“Nook for PC” and “Kindle for PC” – how to copy text
Last Christmas I was fortunate enough to receive a Nook reader, the device sold by Barnes and Noble which competes directly with the industry-leading device, Kindle. Not only did I begin reading books on my Nook device, I also downloaded the Barnes and Noble reader software for my PC, later retitled in a later release, “Nook for PC”. During this most recent software update, I experienced a number of changes in the software — mostly positive.
BUT… I have found that their new PC reader software no longer allows copying of text!! In the past, you could select a sentence or passage that stood out to you, press CTRL+C to copy the text, and paste it where else you like.
If I am reading through a book and find a particularly good/memorable passage (as is happening often as I read through Stuart Vyse’s Going Broke: Why Americans Can’t Hold On To Their Money right now), I am not able to copy a sentence or paragraph and drop it into a word document, blog post, etc. for further reference. In the past, this was possible, but it appears they have removed the technology from the reader. No doubt this was due to publisher concerns around plagiarism, copyright issues, etc. Though I don’t own a Kindle, out of curiosity as to how this works in the Kindle for PC software tool, I downloaded that software, downloaded a free book, and encountered the same thing – no “copy” function on any of the menus, available via right click after selecting text, and no CTRL+C functionality available.
So what’s the solution?
In both the Nook for PC and the Kindle for PC software, a “search” feature of some kind exists on the menu that appears after you select text from a page and right-click on the selected text. In Nook for PC, it gives you the right-click menu option to search Wikipedia for that text, and in the case of Kindle for PC, without even having to right-click it pops up a menu after you select the text which includes the option of searching the book itself for instances of the text you have selected. Selecting either function results in the corresponding search being triggered, and viewing of those search words (or paragraph as it may be) in the search tool. So, while this solution lacks elegance, these search features do get the text, long as the passage may be, into a editable, copyable input box in your browser (the Wikipedia search in Nook for PC) or into an editable field (search box in Kindle for PC).
After the search has been triggered, you simply go to the field where the now-editable search text is located, select the text, click CTRL+C and your text is now in the clipboard, ready for pasting into a blog posting, word document or whatever. As always, make sure not to violate copyright laws and to follow proper procedures for citing the source of the quoted text.
Busy brains, dumber brains…?
Just read an article on CNBC today that confirms what I have learned myself– though I rarely act on it. (Full article at http://www.cnbc.com/id/38815496/).
Read this paragraph from this article discussing the effect of “digital input” on thinking:
Cellphones, which in the last few years have become full-fledged computers with high-speed Internet connections, let people relieve the tedium of exercising, the grocery store line, stoplights or lulls in the dinner conversation.
The technology makes the tiniest windows of time entertaining, and potentially productive. But scientists point to an unanticipated side effect: when people keep their brains busy with digital input, they are forfeiting downtime that could allow them to better learn and remember information, or come up with new ideas.
When I spend time away from my iPhone, my laptop, electronics, media, and people — even for a short period of time (30 min, 2 hours) — I solve problems and re-focus in a unique way that has a dramatic impact on my effectiveness when I “return” back to my noisy world. And this is my experience as an extrovert myself, who can generally handle a pretty steady stream of noise and activity.
Just this past Sunday afternoon I had about 3 hours of silence as the three other members of my family took long naps… I came up with ideas and thoughts in a way that I had not done in quite a while. The challenge for me — and probably for most of my readers — is to make this time priority, so that all of our other hours of the day or week will be that much more productive.
3 Software / Web Tools to Fall In Love with
I am in the process of returning to blogging on a more regular basis again (two boys under the age of 2 can really tax your schedule!), but for the moment I wanted to at least share a few productivity tools that I have found and fallen in love with over the past year…
And not only are all 3 tools very useful, they also have basic, fully functioning versions that are completely free!!
1) LastPass – http://www.lastpass.com
This password-memory tool appears to be the industry leader. It bills itself as the “last password you will ever need” — you do, in fact, log in once and then worry no more about remembering passwords. LastPass is smart– when you are in a website sign-up page asking for a username, password, etc., Lastpass offers you the choice to have it generate a unique, secure password that it will remember in its database. If you decline and enter one on your own, as you successfully hit submit/continue/etc on that page, it gently prompts you at the top of your browser to ‘Save site’ if this a site whose username/password you would like to retain.
