Yesterday Apple came with an update to their office solution, iWork. The update 9.0.4 is important for all of us still dreaming of a paper free life. Pages can now export documents to ePub, the chosen format in iBooks (iPhone/iPad) and many other eReader devices. The added ePub support in iWorks makes it a lot more convenient for scientific staff and students to make use of the iPad in their work and studies. It is important to note that export to ePub only works with the word processing […] Continue reading →
If you are reading this iPad review, you are probably still wondering if you should spend $499 or more on an iPad, and you are looking for some answers.

I have a confession to make, I have gotten myself an iPhone two days ago, and funnily enough yesterday TeliaSonera announced that they through Netcom will sell iPhones in Norway. This is not to be a long review, to many have already written one. It is the best mobilephone I have had so far. I bought it despite it’s lack of support of MMS (you can send pictures as e-mail) and the lack of video recording. That the iPhone doesn’t support wireless headsets (bluetooth) doesn’t […] Continue reading →
