Tracey A Edwards asked:
We are all know that the latest gadget that Amazon has recently released is it’s new Kindle. A wireless electronic reader that allows you to read eBooks, blogs and news online. But there are so much more that the Kindle can do so I’ve created a quick list of the Top 5 fun things to do with your Kindle.
1. Take it to a Trivia Night. With instant wireless access to Wikipedia, you’ll be able to get every answer correct! No more racking your brain trying to figure out the answer, you’ll always have it at your fingertips.
2. Have battery life races with your friends. With the long battery life you’ll be able to leave it switched on for days without recharging. See if your Kindle can outlast your friends. Or which one will recharge the fastest? The Kindle fully recharges in around two hours, so time it and see for yourself. Create a chart and time your personal best charging times.
3. Brag to your friends about reading the latest New York Times Bestseller before they do! You can download the latest bestsellers straight onto your reader in minutes. No more lining up at the bookstore overnight waiting for classics like Harry Potter to be released ever again. Just one quick download and you can be reading it before your friends even reach the cash register.
4. Bookmark your favorite part in the book for quick return later. Want to remember that awesome quote so that you can try and impress your date tonight? That’s easily fixed! The bookmarking feature means that you can add notes in the margin of the book and find it again super fast.
5. Playing Scrabble with your Dad again? Then use the built-in New Oxford American dictionary so you can seamlessly look up the meanings of a word to prove they exist. Never lose another game again.

Pre Order iPad – Should You Do it and Where?
Reshma Rangaswamy asked:
Apple unveiled their much awaited tablet called the iPad that will be available in March. The question on everyone’s mind is to preorder the iPad or not to Preorder the iPad. For all the hype and buzz that it has created, we really should delve into what the iPad has to offer that our current breed of mini computers don’t.
What is all the fuss about?
According to Apple, the iPad is a touch-screen tablet that’s created to fill the void between the iPhone and the MacBook. With a 9.7-inch screen, it looks like a large iPod Touch with an accelerometer that allows it to switch from landscape and portrait modes. Early rumors suggested that the screen would be OLED but the final unit comes with LCD. It has In-Plane Switching or IPS to improve on the color reproduction and viewing angle.
A portable device isn’t complete if it can’t connect to the internet. The iPad comes with 82.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for interconnectivity. There are models equipped with 3G data as well. The Wi-Fi only versions will be available starting March while the units with 3G will be available in April. But you will be able to preorder your iPad much before that. More on that later…
The Apple iPad comes with built-in apps, such as the Safari Browser, email client, a music player, iTunes Store, maps, Youtube client, address book, calendar, and a QWERTY keyboard that would take up half the screen when used. It has a photo viewer with map view to see geo-tagged pictures with a slideshow mode.
iPad Apps
iPhone users are happy to find out that their favorite apps can also run on the iPad with any modifications. The apps will run in a small box in the middle of the touch screen or it can be maximized by clicking on the 2x icon. Existing apps for the iPod Touch or iPhone can by synced to the iPad for free.
There will also be exclusive iPad apps being developed. At present a few already exist, such as the New York Times newspaper reader, a painting app, demo version of Need for Speed game for the iPad, and an MLB.com app for baseball fanatics.
People are saying that the iPad is Apple’s answer to the Kindle and this might be true because Apple launched its e-book app called iBooks, which supports the ePub format. The iBook store features titles from Penguin, Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins, and Macmillan and Hachette.
There’s a new iWork suite made for the iPad but instead of buying the whole thing, you can purchase individual iWork app individually for $9.99 each. Keynote lets the user create and view presentations. The tablet can be connected to a projector for group presentations. With Pages, the user can create and edit text documents. Lastly, Numbers is an app where the user can edit and create spreadsheets.
Should you Preorder the iPad?
As is the case, so very often, should you preorder the iPad? You may not be able to preorder it just yet, but when the time comes, I would say Yes! You usually get the best one-time offers during your preorder and how cool would it be to get your hands on the first copies of the iPad. But you would heed to do some research before you pre order the iPad. With every retailer on the planet getting ready to sell it, there are bound to be scams galore. Just make sure you find the best deal in the market before you invest in these bad boys.