LastPass has a lot of different features- AutoFill, AutoLogin, and even multiple form-field profiles to save common sets of information you may find yourself entering on websites of all kinds (think ‘home address’, ‘business address’, even payment info, etc.). There are plug-ins for multiple browser types, and even an iPhone version. Though I’ve not yet tried the iPhone plugin, I imagine that it will be immensely helpful. Not only is entering usernames/passwords in iPhone’s Safari often cumbersome, it’s an even more grueling process if you have to go through a Forgot Password routine! LastPass helps you avoid both scenarios.
2) Adolix split and merge PDF – http://www.adolix.com/split-merge-pdf/
Talk about a paperless office has been almost constant now for the last 10-15 years — and yet, from my own experience, it has just been the last 2-3 years that the mainstream business world is really grabbing hold of this concept. True, digital signatures have not yet taken over as a preferred method of signing over a signature, but on the few things that still require signatures, the printed and then signed document quickly becomes digital again for the purpose of emailing over to a colleague, customer, vendor, or other party expecting the quick arrival of the signed document. In this new world of electronic documents – largely dominated by MS Word format documents in the sphere of ‘editable’ formats, and especially in the world of imaged documents dominated by the Adobe PDF file format, there is need for easier management of not just files, but also PAGES.
How many times have you needed to pull out pages 3-4 of a 20-page pdf contract to email to someone? What do you do? You probably either email them the whole file and hope they can find the sections you need to emphasize to them, or you laboriously print out the relevant pages out of the larger PDF, scan them back into your computer, and email the new, smaller PDF file. Painful, eh?
Enter Adolix. They have created a very helpful utility that allows you to quickly split out pages of a PDF document.
How about combining PDF’s? Or combining pages 1-2 of one PDF file, and then pages 7-10 of the next file? You can use the utility’s split tool to first pull out the relevant pages, and then use its MERGE tool to combine the two newly formed PDF’s into one new file. And, if you use this tool in conjunction with a PDF creator such as Adolix’s own “PDF Converter” utility, or my personal favorite CutePDF (http://www.cutepdf.com/), you can easily take a number of files in different format (a Word document here, an Excel document there, a PDF document there), convert the non-PDF files into PDF’s, and then combine them withoT Adolix!
3) Mikogo - http://www.mikogo.com/
After being tired of essentially being tied to GoToMyMeeting, GoToMyPC, or WebEx for years, I finally spent some time googling around about a year go to find a free solution for screen sharing and web conferencing. I was very happy to come across Mikogo. Mikogo was developed by a company that sells high-end virtual conferencing solutions — a company that now appears to have moved into the GoToMy____ space.
Again, the Mikogo product is FREE, and I have found works just as smoothly as any of the other solutions out there– additionally, I found that the app that runs resident in the system tray does not bog down your computer’s memory or processor, and the features that come in Mikogo are equal to or even better than those found in comparable and more popular utilities.
Now if they could only change their name to something less nonsensical…
I hope that this review of these tools has been helpful!
Underestimating the web… back in 1995
I came across this article by Clifford Stoll from the Newsweek magazine issue dated February 27, 1995. I couldn’t help but laugh at the opening lines of the article:
After two decades online, I’m perplexed. It’s not that I haven’t had a gas of a good time on the Internet. I’ve met great people and even caught a hacker or two. But today, I’m uneasy about this most trendy and oversold community. Visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms. They speak of electronic town meetings and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems. And the freedom of digital networks will make government more democratic.
Baloney. Do our computer pundits lack all common sense? The truth in no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.
Admittedly, he makes some great points later in the article about electronic interaction not completely replacing human interaction, which is true but not as true as it appears he thought. The entire article is worth a reading and can be found by clicking here.
Barnes & Noble’s nook device – proposals for better lending
Barnes & Noble’s highly anticipated ebook reader, the nook, boasts a variety of features that B&N says makes it superior to the Kindle device made by Amazon.
I received one as a gift for Christmas, and while I am still awaiting its arrival, I’ve done a good bit of reading about the device. Overall, it sounds like a great device but like any 1st/2nd generation product, the nook should be expected to have its share of imperfections and unfinished features.
