The new products like Amazon Appstore for Android and the Amazon cloud drive seem like the precursor for a new Amazon tablet device. Just when I was about to purchase a Kindle 3 I hear about this article. Does Amazon have the firepower to compete with Apple?

The Dropbox Blog » Blog Archive » Privacy, Security & Your Dropbox
Dropbox has changed their terms of service for the product and has addressed some of the security questions that users have asked. Top one the list for me, is the the standard AES-256 encryption. I still manage to keep a TrueCrypt volume on my DropBox folder for the most sensitive documents that I store, but the whole box encryption is a nice addition. I think that Dropbox is moving to become a standard secure file sharing service that can align itself with banks and other financial services in the future.

Square – Accept credit card payments with your mobile phone
I have heard this item recommended by various individuals on the podcast that I listen to on a regular basis. This tool will allow you to accept credit card payment with your IPhone, IPad and Android phones. The device is free and the charge to use the service are based per transaction and look to be inline with normal bank processing fees.
Filter your data in spreadsheets - Google Docs
Things keep getting better and better with the spreadsheet program at Google Docs. At long last the ability to filter data inside a spreadsheet has been added. This year I'm doing every Excel type worksheet needed for my personal tax return on Google Docs. I've recently reformatted my home notebook and have yet to install Microsoft Office, at this point I don't think I will in the near future if ever.
