Now  I have Windows Applications seamlessly coexist with mac apps. Parallels is  developer friendly with  easy cloning of  instances and  easy backups.

This system is pretty easy to use and easy to set up. I like having guides and walkthroughs, but this could be setup easily without help. I haven't tried to use the other apps on this box yet, but my friends have and they all love this system. This also much more than Kodi. It comes preinstalled with all the Apps you find on the Apple Tvs or Ruku at a fraction of the cost and the addition of FREE KODI!!!!!!! You can search the web as well! No comparison!! awesome product

Great app for organizing your library, importing songs and setting up your custom or prime stations!  Excellent....beats the pants of ITunes and if you have a Echo it's amazing!!

I was running Panther prior and so I skipped the whole Tiger release. Anyway, some people complain about the Finder which I admit looks a little cluttered, but it's also more flexible, and like all new things, there's always some getting used to the changes. I did a fresh build, not an upgrade, and it has been rock solid. I don't understand why everyone else is experiencing crashes and whatnot. Time Machine is awesome and unique and more logical way of backing up (who the heck backs up to CD/DVD anyway anymore?!), plus it's all automated and easy to use. The new Spaces is a virtual desktop thing and is standard UNIX fair (usually called a "the pager"), but it was still nice to see it implemented. I love the glamourous interface and don't understand why everyone thinks it robs CPU power. I'm using an old 1.8 G5 with 2 GB memory and Leopard runs fast and hard! I don't have one even one minor complaint about it after running it for several months. Thanks Apple!

Lots of thought went in to developing this app. The user experience is one of the best I've seen. The app gives just enough control to make it easy to operate my fans without being over complicated. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Kudos to the design team!

Used it last year and was most impressed! So much of the app is automatically handled, and very well in my experience.

I just received this from my sister and love it! I installed the software without a hitch on my WinXP desktop (contrary to another reviewer's experience, the program Photoviewer appeared in the Start menu after the reboot), plugged in the provided usb cable and easily navigated the menu that appeared, first setting the date and time, and then just as easily deleting the 2 stock photos that came with the program and importing about 20 of my own.  The entire procedure took less than half an hour.  I now have it plugged in and charging, 3 hours to full charge according to the manual.  I'm thrilled with my new toy and new means of inflicting, I mean sharing, my nephew pictures with one and all.

Good tips on apps.  Easy flow from one topic to the next.  Really helped me.
Worth the money.

I first read a freebie book on the subject and did not get what I needed to manage.  This is much fuller.

I got an advanced e-copy of this book through netgalley (dot) com.  I was excited to see which apps they picked for best apps.  I have been using the Android platform since the first G1 phone was released through T-mobile.  I now use a Nexus One.  I go through new apps/games every couple months to see what is out there and, as I said, was curious to see how they went through the massive amount of apps.  They do a pretty darn good job and the every day user should be pleased with this guide.

This is an interesting book and starts out by going through the best overall apps for the Android platform.  After that the book is broken down into sections (business, communications, lifestyle, entertainment, games, utility/tool, and reference apps) and they go through the best apps for each thing.

At the end of the book the QR Codes are listed in alphabetical order for all of the apps that were presented in the book.  If would have been nice to have the QR code right at the bottom of the app after it is discussed, but the page it is on is referenced so it's not a big deal.

This book goes through a broad range of apps.  We are talking any thing from sky maps to server access, to app organization to clothing organization.  Some of them you will never need, some of them you already use, and some of them will be extremely useful to you.  The authors do a pretty good job of providing free alternatives as runners up to the apps that cost something.

The format is basically the app name, cost, developer, version, a quick description of the app, and then many screenshots of the how the app works.  There are a ton of screen shots in this book and it is a very effective way to see the apps.

A couple of the apps that they mention that I totally agree with as being awesome are:
- Newsrob (RSS feed reader)
- MyCloset (clothing organization)
- Astrid (task manager)
- Pandora (internet radio)
- Weatherbug (weather app)
- Many Others

There are a couple that I was disappointed that they didn't include.  They also didn't mention Hungry! which is an awesome grocery shopping app that I use all the time.  I frequently use Calorie Counter which allows you to keep both food and exercise diaries.  But that is a pretty short list and I definitely did find some apps in this book that I will find useful in the future that I didn't know existed.

Now the question is, is it worth spending the money to buy this book?  That depends on the type of person you are.  If you are like me and already spend a lot of time going through apps as they become available then this guide may not tell anything you don't know.  The other thing to consider is that there are a number of websites that list the top Android Apps for this or that and those are free (if possibly biased or skewed to a certain demographic group).  If you are the type of person who doesn't want to spend a ton of time looking for apps but wants to get the most out of your Android phone then this book could be very useful to you.

This is a book that will be outdated quickly as the app market is constantly changing, so that is something to consider.  The screen shots are great and will really help you decide if an app is for you, especially if it is one you have to pay for.  Having the QR codes in the back is convenient and saves you the time of searching for them in Android Market.

Overall I think this a great book for people who want an overview of the apps provided in Android Market and who want to be pointed at apps that are reliable and useful.

We got the version with Windows 10 pre-loaded. It is amazing!

Right now, I'm trying this out.  It seemed pretty easy to load.  I'll give you an update on this as I continue to work with it.

These things are just amazing.  The possibilities are endless.  I had never used Linux and knew very minimal programming, but man, this thing makes you want to learn.  In the few months I've had it, I was able to build a complete arcade system that you would see in an arcade, except you can effortlessly switch between over 400 games in a matter of seconds.  Just finished my second build of a remote control car.  This is perfect for any kid (I'm 31) to learn on.  I do work in the computer field and am quite a "geek/nerd" but this thing is awesome!!

VERY easy install. Easy interface. I also had no problem when my old laptop died and I replaced it with a desktop. It communicates well the other devices I want to read books on, such as my old Android Tablet or my iPad.
In THIS download, I'm using a really big monitor, so I make the text big enough to see, lean back in my easy chair, and read away. I almost always have this app running, and I'm actually USING it more than any other program I have.
My gift-from-God, happily-ever-after trophy wife Vanessa, the elegant, foxy, praying black grandmother of Woodstock, GA, recently installed it, and is now in love with the way she can access books so easily

Completely happy with this one!  The software is amazing to use on this device.  I'm anxiously awaiting the SDK which will open up this device to more third party software.

I got this with my dell. I love it. I have read alot of reviews about how it is a bloated programme and how so many others are better but i honestly love this OS. I need not go into how nice the interface looks for i am sure alot of persons have done that for me. With Service Pack 1 and my regular updates i have not noticed any problems stability-wise. I have even read reviews that show that with SP1 its performance is now comparable to the hugely successfull predecessor XP with SP2.

I was very disappointed with the fact that i could not use certain programmes with it...noteably ArcView 3.x and ArcGIS 9.0 . All other compatable issues i had were eventually solved by driver updates from the device or software manufacturers.

I love it.

My task manager has way more apps than I was hoping for.
Otherwise it works well.
Linux machine recognized it without a hitch as well.