One of these unfinished features is the nook’s ability to lend out books, but only temporarily, to other Nook users. According to the clarification from B&N as stated on the nook blog nookTalk (on Twitter as @nookTalk, “the books you buy for your nook can only be loaned out ONCE for fourteen days.” This “one-lend-only-and-just-for-14-days” feature, in my mind, makes this feature more hype than substance. How often do you borrow a book from a friend and return it 14 days later? And how often have you lent out a book multiple times to various friends you have who you think should read the book, or read enough of it to be interested in purchasing it themselves? How frustrating would it be to only have the ability to lend the book out one time, and never again?
Admittedly, the nook’s ability to lend books at all is better than the Amazon Kindle’s lack of a lending feature. And I imagine there’s plenty of business, partner/copyright, and technology issues at play here that prevented a more relaxed lending feature at this time, but here is my question: why not allow the process of lending an e-book to occur in essentially the same way as the lending of physical books works?
Here are my specific suggestions on how to loosen up the technology to better emulate real-life book lending, while also (somewhat) protecting content creators’ copyrights, their royalties, and the publisher’s/distributors’ revenues. These suggestions could be implemented by any of the e-book / e-reader companies:
- Extend the time limit of lending. This is an obvious problem; I would propose they extend the time limit at least to 60 or 90 days, but preferably to something closer to 6 months. This only makes sense, as a physical book lent out can sometimes stay gone for a while.
- Do not allow the owner of the e-book to read it while it is “lent out”. This may be disappointing to e-book users, but it does accurately match what happens with physical books and thereby provides some protection to content providers’ copyright and distribution concerns.
- Implement automatic reversion of the reading rights. As a way of preventing the scenario we have all experienced where you lend a book to someone, but it turns out to be a gift to them (because they never return it!), the devices would ideally revoke reading rights to the book on the lender’s device/account after the lending time limit is up, and return those reading rights to the e-book owner. Update: I heard from @nookTalk shortly after publishing this post that this feature “should work” currently. Thanks for the info!
- Allow for upgrades / “full license” purchase of ebooks to remove or relax restrictions – Apple has already done a similar thing with their music, often offering a non-protected version of songs on iTunes for $1.29 instead of the standard $0.99 per song price, for example. So, an e-book that normally sells for $9.99 could sell for, say, $14.99 in an unprotected format that might have relaxed lending restrictions (even longer lending, lending to more than 2 or 3 people and simultaneous access to the book yourself, etc.) This would calm the critics and ensure that people could have more flexibility if they paid more for the e-book– probably something closer to the cost of what the physical book would cost in the store.
- Implement a “lending friends” list – Thankfully, my understanding is that the nook does allow multiple accounts (I’m not sure of how many, but I am sure it’s comparable to the Kindle’s 6 account limit) to have access to the same books. This should assuage any concerns about members of the same household being able to access each other’s books. But my LENDING friends list that I suggest essentially works the same way, except that the list of accounts can be larger and is used for the lending feature only, not for unlimited normal access to your library. This again would somewhat of a limiting feature to users, but would be a mitigating protection for B&N and publishers. If you, for example, can only lend any of your books to someone on a list of 10 different for example, this will limit the odds that lending will be so easy as for some to avoid purchasing books altogether.
I am hopeful — and confident — that as the e-book technology improves and technology creators, authors, and publishers come to grips with the radical changes that will be coming to their industry with the rise of e-books, there will also be an eventual improvement and standardization of features such as e-book lending across all devices. Hopefully these suggestions here will help to kick-start the discussion.
Why isn’t faxing dead yet?
My original title for this post was “Is faxing dead?” But upon typing out those words, the answer was obvious: yes and no, and so I changed the title to “Why isn’t faxing dead yet?”. If the ancient 20-something-year-old art of placing a paper in a machine that will send the image across phone lines to a fax machine or server elsewhere in the world was entirely dead, then people would disconnect all fax machines, stop purchase fax software, and most importantly they would stop placing the numbers on their business cards. But those things haven’t happened across the board as of yet (in fact, the idea for this post came to me as I was entering an attorney’s contact info off of her business card, fax number included, into my computer the other day). Nonetheless, many DID turn their back on fax machines long ago and so as far as they’re concerned the answer is “yes”. But for the reasons I will detail momentarily, one cannot claim the total death of faxing quite yet.
