Apple iPad
With a 9.7″ display, weighing at 1.5lb and 10hour [claimed] battery life, it’s basically a large(r) iTouch. WiFi, 80211n, and BlueTooth is built in. For an extra $130 it comes with 3G (from AT&T). It plays rich digital content and is able to browse the web (most toasters are able to browse the web these days).
BTW, it also allows you to read Newspapers, Magazines and Books (that you have to get from iTunes).

Cloud Storage from Google
Cloud storage is now coming from google with 1Gb of Free capacity (250Mb for a single file) with extra storage available at $0.25/Gb/yr.
The initial overhead of uploading all my files will definitely be an issue (not to mention “trusting” someone else to protect my “stuff”). Also, working with applications that are not browser / web based (i.e., image or video processing) would NOT be ideal.
But to be able to have a temp backup storage of say 50Gb~100Gb could come in handy.

I’m really looking forward to this new gadget / gizmo from Apple.

flickr – “Add a Person”
It’s a new feature that flickr has added quite recently – it allows flickr users to “Add a Person” specifically – instead of simply adding a tag with the person’s name.
To see a list of “people” added in my photostream click on http://www.flickr.com/photos/smriti/people/ and to see pix / images I have been added to as a Person click on http://www.flickr.com/people/smriti/photosof/
What most excites me about this particular feature – once I’m added to a pix (that is not mine), I have access to the pix even if it is not publicly available.
To add myself to a pix is really easy. All I have to do is be logged in as myself. Then as I find myself in a pix (no matter who owns the image), I simply click on the “Add a person” link to the right of the image (just above the tags).

DropBox
I’m loving it already (I’ve ONLY been using it for about 15min so far).

flickr groups
OK, so I am a flickr addict (maybe there is a flickr anonymous or something out there that I ought to be signing up for), but even if I were not I think there should be a way to automate adding my images to various groups. It’s frustrating to have to do it all manually :o(
