It appears as though Barnes & Noble is getting into the self-publishing business with their Pubit! product. Coming this summer (2010), they will be offering a service to help you create an electronic format of your book. In addition, they will help get it distributed to several platforms, including the iPhone OS and their Nook product. It looks promising for all those future novelists, my wife included.
It came as no surprise to me that Google announced to day a new app store for its Chrome OS. Why? Well, because:
Even more, the Chrome app store was able to show off some impressive apps, including one from Sports Illustrated. As an Apple fan, it’s no skin off my nose when good competition forces Apple to continue innovating. And, when Apple makes a misstep, these competitors are free to offer a good/service that I want at a price I accept.
Congratulations Google, you have officially peaked my interest.
