I just bought this one: [link]
And have been very happy with it's speed. There are five or six devices on it at any given time, and it hasn't suffered in speed or use.

I got this one recently: [link]
It was cheaper when I bought it, but it has worked better with my Tivo than any router I've had previously.

Hey. New board.
ita, you mentioned you were running through a Lifehacker list for best Android apps. Could you give me a link to that? I have a hard time finding anything using their search feature.
I have started using Swype again, mostly because I installed a new custom ROM (running MIUI - very, very pretty - and with a custom kernel that appears to have approximately doubled my battery life) and lost the HTC keyboard so I was trying a variety of replacements. I am doing better with it now, though I still have to correct a bit more than I'd like, but I'll try it for a few more days and see how I fare.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Here it is, Gris.
I have just about everything on that list that works for Honeycomb. Some of them (like mint) I just don't want to run on my phone when I could be running it on my tablet. Which is non-productive and petty, but there you have it.
I would also add Grocery IQ for shopping list management. I just noticed they have a tablet version...time to install!
Oh, and I mostly do my app searching on market.android.com, because that way I can find out explicitly if it exists, even if it isn't compatible with either of my devices. And then I can push the install from there to either device even if I browsed there from my laptop or desktop. It's cool as hell.

Some buffistas recced Jaguar for low end web hosting. Unfortunately, there are several hosting services called Jaguar. Which is the one ita ! uses for low end stuff.

I use google to search lifehacker. I would put in the google box: site:lifehacker.com best android apps
that might get you what you need in the future.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
So, I'm thinking about buying an iPad. I need something that will travel, so I was originally thinking a netbook, but it occurred to me that the iPad would be a great way to keep (and annotate) reference books that I might need in my new job. But, maybe another tablet or computer?
Thoughts?
