what's the PDF reader that everyone loves?
I am a firm believer in my Nook.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
FCC says again that the ATT purchase of T-Mobile is anticompetitive. There's still hope...

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I hope so. I just sunk beaucoup bucks into a new android handset. I finally tossed the BlackBerry. Just couldn't deal anymore.

Man, a way too gleeful co-worker just announced that the G2 won't be getting Ice Cream Sandwich. I had been monitoring announcement lists, but I hadn't seen that.
I don't want a new phone! I want Ice Cream Sandwich!
I'm so wounded.

Vortex,
do you have an ipad?
I use 2 apps to manipulate PDFs. I like ibooks for reading PDFs, but goodreader works well. I like IAnnotate for marking up PDFs.

le nubian, do you find that you have problems getting onto websites with your iPad? That's my only sticking point about maybe getting one of those after Christmas.

Kathy, I love my iPad. I've had no trouble loading websites at all. Even the Flash issue won't be around for much longer, since Adobe is no longer developing it for mobile devices.
Why do you feel that it's an issue?

My sister has an iPad1 and the flash issue drives her bonkers when she surfs the web. I'll just tell her that she's obviously going to the wrong websites!

What Maria said.
The built-in safari is great for most websites, but I do use Diigo Browser to save some websites to read later offline (I have a wifi only ipad).
BTW, here is a new kickstarter project where you can use an external drive, connect it to this wifi unit and then you can access the files on the external drive with an ipad or other device capable of connecting to a wifi network.
I haven't decided whether I will get it or not, since I'm happy with my Airstash, but maybe?

It's not that she's going to the wrong websites, it's that Flash for mobile is going to disappear eventually.
Have I noticed that Flash isn't working on certain websites? Yes. Does it drive me nuts? No. 98% of what I do and the sites I surf on the iPad don't involve Flash.
