C.) better resale value over the Samsung Galaxy Pro I've had some experience with htc Sense the skin that the Taiwanese handset maker puts on top of Android and found it beautiful.

So install the iCloud desktop app and turn on the items you want. It should populate your Outlook. From Outlook you can export to PST and/or CSV, save it to your 3-2-1 backup system. http://blog.wisefaq.com/2010/01/05/backups-with-the-3-2-1-rule/ I save 3 copies (1 on my machine, 1 on an external HDD, 1 on a USB stick) 2 media types (HDD and USB stick), 1 offsite (I have 2 offsite loca...
A bug lets you move newsstand into a folder #iOS5
From @kengie: make a new folder, drag the news stand really fast. But it doesn't work when it's in that folder http://t.co/bHdRgLma Took me a couple of tries but finally got it in a folder.

Tips & Tricks // Add an iMessage Link to your blog.
should work on MOBILE SAFARI and iOS DEVICES Got the latest iOS5 loaded on your device? Enjoying iMessage? Let readers of your site or blog send you an iMessage straight from Mobile Safari. Basically this is using the same command for SMS. So it's Send iMessage (try me on mobile safari) or Send iMessage (try me on mobile safari) NB: You can hide or obfuscate your number and / or email address for additional privacy. http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/03/hide-your-email-address-on-websites.html
