What sucks about the Apple iPad

Let's learn them from Gizmodo (I agree with almost all of it):

Finding best and free iPhone Apps

Of course you'd like to find the best applications available for iPhone, and find them cheap, or even better, for free!
There is an app for that!

• Bargain Bin with Push: You can set "watch prices". If a watched app goes on sale for below the watched price, you receive a push notification.
  
• Pandora Box: You see not only apps that have price drops, but also newly released apps.
  
• App Popular: You can track apps. If a tracked app has a change of price, you get a push notification.
  

I listed the apps in the order I would recommend. I use all of them. I also use a very nice web site for this purpose:
appshopper.com

Enjoy the best iPhone apps cheap or for free!

Best Game recently

If you are looking for an addictive and humongous game to play, definitely buy Dragon Age Origins. If you want a free preview, try their flash game Dragon Age Journeys. I promise, the original game is well worth, with lots of new downloadable content coming up from Bioware.

Firefox Add-ons

Must-have firefox add-ons:

• Xmarks (formerly Foxmarks): A very easy to use bookmark synchronization tool. Extremely useful if you use multiple computers. Keeps a version history of your bookmarks, can synchronize automatically upon exiting firefox, and can keep multiple bookmark profiles (work, home, etc.).
• AutoCopy: Copies the selected text to clipboard. Saves an incredible amount of time and frustration during copy-paste operations.
• CustomizeGoogle: Tired of all the ads on google, or want to change how clean gmail looks, then this is perfect for you.
• Adblock Plus: Ads are gone. I cannot surf the Internet without this add-on; pages look really bad and packed without it.
• Personal Menu: IE- or Chrome-like menu instead of the menu bar on top. Saves space. Note, if you just want to gain some screen real estate, you can use the lighter extension named Hide Menubar. In both, pressing "Alt" reveals the menu bar.
  

I try to keep my add-ons to a minimum to keep firefox fast. Comment down if you have other favorites and suggestions...

iPhone apps

My list of suggested applications (subject to change):

• Usual recommendations: Facebook, Skype, Yelp, Dropbox (see http://geekxperts.blogspot.com/2009/11/online-storage-and-backup.html).
  
• For IM: Nimbuzz. It is free and lets you join multiple accounts at once. It has a "stay online" period of up to 30 minutes after you close the app that pushes new message alerts.
  
• For text messaging: TextPlus. This one is free, and lets you send text messages as a group. Great way to reach multiple friends at once. It has push.
• For music: Pandora, Last.fm, and maybe imeem.
• For movies: Flixster. You can link it to your Facebook and Netflix accounts.

Now some extra interesting stuff:

• For reading books: Wattpad, Stanza. Both offer lots of free books, and a good reading experience.
• Cheap games: Tap Tap Revenge 3. You can try Tap Tap Revenge 2 before buying this one. But if you like version 2, you won't be disappointed to buy version 3 for just $0.99.
• For remote controlling your computer: AirMouse. This one I really love. Especially when watching a movie or listening to music, you can easily pause, rewind, etc. Also offers a nice touchpad mouse, and some programmable buttons.
