Note Apps:
Ink Blogging (saves handwriting as a graphics file): 1. Keynote on the iPad loses some information. Presenter notes and master slides don't show up. Transferring files from your Mac or PC to your iPad can be convoluted. Some things like contacts from Microsoft Outlook or iCal on a mac can be set up to sync thru iTunes or from Google Contacts. Others require a Apple MobileMe (iWeb) or Microsoft Exchange account.

iPhone GPS navigation buying advice | Consumer reports
When comparing iPhone applications to PNDs (portable navigation device) in our testing, we find that the
iPhone does not match the accuracy found in even basic dedicated devices.
This has been consistent over the several apps we have tested.
The simple advice is to choose an app from a name-brand company such as
Magellan, Navigon, and TomTom. These are large companies with many years of
experience in developing navigation products and software.
This is only 6 of 19 categories in the book.
