Google launched the Chrome web store early this month. As we expected, there has been a huge surge in the number of apps being submitted to the web store and it becomes really tough to know which of them are really worth trying, since many of the apps are nothing but the bookmarks to the homepage of the service. I have no clue why Google is allowing such low quality bookmarks as apps in the web store. So, here is an attempt to filter out the best Chrome web apps for the benefit of each one of us who are Chrome users. It does include some apps which are bookmarks but of higher quality and give APPy feeling to the users.
Finally, we have the hands on video of the Notion Ink Adam tablet. The video demo shows off the multi-tasking capabilities of Eden UI, the customized version of Android, made specifically for Adam tablet by the Notion Ink guys.
The video was published on their blog by the CEO, Rohan Shravan but only six hours after it was published 'exclusively' on Android Police, quite unusual to what we had seen all these days. Nevertheless, the video does look exciting and Eden UI looks much better than any other Android based tablet UIs in place currently.
The video which you are going to see has most of the application loaded in the memory, we believe this is how a heavy user is going to use the Adam. HD video playbacks and High definition games have not been shown since that is what you have already seen on all the Tegra Capable devices. We have not done even a bit video editing to make it look smoother or saturated and it comes straight from the camera’s data card (taking permission here to call adding subtitles as “not editing video”).

PDF-XChange Lite is a popular PDF creator application that allows you to create or save PDF documents from any windows application. The funny thing is that this software doesn't have any user interface, which I am sure, will confuse many users. Rather, it installs a ‘Virtual Printer’ driver and generates a full Adobe compatible, native PDF format file when you print your documents by selecting PDF-XChange as the required printer.
