Well the new iPad is here, the "iPad 2". Should you go out and get one? While I'm as "techno-geek" as they come, I'm not sure you should. I know what you're thinking, but Helder it has the new design and it's thinner, lighter and faster; and it also has "FaceTime", Smart Covers and a 10 Hour Battery.

Well, first and foremost, i would say is if you don't have one, do you need FaceTime, Smart Covers, etc? Because if you don't then the original iPad pricing will most likely drop and now is a great time to pick one of those up. If you've already purchased the original iPad, then I would enjoy it as I have enjoyed mine. They are great and I use mine everyday; for work AND for fun! While I think FaceTime and Smart Covers are cool, it's definitely not a deal breaker for me and I LOVE my iPad.

The iPad has changed the landscape of computing and will forever be one of those devices that shaped the future of technology. Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, was quoted as saying, “iPad creates and defines an entirely new category of devices that will connect users with their apps and content in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.” Well Apple has definitely succeeded in achieving that goal. In fact I would say they hit the ball out of the park!

All of the other manufacturers out there have spent the last 12 months trying to play catch-up to Apple. Apple OWNS, the "Tablet" arena. No really, 95.5% market share to be exact. The other players are doing well, but they still have a long way to go. Here is a list of a few other devices similar to the iPad: 

• BLACKBERRY PLAYBOOK
• HP TOUCHPAD
• TOSHIBA TABLET
• MOTOROLA XOOM
• SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB
• ASUS EEE PAD TRANSFORMER

Some of these devices are very promising, in fact the Motorola Xoom is definitely worth a look. How about Microsoft? Where is Microsoft's answer? Microsoft won't even have a dedicated OS for the tablet until 2012, see article. I believe Apples toughest competition is not going to come from Microsoft as some would have expected, but actually from Google. With their Droid platform they are definitely giving Apple a run for their money. All you have to do is look at the phone market and that is what is happening in the Tablet industry also.

So back to the original question, "should you buy the new iPad? I would hold off for now on the iPad 2, especially if you already own the original iPad. If you're in the market for a Tablet, take a look at the original iPad, it may meet all of your needs for less money. If you own a Droid, take a look at their tablets, they are definitely worth it!

Dropbox is software that syncs your files online and across all of your computers

Have you ever needed to share files with many computers or across many locations? Put your files into your Dropbox on one computer, and they'll be instantly available on any of your other computers that you've installed Dropbox on (Windows, Mac, and Linux too!) Because a copy of your files are stored on Dropbox's secure servers, you can also access them from any computer or mobile device using the Dropbox website.

With Dropbox, your files are always in sync. Let's say you're editing a document at home. As soon as you click 'Save', Dropbox will sync this same file to all your other computers (and now your iPhone!) instantly and automatically. It's as if you saved the document to all of your computers. This gives you the freedom to work on any of your computers and always have the files you need.

Dropbox also lets you share files easily. You can easily share entire folders or photo albums with Dropbox. Simply put the folders you want to share in your Dropbox, and invite people to them. You can also send people links to specific files within your Dropbox. This makes Dropbox perfect for team projects.

With Dropbox, online backup is also automatic. Any file you put into your Dropbox folder is automatically backed up to their servers. Even if your computer has a melt-down, your files are safe on Dropbox and can be restored at any time. While their free 2GB account is perfect for backing up your documents, they also offer larger accounts (up to 100GB) for backing up your music and video collections.

Dropbox also lets you go back in time to undelete or undo changes to files. Every time you save a file in Dropbox, Dropbox syncs it to their secure servers. Dropbox keeps a history of every change you make so that you can undo any mistakes and even undelete files. By default, they keep 30 days of history for all your files and they also have an unlimited undo option called "Pack-rat".

I really like Dropbox and feel that it is better than some other solutions because it replaces:

• Emailing file attachments to yourself and other people
• Using USB drives to move files between computers
• Renaming files to keep a history of previous versions
• Complicated backup software and hardware
• And more!
