Introducing Microsoft Docs for Facebook – Share MS Office files With Facebook Friends

On the Facebook developers conference f8, Mark Zuckerburg announced that Facebook will be launching a collaborative document-editing tool with Microsoft. Over 1500 software developers and FB app developers were present in the conference. You can watch f8 live on Facebook.

Docs.com is a join collaboration of Facebook and microsoft. Built on Microsoft Office 2010, the Docs app enables Facebook users for the first time to create and share Microsoft Office documents directly with their Facebook friends, using the Office tools they already know.

Documents can be created directly within the app, or can be uploaded from your PC. You can share the document with your selected friends or all the friends or with the whole world. Documents can be viewed and edited directly within a web browser – or, with a single click, you can edit them more richly and powerfully through the Microsoft Office software on your PC or Mac.

Docs is currently in limited beta. You can sign up to be notified when it’s available for you to use by connecting your Facebook account.

Docs – Homepage

You cannot multitask. You can only do one task at a time. If you want to surf the web and type into a document, you can’t. You need to exit one and then open the other.

No flash support. Enjoy the web without much of its content!

Doesn’t use a real operating system, like Windows or Mac OSX. It runs like an iPhone, not a laptop.

It doesn’t have an SD card slot or USB slot. You want to load all your photos and music on it? You need to buy a special dongle and attach it to the iPad. Ah yes, that’s convenient and cost-effective.

Apple wants to say it will be great for reading books and magazines, but it has a bright, glossy LCD screen. Meanwhile, electronic book reader devices use an electronic ink technology that doesn’t strain the eyes and can be used in the sun. Electronic book readers can run on battery for days, whereas the iPad claims up to 10 hours, but probably has much less.

You need to lay it flat and look straight down at it to type on it. It’s not like a netbook or laptop where the keyboard is flat and the screen is in front of your face.

You can buy a keyboard accessory — you can spend extra money to turn a low-power netbook-type tablet into a non-portable desktop computer. Meanwhile there are products like Lenovo U1 Hybrid where you can slip the tablet into a netbook shell and turn it into a portable, foldable laptop.

It costs $500, minimum, and has a 1 ghz processor. You’re paying $500 for something that has about the same capabilities as an iPod Touch, but is huge. Products with similar specs and abilities as the iPad cost less than that. If you want the model with enough disk space and 3G to make it worth your while, it’s $800.

My netbook has a 1.6 ghz Atom processor and cost me $200. And my netbook has an SD slot so I can make the hard drive space as large as I want. And my netbook has USB ports. And I can do multiple tasks on my netbook. Fact is, tablets have been around forever and the mainstream market didn’t want them. Just because they’ve slapped an Apple logo on it, should people suddenly want it?

I found a mini iphone listed on ebay and it states that it's made by Apple.Is this true? My husband really wants it, and I'm going to buy it for him anyway, but for my own sanity, I'd like to know if they are lying or telling me the truth. He only wants a touch screen and something that will work with itunes, so it doesn't matter to him.
