TidBITS#1027/10-May-2010
========================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1027>

  Books, email, and iPads, oh my! Our articles cover the gamut this
  week, starting with Apple's announcement of iPad availability and
  pricing in a variety of countries. We're also pleased to announce
  the release of ebooks about Apple Mail on the Mac, managing spam
  with Apple Mail, and the Mail app on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod
  touch. Elsewhere in this issue, Glenn Fleishman takes a long look at
  reading books on the iPad and covers the new Eye-Fi Geo X2 Wi-Fi SD
  card, Mark Anbinder examines Bento for iPad, and Adam reports on a
  new plug-in for Gmail that provides social networking details for
  email correspondents. Finally, if you want to peruse the past, we
  note the reappearance of nearly all the old Info-Mac Digests from
  yesteryear. Notable software releases this week include MarsEdit
  3.0, Aperture 3.0.3, Typinator 4.0, Mac Pro Audio Update 1.1, Epson
  Printer Drivers 2.3.1 for Mac OS X 10.6, and Phone Amego 1.1.20.
