Day 2 and 3 with my tablet

It was a busy two days at work so I did not have that much time with my tablet. Since we are getting to know each other, I will start to call the tablet by its name, xoom.

Last night I used xoom to book a rental car from hotwire.com. This was done via the browser and since I have been on that site before it was pretty easy and worked as it would from a pc. Afterwards I spent a little time on Youtube via the app. The app is quite sluggish and often I am waiting for videos to load. I don't have a really fast connection but the wait was still longer that I expected. I only watched about 15 minutes but this took almost 30.

Writting blogs with the keyboard and mouse are great. I like the keyboard but wish it had a little tilt to it.  Xoom is great for reading so I fired up Google Currents and organized my library. Currents is like a magazine store. You can leaf through the topics by swiping and the app also has nice share features.

The first issue I had was yesterday when I wanted to check on my credit card account. I have an app and the first it asks is for user and password. I do not use the same password for apps so I had no idea what the password was. I save my passwords in an app on my pc. I was not able to login. I think I may look for a good password app for xoom. I just don't want to maintain two places to store passwords, so I need an app that I can use on both pc and android.

Thanks for reading,
Scott