THE OBVIOUS ALTERNATIVE TO FAXING
With Internet access and Internet use now more ubiquitous than a nearby fax machine, one would think the simple act of scanning and emailing a document would have replaced faxing years ago. The idea of emailing a scanned image, and more importantly the idea of receiving a scanned image attached to your email (as opposed to pages falling off of a fax machine in the next room) is extremely attractive. The electronic, scan/email approach is so much easier (in my opinion) that at one point when I worked at an office without a scanner but that had a fax machine down the hall, I would fax a document to my e-fax number on my computer, walk back to my computer and then forward the email I received from that fax machine on to the intended recipient via e-mail. I did both myself AND the eventual recipient of my fax a big favor by keeping our correspondence digital by converting the hardcopy document into digital format. This would allow us both to access and view the document then and in the future from anywhere and at any time.
REASONS WHY FAXING ISN’T DEAD
All this having been said, why is it then that fax numbers still exist, and fax transmissions continue? I would propose that the jump has not yet happened for 3 reasons:
Reason #1: Scanner manufacturers (i.e. Brother, Canon, HP, etc.) and computer manufacturers (Dell, HP, Apple, etc.) have not done a good enough job of simplifying the act of sending an image to someone else, thus making it as easy for everyone to throw out the fax machine for good.
Despite my obvious preference for scanning as described above, even I must admit that sitting down at a computer, finding the scanning software, and making it all happen together with the device at hand is not as easy as it should be, with different processes, software, and things to consider. Less-comfortable computer users will often find it easier and quicker to use a dedicated device – a fax machine – to send several pages of images.
Even if the Windows and Apple operating systems got their act together, you still have the issue of the scanning device itself. Until the recent popping up of The Neat Company kiosks in airports all over the country, I haven’t seen one vendor get the device small enough, simple enough, and integrated with scanning/filing software well enough to really push scanning into the mainstream. Again, The Neat Company has done a pretty good job with this, although my impression is that their filing system is still proprietary, but their flagship desktop scanning device and system is listed at $399 on the first page of their website — a price too step for most people to consider a dedicated device. Instead most people will stick with a Brother multi-function device or similar (great machines, by the way) and that would be fine, except many of them will never figure out the scanning technology and system well enough to use it smoothly and productively.
Reason #2: Services rose up to fill in the fax -> technology gap, thus prolonging the total death of faxing technology. Efax.com, a leading online fax service provider, gives people free fax numbers and lets them receive a limited number of faxed pages per month at no cost (I use this service, in fact, as some people still want to fax me documents from time to time). For a monthly fee, Efax.com provides outbound faxing, a local phone number of your choice, etc. etc. Within corporations, IT departments have long been acquainted with fax server software made by companies such as GFI which allows for the routing of incoming faxes straight into employee e-mail boxes.
These services have kept people tolerant of the old fax-to-a-phone number approach, largely because people often send and/or receive faxes through these systems without ever touching a fax machine. The tragedy here is that money is spent on fax server software and phone lines are tied up in the transmission and receiving of faxes with this technology. Despite the obvious benefits to these services, over the long haul they will become unnecessary.
Reason #3: The move from transmitting hardcopy documents over the phone lines via faxing to the outright irrelevance of paper documents in many of our homes and companies has created something of a “leap frog” affect. Ironically, I believe one reason few companies have ever gotten serious about giving the average personal/home user an easy, consistent, and inexpensive way to scan, email, and organize paper documents on their computer is that very few things even come to us in hard copy form any more. Bank statements, newsletters, daily news, and correspondence all come to us and are available for later retrieval by us in a web browser. As a result, there almost wasn’t enough time and profit incentive for hardware and software companies to kick out fax machines for good by creating an inexpensive, easy-to-use device that could be successfully sold and marketed to millions.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this is what I believe: faxing will “die” once and for all when desktop scanners become cheap, small, and easy to use– AND when paper document flow slows to such a crawl that an email address will be more than sufficient on a business card for all professionals — even attorneys.
