Hrmmm, that ought to make backups a cinch!

Everybody is really arguing over nothing. Crescent wrenches are great for certain tasks, but you can strip an over torqued nut. At that point, you grab the one thing and does it well - exact size wrench. iPad == crescent wrench Kindle == exact s…

I would agree with the comments that it won't take (at least quickly) in the business realm. In business you need interoperability. VGA outputs on the device you are presenting from, the ability to quickly insert a thumb drive with the presentation …

I could go both ways. I don't think the Kindle will die, but it will fade. As a reader, it excels, 7 days of battery life and it is much easier to read for extended periods. However, the allure of a multi-function device will definitely rob it of it…

I don't buy the mood sensing portion but could see them dabbling in the power monitoring/metering, etc. We've seen a lot of companies that aren't specific to home automation entering that market in the last two years. There are already a number of s…

Now that I think about it, I don't have an issue with the internal battery. My real issue is the time it takes to get the battery replaced. I can live without throwing in an extra battery. It would be nice, but not necessary if they had a Apple stor…

Good points, but a replaceable battery means when battery died on 12/22/09, I would have had a usable phone 12/22/09. I am still waiting for my phone. That is a big difference, regardless of swapping batteries, which I happily did two years ago... E…
