Apple isn't the only one who stands to make a lot of money off of its iPad tablet - app developers do too. Enter Amazon, who along with Barnes & Noble, revealed to The New York Times plans to create new digital readers and storefronts for the iPad.
"We have actually developed a tablet-based interface that redesigns the core screen and the reading experience," said Ian Fred, vice president for Kindle at Amazon. "Our team had some fun with it."
According to NYT, the Kindle app for the iPad allows readers to slowly turn pages with their fingers. The interface also introduces a couple of new ways for owners to view their ebook collection, including a view where large thumbnails of book covers are displayed on a backdrop of a silhouetted figure reading under a tree. What's cool about the backdrop is that the sun's position coincides with whatever time it is.
Amazon has also set up a page to promote "Kindle Apps for Tablet Computers," which includes all tablets.
"Tablet computers, including the iPad, are coming and with our free app you'll be able to read more than 450,000 Kindle books," Amazon claims. "Like all Kindle apps, Kindle for table computers will include Whispersync technology, which automatically synchronizes your last page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights across your Kindle and Kindle compatible devices including PC, Mac, iPhone, and BlackBery."

Google Chrome isn't available for Linux yet. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 Sohbet Odaları on both of my laptops. Kind of surprising that Google is so gung-ho about open source software, Chat but didn't release a version that runs on an open source OS. Has anyone seen a release date for a Linux version? Canlı tv izle - canlı tv Firefox 3 is quite fast and izlesene stable for me in Sohbet - sohbet odaları Ubuntu. Plus, there are all the awesome addons. Chat I don't see any other browser forum replacing Firefox mirc indir - Chat - porno - porno izle as my primary browser.
