Its creator, German software publisher SoftMaker, is nearing completion of the latest release, SoftMaker Office 2010 for Linux. This new release offers document tabs, high-quality filters for the Microsoft Office 2007 file formats DOCX and XLSX, and presentation-quality charts in the spreadsheet. It also brings integration into KDE and Gnome, using the system's colors and fonts. A release candidate is available as a free download."

I agree. I looked at PRS-505 and the clarity was amazing. Very easy on eyes. You will be able to read hours together without any stress on your eyes. However, I decided to go for PRS-600 thinking that the dictionary and the touch screen (for taking notes) will be great additions. I admit that, it was a bad decision. PRS-600 has too much glare because of its touch screen. You will hardly use the note or highlighter as its too slow. So, its a plain reading device. I should also mention that calibre is a great app to manage e-readers

I carry 5-10 movies and music worth for over 10 days in my Nokia N96 when ever I travel (16GB in built + 16GB microSD). I've been using Nokia for over 10years now. Given a choice, I don't recommend Nokia to anyone. (and my friends tell me that most of the brands are same). Nokia's higher end phones fail miserably when it comes to quality and reliability. My phone crashes or reboots every other day. I've been playing around with my Wife's blackberry Bold for a while. I must say that my next phone will be Blackberry. I use everything (mail, IM (personal and company), GPS applications, movies/music, browsing ) that I do on my N96 and I didn't have to reboot the phone for over two weeks. It just works and responds quickly.

Apple just admitted that it was them and not AT&T.

So much for all that crap you just wrote.

This is the craziest thing I ever heard. Here is a line from the letter apple sent to FCC. "In addition, the iPhone userâ(TM)s entire Contacts database is transferred to Googleâ(TM)s servers, and we have yet to obtain any assurances from Google that this data will only be used in appropriate ways."

Does it mean that Apple own my contacts? Why would they care where I keep my contacts, voice mail, and other personal details. After all, its my data.
