E-Reader Price war! Finally almost affordable e-book readers.

Posted by nephi513 in Cool Gadgets, In the News on June 21, 2010

Check out theres two articles on the price drop of the most popular e-readers out there.

Barnes & Noble Intros Wi-Fi-only Nook, Lowers 3G Nook Price – PC World

Kindle Now Just $190 as Ebook Reader Price Wars Get Heated – Gizmodo

It is great that we are finally getting  smoke in the air in this e-book war.  I’m still to cheap to buy a nook or a kindle, but this is a great start.

At this point I think I’m going more for the nook, from a technical standpoint.  Extra color LCD, plus a e-ink display, android powered.  A wi-fi only option to make things cheaper.  Just Like the look more too.

I need to look into cost of e-books.  I think the price comparison would be the same.  But I don’t know.  Maybe that would be a good weekend project for me.

No more free checking! Good for most not for me.

I have never really gotten an overdraft, so this will probably hurt me. But this is probably great for the rest of the world. Or at least most of my college friends. They overdraft all the time.

Read the the article bellow and let me know what you think.

Just found this video on Gizmodo. It shows you a cool new mouse input.

The best is how the marketing department did their video. I love Tom and Jerry videos. Check it out for yourself below.

Official LDS mobile apps. Gospel Library and Mormon Channel.

Posted by nephi513 in LDS NEws on June 17, 2010

Wow! I can not believe my eyes. The church has officially launched there own mobile apps for Android, Iphone, Ipad, webos, with Blackberry and Windows CE coming soon. The applications are, The Gosepl Library and the Mormon Channel.

I’ve already installed both on my Android/Archos 5 Internet Tablet, and I have to say; Gospel Library is the best scripture app I have ever used. Simple, yet lots of features. It included with it, the Old & New testament, Book of Moron, D&C, Pearl of Great Price, Study Helps2010 April Conference, Gospel Principles, and the Old Testament Study Guide. I wish you could download more books as I would love to get the teachers manual for the Old testament. But hey I already love the layout.

The second app is called Mormon Channel. It allows you to listen to the radio internet stream of the new Mormon Channel Radio. This requires an internet connection of course, but is still very nice. It also allows you to stream the audio version of the scriptures, past conferences, and the lds magazines. Very nice.

Here is a link to the official church page announcing the applications, but if you want them go to your local market or iTunes store to get them. Just search for Gospel Library and/or Mormon Channel. They apps of both free.
