I really wonder why no ones mentions typography. In terms of great typesetting the Kindle is somewhere in the 60's. Since at least LaTEX (not talking about Adobe and Apple products) ligatures and other niceties found their way into computers. Any by all means - this is a dedicated reading-machine!
I still love my Kindle, mainly for jgrahamc's reasons.
I'd say - it doesn't matter. As a person who faced the same choice two years ago, I went with RoR. Mostly because of the bigger community around it.
By now I mostly consider it great because it is basically a best-practise sharing example. Any of these frameworks expose you to currently brewing technologies - and that helped me a lot along the way.
To get a frequently updated version set a recipe up at http://readbeam.com. It's easy, just did this with TechCrunch and it worked nicely. (This functionality is still in beta but is expected to be released end of this week)
So I get all the feed articles mailed right on my Kindle every day at 6 am and 6 pm (0 6,18 * * *).
I am using GoDaddy for m throw-away domains and regfish.com for more specialized TLDs. Regfish has a great, personal service, is based in Germany (how about that for a change ;-) and has decent prices. Great UI, lot less slack than GoDaddy.
Hope that finally makes them wake up to the new world! Nokia is one of the poster childs of a successful corporate giant missing the famous 'clue train' completely. Would like to see some really open handsets/mobile OSses to boot.
Concerning the location data I have configured it to be exact to around 100m (kCLLocationAccuracyHundredMeters) which in my experience is easily achieved.
Maybe the use a misplaced skyhook WLAN to achieve that result?
