i'm getting bored of my apps and would like to get some new ones.

Answer
I like Ambiance because you can download and mix sounds and sleep. or have in the background. There's many more apps like this - search for "ambient sounds."

"Awesome Facts" is full of interesting facts and useless information. They upgrade constantly - and are in the many thousands now.

I have my credit card and bank apps on here for quick access.

I transfer my pdf's to the iPhone using ChiliPrinter - there are others, I'm sure.

I put the "Crazy Candle" on at night and it plays iTunes in the background.

The "Elite Browser" is great for looking at web pages in full screen.

Google Earth is a must.

I use iNapkin for notes.

IndieBound to buy books.

Flash my Brain for flash cards.

Individual newspaper apps for reading around the world.

Phanfare's Photon immediately transfers my photos to a web site.

Shazam identifies music by holding your iPhone up to a speaker or in a car, etc.

Sound Pro is a lot of fun and can be remotely controlled from another computer or iPhone.

Stanza for free ebooks.

Wallpaper Labeler to put your email or whatever on your home-screen if you lose your iPhone.

Memengo Wallet for your passwords & confidential info.

For recipes, do searches for the type or nationality of food you are interested in.

Yahoo Messenger.

Good Luck.

Which is a better reading device the kindle or the nook?

Lindsay Ba

Im looking to get a digital reading device and am wondering about the differences between the two. Is the book only for barnes and noble? Which is the better purchase? Are there other features then just reading?

Answer
Hi, Lindsay Baer, Nook from Barnes & Noble is the best combination of price and features of the eReaders market. When choosing an eReader, you need to consider not only the physical properties of the device, but also compare eBook stores behind it. Sony has never been a contender for any comparison by anyone as they only have like 5 books in their Ebook store and their devices are way overpriced for what they offer. Borders is behind Kobo/Cruz devices in US and as you might of heard, Borders is on a brink of bankruptcy. Kindle and Nook are the only devices to be considered as their eBook stores have over a million of free public ebooks as well as over a million of ebooks that you need to pay for available.
Having that out of the way, you should then decide which screen you want: e-Ink or LCD. It depends on what you're reading. If just black & white novels then the better one would be Kindle or e-Ink Nook from Barnes & Noble. If you read electronic magazines or college text books with a lot of color graphs and charts or childrenâs' books with a lot of pictures then the better would be Nook Color LCD from Barnes & Noble. Then, you should understand the limitations of e-Ink eReaders - they are limited to be black & white for now they "blink" at each ebookâs page turn, they're not too good for web browsing, they need external light source for reading when dark, and they cannot handle videos.
Whichever device you choose, here's the advantages of the Nookâs (both e-Ink black & white and Nook Color) over Kindle:
- Any Barnes & Noble store provides free Wi-Fi to Nook's
- Nook allows to lend Nook books for two weeks to friends and family or share with your other devices that run B&N app (PC, MAC, Android phones, Apple iPhone, iPod and iPad, etc.) Barnes & Noble allows (when you walk in with the Nook to B&N store) to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. With Nook, while in BN store you get exclusive articles from top authors, and great offers including cafe treats and unique deals.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for library ebooks.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for renting text-ebooks.
Nook Color is worth mentioning separately as this is a hybrid Android eReader/tablet device, something between Kindle and iPad. Even though Nook Color has LCD touchscreen, it's a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight and produces less glare all of which are dooming reading on iPad. Also, the screen is amazing and readable/viewable at wide angles.
Overall, Nook Color is more than e-Reader as you can also watch video and use Android applications on it. It's a hybrid device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn't have a camera. If all you want is to read novels, the original e-Ink Nook might be better for you. If you want something more from your device (color graphs and charts of college text books, childrens books, photos and videos, web sites in full color) at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet.
Nook Color has several apps that already come with the device (Pandora Internet radio, QuickOffice, etc.) Also, Barnes & Noble recently released Nook SDK and Nook Developer platform that will allow most of the existing 100,000 Android apps be ported to it. Also, you can use the Social Settings screen to link your NOOK Color to your Facebook account and your Twitter account. You can also import all your contacts from your Google Gmail account. Once you have linked to Facebook and Twitter and set up email contacts, you can lend and borrow books, recommend books, and share favorite quotes with your friends.
