whats the best pdf reader? at least with bookmark option

I can't decide between waiting for the next gen Iphone or just get the many android phones out there now.

One major factor is the apps. I believe there are more apps for the iphone than android phones...is that true?

Anyone knows if there are good (and preferably free) android apps for offline maps and offline language translators? I wish to travel without paying for roaming charges.

I guess you don't need a phone urgently if you can ask about the iPhone5. If you can wait, wait for it. If it's released end of this year, we should be getting it next year

There are some analysts who say Android apps will overtake iOS apps (in fact, in July). But Android apps quality is relatively lower than iOS version (eg. Facebook, eBay), and some apps and games are released on iOS first before ported over to Android if there's demand. Of course, there are some Android apps that will never be available on iOS because of the closed nature of the system (widgets, automation, etc).

If apps are your #1 priority, wait for iPhone5 or buy iPhone4 now

Offline worldwide maps - not sure.
Offline dictionaries: ColorDict. Can install languages you desire like German English, Japanese English, English Chinese, etc.

Android: more free app than iOS or the ratio of free to paid is higher in Android Market.
Apps quality maybe a bit lower than iOS, but I don't care as iOS apps are mostly lame to fix up the broken OS.
For me real iOS apps, are Cydia apps........

Well...I don't need a phone urgently but I have travel plans in October and having a smartphone (leeching on free wifi) is definitely a good travel companion.

I read an article about a year ago regarding an iphone app that allows you to take pictures of a sign/text in foreign language and convert it to english. I wish there's something like that for Android.

Hence now I'm debating whether to just give in and get an Android by October or forego travelling with a smartphone and get the iPhone next year.

Hehe..good to know, I love free goods!

Hey, check out Google Goggles. It's like Google search but you're now searching with pictures. It can translate text too! But requires data connection

Yes, Android has 50% free apps. iOS has 25% free apps.

If you want to transfer big files between your PC and Android, you can use FTP Server. Most importantly, connection is without cable.

1) SwiFTP FTP Server
2) My FTP Server

I've tried with My FTP Server and FileZilla (in my windows), the amount time of transferring is 6 minutes for 304 MB files.

Which app is best for MSN/Yahoo messaging on Android?

Best in the sense of: Stable, minimal/no errors or problems, minimal memory footprint.

Lotsa names mentioned online, but first-hand feedback from users here would be appreciated

ebuddy is my choice ..

used 'IMO messenger' before too , choose this 1 if u need skype

just curious... since this is Android section, assumption i make is that most are Android users and indirectly, should be Google users.

so, essentially, we are ok with leaving our data with Google. they are big and so far they have done no major wrongs.

data = contacts, emails, credit card details, etc... the full range of Google services and products.

however, how does one feel about other company handling your data?

companies like... Facebook, Twitter whatsapps, tango, etc... From what I understand with companies/ apps like whatsapp, they will use their server to send the messages between your contacts. potentially, they could be keeping a copy of your messages. are you guys comfortable with that?

for me... i'm not really into FB. never liked how they handle our privacy -- heck, i feel they totally want to disregard our privacy.

i've yet to install whatsapp mainly because i dun like to have another party handling my data/ communication. since i already 'trust' Google, prefer to use Gtalk, etc... However, most of my contacts (iphone users especially) is not on it...

so dilemma for me... what about you guys?

I use FB for fun. It's a great way to catch up on friends whom I don't contact as much as I want to. I don't upload pics, but friends/family upload them and tag me (I can't stop them). Certain details have to be accurate and real so old friends can find me (name, etc).

Google - they read my email and target me with personalised ads, know my appointments via Calendar, what I have on my phone via Market, etc. But I don't really care. I'm just 1 tiny dot in the sea of millions of their users.

Whatsapp - they can know my entire phonebook and my conversation with all of my contacts. This feels a bit scarier to me, so I've never had the urge to install Whatsapp. Having less control than conventional IM makes me feel insecure.

Nowadays corporations can easily identify us as individuals, knowing where we live, what we bought, what we like, how we look like, who our family members and friends are (and details about them like above), where we work, how much we earn, etc. Scary, isn't it?

ya, it is scary. so i try to limit my exposure. Google is a 'risk' i can accept. some like skype (i think now considered as part of MS) is also acceptable.

sms is still playing an important role for me -- most of my friends still like to send short messages, etc... so, i'm a bit disappointed that i can't join in as most want or are using apps like tango/ whatsapps. i'm still trying to resist installing in... trying instead to get my friends to install skype, etc...

anyway, i have a few apps installed -- mainly games. but non games ones are: tweetdeck, Google Reader, Google + (apk), 3G watchdog, LinkedIn, Barcode scanner, Dolpin HD, moboplayer and recently -- Note Everything (this is a super excellent memo apps -- and best of all, free -- plan to donate to the dev later).
