An Overview of GoodReader for iPad

An Overview of GoodReader for iPad, article.
Ultimately, Good Reader is an application that can pull most every kind of file from the Internet and store it into its database. You can read, but you can’t create.

The overview missed two of the most useful features of Goodreader:
1. You can read, and you CAN create. But only text files. The ability to edit text files is a very important part of this app.
2. The WiFi button on the bottom is not just a web server. You can mount the Goodreader file space as a disk on your Mac. Yes, over WiFi. Once you do that, you can use the Finder to do anything you want to the files and folders inside. Much more powerful than the web interface.

It's not a device for geeks, it's a device to re-enable centenarian ladies with failing eyesight:

Thank you very much. Did you add that to his site too?

The iPad is not a netbook either, but one analyst (Katy Huberty at Morgan Stanley) thinks booming sales of the device are killing netbook sales:

Looks like this news will drive down the Apple stock price again!

Not sure what you mean, this sounds like success to me: their product rapidly gained market share.
