Companies found that most people did not want someone on the other end of the line they could not understand. Seems you are more likely to get someone who at least sounds like they are American

There was an Australian documentary that showed people in India learning to act and sound American so they could work at a call center. They were taught about American culture including things like baseball, American holidays etc. It was disturbing in a way.

However, I see a few problems that I don't think they'll be able to iron out.

Second, there are all the organizations that rely on secrecy. The Pentagon, for example, is not going to allow all its sensitive data to be intercepted during upload or copied from a server farm in another country. Hedge funds aren't going to release their plans somewhere where a guessed password loses them their advantage.

John,
I saw this article and it reminded me of the discussion here...
"At a press event at its headquarters this morning, Google announced Google Apps for Government-a new version of its Google Apps productivity suite that's been certified by the US government as meeting its security requirements."

Of course this is limited to a "moderate" security rating, but steps like this gradually sway the collective minds of it's users who will start to want the same tools for even more classified data.

Of course also separate jpg.
The examples in the video are cbr and cbz files.
The only drawback is that you have to use itunes for file transfer.

I'm waiting for a somewhat larger screensize and TOTALLY non-proprietary file & reading program loading.
Peace,

Maybe all the PC type iPad imitators will have a bigger screen size.