A look at CD to digital music conversion services
I recently looked up several different companies which allow you to mail your physical compact discs to them, and then in turn deliver the music back to you in digital form. After my wife’s hard drive crashed yet again a few months ago, erasing her digital audio collection which she manually converted on her computer, CD by CD. And so I knew we had to come up with a quicker way to convert all that music, this time, instead of manually ripping each CD ourselves. Sure, various utilities out there make the copying faster, but you still have to deal with swapping hundreds of CDs (in our case) in and out of your computer as they are copied. Additionally, we had never converted all of my CD’s, instead opting to convert a CD here or there as I wanted.
I looked at three services in detail. Each of these services consistently showed up at the top of search results for me when I searched Google using a number of phrases such as “cd to mp3 conversion” and “cd to digital audio conversion”.
Musicshifter.com boasted “as low as 69 cents per cd”, but after visiting their site one learns that the 69 cents price only applies to archive, “lossless” quality cd backups. As helpful as that service is, most people will want their cd’s converted into formats that result in file sizes small enough to load onto portable music devices, such as the Apple/iTunes proprietary AAC format, or the popular MP3 format. To get that type of STANDARD conversion done, their pricing starts at 99 cents per CD and goes up from there, depending on how quickly you want the digital files back in your hands.
RipDigital.com, another top site in Google search results, also prices their standard service at 99 cents per CD. A big negative, however, is that their 99 cent service only provides you with 192 bit audio quality, and in order to get your converted digital audio files created at a higher bit rate, you will have to pay a total of $1.19 per CD. Sadly, their “lossless” quality backup service is very pricey at $1.39 a CD. This makes it fairly expensive to order a standard digital version AND a lossless, archive version of each CD for those that might wish to do that.
PickledProductions.com was the third site that I closely evaluated. Their product offering is excellent. Although all of the services make it easy to ship your CDs to them with containers they send you, and although all of them offer insurance for the CDs you ship to them, Pickled Productions actually does all of this at the lowest price of all of them — only a 89 cents per CD conversion price, and for that price you can get the songs recorded digitally at a quality level as high as bit rate of 320! Additionally, you can have them also create a second digital copy of each CD with a second format for only 15 to 25 cents, depending on the format. This is perfect for those wanting to also secure a digital “lossless format” copy of each CD without spending twice the conversion cost as the other sites would appear to require.
So, we are moving forward with using the PickledProductions.com service as its service appears as good as the others, and its pricing clearly the lowest! (10 to 20 cents per CD savings adds up when you have several hundred CDs).
I will let you know how it turns out!
NOTE: I have found a great online converter app that shows you how many CD’s you can convert, given a certain amount of hard drive space. Click here for the link.
UPDATE, 1/5/2010: Today I placed an order on the PickledProductions.com website after briefly speaking with a sales rep on the phone. I also found out they are offering 10% off orders right now with the promo code NEW YEAR.
UPDATE, 3/4/2010: After receiving the Pickled Productions “welcome packet” about a week after my phone order, I put off organizing my cd collection for a few weeks, then finally decided to get things in order and place them on the spindles that Pickled Productions sent to me. Before sending them back, I called them and asked if I could add a second format (for only 15 cents more per cd) on my collection conversion, and they said “of course!”. After mailing them in, it took about 3-4 weeks before receiving a confirmation e-mail that the conversion was done; within a week of receiving that email the whole package– my cd’s along with the data dvd’s filled with the music, returned. I was happy to find the data dvd’s excellently organized, labeled with the artist name range on the label of each dvd, and on the dvd itself I found separate folders for each artist, and within them subfolders for each album. The song files themselves were named by the name of the song, with the artist in parentheses at the end of the song name. A very clean, organized, format to be sure. To top it all off, I received a printed, bound, printed music catalog detailing my collection, complete with color-printed cd covers along with track lists beside each one. Because I sent in my collection in alphabetical order, I am not sure whether the music data dvd’s and the printed music catalog also came alphabetical because of how I had organized them, or if Pickled Productions would have re-sorted them alphabetically anyhow. All in all, I was VERY pleased with the service and the price!
Mint.com’s Aaron Patzer: wisdom beyond his 29 years
One of the more fascinating technology stories of the year, which transcended both the software and SaaS communities, was the sale of Mint.com to Intuit (the makers of Quicken).
Mint.com was the brainchild of a 20-something named Aaron Patzer who was frustrated with the lack of a good online money management solution. The company took off, and two years and 1.7 million users later was purchased by Intuit in early November 2009.
