I ordered mine (with the 3G). I can’t wait for it to ship. Does anyone have any suggestions on apps I should download. I hear some of the apps are not worth it.

I’m obviously not blogging. Be back when I have more time.

I was on the fence on either taking Virgin America or JetBlue this time around to LA. I like the idea of having wifi on my flight but really hate LAX. I picked JetBlue because of the BetaBlue service. BetaBlue is suppose to give you access to Amazon, Gmail, Yahoo Mail & Messenger, and Blackberry support. I was sold. What I ended up with was frustration. BetaBlue gives you access to GMail’s mobile version. You can view it normal mode but it really doesn’t help because the service is really, really slow, like 28.8k slow. Yahoo Messenger failed to open, probably due to the speed as well. I didn’t even want to try Amazon at this point. As much as I hate LAX, I might have to try Virgin next time.

This is funny:

I’ve been itching for a Kindle for some time now. Since I haven’t made the leap, I decided to give the Kindle iPhone App a try. I’ve downloaded it a while back but just recently bought my first book. So far the user experience has been great. The only issue I have is the purchasing of the books on the iPhone itself. I wonder why Amazon went so far with the app but made the actual purchasing experience a pain.

When you click on Get Books, it takes you to a page telling you to go back to your Mac or PC and buy it there or use Mobile Safari. Launching Mobile Safari to make the purchase is less than optimal considering you have to do a lot of zoom ins and outs to find the right book. I really wish Amazon did a better job with this part of the process. An iPhone formatted web app would probably increase their conversion rate. I hope Amazon makes this change soon.
