There are a few you can use. Friendly is the most commonly used one. Friended is another.

While I like Friendly's interface and features, I always end up just going back to using my browser (Atomic).
That guy that used to mod cases. Now I take photos. True story.

I'm still not convinced that MacOS X is better than Windows. iOS is very nice though.

So I answered my first phone call on my iPhone this morning. Evidently I had the earpiece set to maximum volume. My ear is still ringing. :lol:

It's not the iPad, but Research In Motion will not concede that its PlayBook tablet has been a major league flop like many of its tablet brethren.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that it was even more of a flop than its tablet brethren. :lol:

9780 is the way to go as far as those BB things go, from what I've heard anyway. ;)

I have just heard that the torch is not making people as happy as they thought they would be - but as I said - I haven't used one.

The Torch 2 has been in the works for quite some time because as a flagship device the Torch is rather disappointing.

For a long time it has been the Kindle for me... but after playing with Kitten's Ipod touch, and then, with the iPads and the iMacs i have decided that it will be the iPad for me... Now it will just depends on how much of my bonus (after this holiday) will be over to decide what exactly I'm getting. So Rattie,... I'm going to be hitched to your breast bone for the next month of so :)
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

I think you will love the iPad jee. My wife wants one, and to be honest, for the way she uses things it would be perfect for her.

Apple announced speech recognition for the next iPhone. Big deal. Android’s had it for more than a year. Apple is just playing “catch-up” and the feature’s not really earth-shattering anyway. Right?

Wrong. Everything in that opening paragraph is wrong, except the sentence that reads “big deal.” Siri is a very big deal, the biggest of deals.

In fact, Siri is the most important thing to happen to mobile in this decade so far.

Edit: I give up. Can't see what I'm doing wrong with the "read more" link.
