be posted soon.
