Zinio for iPad is a Great way to read magazines but not perfect
There are a number of big magazines out there that have created their own iPad application such as Wired, Time, and Popular Science. At $5 per issue it is hard to justify buying them over the newsstand version. Wired magazine as a monthly is a pretty good deal because the digital version is less expensive than the paper version.… Read the rest “Zinio for iPad is a Great way to read magazines but not perfect”

Congratulations, your auto-renew of 250 MB of data for 30 days for $14.99 was successful
I got a nice little note from AT&T today. My data plan actually has 23 hours left on it according to the iPad itself. I used 160MB for the month.

Apple is offering Free iPod Touch again this year with purchase of new mac — waiting until after WWDC to buy

The @audible_com iPad app should allow synchronized bookmarks across devices like the Kindle app– now that would be cool
