I bought a Kindle
I bought a 6" Kindle this evening. That is just $189. I think Amazon just dropped the price, I remember I saw that was $2XX few days ago.
Why do I buy that and even not consider to buy a iPad? Firstly, I am not an apple person. Secondly, $189 is a very attractive price, much cheaper than iPad. Besides, all I need is a eBook reader. Kindle can do the job. Moreover, it has an eInk, which is good for my eyes. The normal computer screens, including iPad screen, are so easy to make my eyes tired. Lastly, it got a free 3G connection! I can get books their wireless networks. Moreover, it has a beta web browser, therefore, I will have free wireless internet connection! That is very cool!

Google I/O 2010 - Android New Features
The 2nd day of keynote is about Android. Mainly, Google presented the newest version of Android, 2.2. They is a faster OS. Moreover, the Android market has some new features, such as "Update All". You can click "Update All" button to update all applications in your phone, rather than updating them one by one. But sadly, the payment processor for Android Market is still only available for developers in the limited locations to sell their apps.
Another part of 1st Day Keynote in Google I/O - Chrome Web Store
There is another part of 1st Day keynote. That is Chrome Web Store. The concept is fairly simple. An appstore for Chrome web browser. You can install or buy web app in through the store. Just one click you can install the application in a tab page in Chrome web browser. Even for paid apps, it can process within a click too.
Moreover, it supports the most of modren web technologies, such as Flash.
But I got a question, for paid apps, whether the developers can only use Google Checkout to be their payment processor. If that is the case, it has the problems in Android Market. Only developers from limited locations can sell their apps, becuase Google Checkout is only available in very very limited locations!
Lastly, the web store is only web applications only, it can't sell the desktop applications.
Sorry about that, my website is down for a day.
Sorry about that, my website is down for a day. That is because my web hosting moved my website to a new and more powerful server. But my website has some settings are not compatible with the new server. I should pick up this earlier, but I was unwell since wed. Sorry, I tested my website, it looks fine now.
