I <3 Instapaper

If you find yourself looking at tons of sites nay if you are on the internet. I suggest you get an Instapaper account. http://www.instapaper.com I find it particularly useful when I am on twitter (or when I am on a very slow connection). This way I can save pages I want to look at them later. 

Basically Instapaper is a service which saves links and shows them sans formatting. Which means it will consume less data. Content is king and with Instapaper it is content which is front and center, of course you can visit the original site with a simple click / tap. It's a very good multi-platform bookmark service.

After creating your account you can make a Read Later button so you can add web pages to your Instapaper via the browser. As you can see I have Instapaper pinned on Google Chrome (yes I am a chrome puff) this way whatever I save on my iPhone will show up once I start Chrome. Whatever I tag for later in Chrome will also show up in the Instapaper iOS app.

Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...
