iTunes is no longer the biggest app store
August 27th, 2011 · 5 Comments · app store news
This actually happened a couple weeks ago, but I can’t see that anyone covered it but me. According to a couple tracking sites, the Android Market now has more apps than iTunes. The margin is not very wide, but it’s real. The Android Market now has just over 480 thousand apps listed, and iTunes has [...]

So another Amazon Tablet rumor popped up yesterday, this time in the New York Post.There’s really not much that’s new, but there’s always page views to be found in digging up the old nonsense and giving it a new polish. The rumors this time around are that: Priced a lot less than the iPad Due [...]

The Dutch web retailer and ebookstore bol.com accidentally leaked the product page for the next Sony Reader, and that means the FCC filing for the new Sony Reader that I found last month has just turned very real. There’s no word on when it will be out but retail is listed as €164.95 and there [...]

The free TouchPad app promotion was ended after only a day
August 27th, 2011 · 9 Comments · opinion
My TouchPad arrived today and I’ve been playing with it this evening. It’s a fun little device and I can really appreciate the complaints I’ve heard. (WebOS is great and HP’s hardware is crap.) Eventually I got to the point that I decided I was going to keep the TouchPad, so I finished setting up [...]

August 26th, 2011 · No Comments · piracy, software news
This is a repeat of a post that I know I already wrote. Unfortunately, it seems to have vanished. A couple weeks ago I posted about the Hamstersoft Ebook Converter. While the app may have been extremely popular, there was also a problem with it. The Hamstersoft Ebook Converter was based on code copied from [...]

Calibre updated
August 26th, 2011 · No Comments · calibre
My post earlier today on Sigil inspired me to go check on the status of calibre, the open-source ebook library app. There’s no major updates this week, but since it’s been some time since I last posted about calibre I thought this worth a post. But there are a few changes. Along with the usual [...]
