Hardware

  • Apple MacBook Air (2010) Not as revolutionary (over an MBP with SSD) as the Jobsian RDF would have you believe, but the smaller size is well worth it.
  • HTC Aria Goes with Yelp and turn by turn navigation to make an impressive travel aid.
  • iPad
  • iPhone 4 with fancy Retina Display, 2 cameras, and controversial antenna design
  • Kindle 3 with smaller size, better battery life, comparably decent display, usably fast display refresh, and only lacking epub support
  • Samsung EX1/TL500 with fast f1.8 lens, RAW support, articulating AMOLED display, excellent Lightroom support, and pocketable size

Software

Desktop

Mobile

  • Cyclemeter (iOS) Pretty sweet activity tracking tool for only $5.
  • Navigation (Android) Killer mobile app.
  • MyTracks (Android) Killer mobile app.
  • Yelp (Android)

Yelp and Google turn-by-turn Navigation combined are _the_ killer mobile app. Find a restaurant/event, click the directions button, and have the GPS take you there. Although the directions are still sometimes a little funky, this feature combination has revolutionized my opinion of "smart" phones and has changed the way I travel.

Cloud Services

  • Airbnb low overhead short term rental accommodation
  • Couchsurfing lower overhead short term accommodation
  • Google ebookstore on launch day had a book I couldn't find anywhere else, and I only had to remove a little bit of annoying Adobe DRM to get it to work on the device of my choosing
  • Google Voice somehow didn't make it into the list back in 2006 when it was GrandCentral. Being able to send and receive SMS from a computer or phone is _fantastic_, as are voicemail transcriptions. Integration with Android is key.
  • Netflix comes to Canada - streaming only (no discs by mail) and with less selection compared to US, thanks to licensing restrictions
  • Pandora still not in Canada, but the iOS app is fantastic for listening on the go, plugging into your car, etc.
  • DropBox Perhaps yesterday's news.
