For example, iPhone and iPod Touch owners know how powerful having a full-featured browser is. We on the Reader team are heavy mobile Safari users.

Worldwide Telescope launches half-baked!
via Tom Raftery's Social Media by Tom Raftery on May 13, 2008
Microsoft launched their much-hyped WorldWide Telescope this morning.The application has a lot of promise as an educational tool, in that it can make astronomy fun and engaging.

via Epicenter by Betsy Schiffman on May 13, 2008
