Google Android showdown: Battle of the eReader Apps Jason Perlow posted his iPad eReader apps showdown this past weekend and as a follow-up for readers here I wanted to present a showdown of the available ebook applications for the Google Android smartphone platform.

How a BlackBerry Works" When the BlackBerry debuted in 1999, carrying one was a hallmark of powerful executives and savvy technophiles.

How Smartphones Work" Think of a daily task, any daily task, and it's likely there's a specialized, pocket-sized device designed to help you accomplish it. You can get a separate, tiny and powerful machine to make phone calls, keep your calendar and address book, entertain you, play your music, give directions, take pictures, check your e-mail, and do countless other things. But how many pockets do you have? Handheld devices become as clunky as a room-sized supercomputer when you have to carry four of them around with you every day.