Intuit purchased Mint.com for $170 million, which is an incredible sum — and yet, it was probably worth it for Intuit to stay the top-dog in personal financial management for the indefinite future, particularly given Microsoft’s recent announcement that they were ceasing development and future sales of MS Money. Mint.com’s momentum in the online money management space was simply too quick for Intuit’s new Quicken Online offering to compete with.
In the future, I will blog more extensively about some of the strengths and weaknesses of Mint.com’s product, as well as review the other players in the online personal money management world.
But as I have followed these recent developments with the sale of Mint.com in a variety of news sources and technology blogs, I must say that one of the most impressive aspects of the story has been the level-headedness maintained by 29-year old Aaron Patzer after selling his business for a huge amount of money–Patzer now heads up the personal finance division at Intuit. A good example of his attitude is found in his response to a question posed by a reporter in a recent NY Times article about any changes that may have occurred in his life since the sale of Mint.com and the resulting financial windfall:
Q. Have you relaxed it any since the sale?
A. My personal rule is I’m not touching anything I got from the acquisition. I’m just going to continue to live off of my income. I’ve relaxed my budget on travel and hotels just so I can do a little more exotic travel. I’m going to New Zealand this Christmas and I’m very excited about that. I relaxed my grocery budget so I can shop at Whole Foods instead of Safeway.
His maturity and humility are no doubt the same characteristics that led to the growth of Mint.com to start with.
Popular technology blog TechCrunch published Aaron’s account of the building of Mint.com, and the article included this description, by Aaron, of the early days:
Mint was built in the Silicon Valley way. It started in my apartment, with Matt Snider and Poornima Vijayashanker. We interviewed the first real “professional,” our VP of Engineering, David Michaels in our kitchen.
Most astounding of all is the fact that this was only 2 short years ago! Surely these humble beginnings, and the quick and rapid rise of his company with little time for him to get comfortable and relax, has aided in the preservation of his humility today.
Instead, in his new role now at Intuit he “wants to keep pushing online, as well as mobile, desktop apps, and international (which is hard to do in finance with a 38-person startup)”, according to another TechCrunch article.
ALL of us can learn from the lack of emphasis he is putting on his new-found wealth and his focus instead on continued excellence and leadership in his work.
The most important screen on Facebook
1/25/2010 Update: Since this original post, Facebook has made a good deal of changes to its security settings. The New York Times wrote a great article on how to check the important Facebook security settings now. Click here to read their article.
Most people do not realize that by default, Facebook shows a decent amount of information to individuals who search for, and find your profile on Facebook. By default, this includes your profile picture, your friend list, links to add you as a friend or send a message, and pages of which you are a fan.
To change these settings, hover over the “Settings” label on right side of the blue banner at the top of the screen in Facebook, and choose “Privacy Settings” from the dropdown menu under settings. THEN click on “Search” to tweak search-related settings. That will take you to the screen as partially shown below, where you can make changes as you wish.
You can also limit your search visibility altogether with the dropdown field labeled accordingly.
Many people sign up on Facebook without realizing anyone visiting the website can search for them and see some information about them. The idea that all information in Facebook is visible only to your friends is not entirely accurate; some information is visible to non-”friends” who search for your proile, as controlled by the settings on this screen.
I hope this is helpful to those Facebook users out there, like me, who prefer for the site to be a private community for friends and doesn’t want most of their information publicly visible to individuals on the Internet who may find me.
More than 23 Google Android phones here, or in the works!
This posting is by way of follow-up to my recent post, “Real competition for the iPhone?”, which talked about the ‘Droid’ phone rumored to be released by Verizon very, very soon. Their device would be probably the most-hyped release of an Android phone yet.
But today I wanted to point out that popular technology site TechCrunch currently lists TWENTY-THREE, yes that’s 23 different phones either currently available, to be available soon, or rumored to be revealed soon, all which will operate on the Google Android operating system. Note also that all of the major carriers (T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T) are represented by this list of phones, and some of them tied to multiple of these devices.
Imagine your choice of cell carrier and choosing between several phones, all which run the same applications! This is truly going to be a significant threat to Apple’s iPhone… and of course to AT&T which as you know is currently the only carrier which sells the iPhone. But you will also notice that at least one of these Android phones will work on the AT&T network as well.
