Next to Evernote, Dropbox is one of my favorite web-based, cross platform tools. Now that they have added an iPhone app this productivity tool has gotten even better. Now in addition to accessing my files from my Windows, Linux, or OSX I can access my files on go on my iPhone.
If you are not familiar with Dropbox, Tyler Wall and I have written about it several times before on easierway.ca blog:

Facebook: The New Classroom Commons? – The Chronicle Review – The Chronicle of Higher Education via kwout
It is very unfortunate that Harriet L. Schwartz’s, assistant professor of professional leadership at Carlow University, post in the Chronicle of Higher Education is only accessible through a paid subscription because she makes a very well reasoned argument for using facebook in the learning environment. Its where your learners are–and most everyone else.
When my 60 something sister, my wifes 70 something parents and all just about everyone else I know is “friending” me in Facebook I guess I too will have to move from being a passive intermittent user of Facebook and meeting my social network where they are at.
Reminder to self — do not renew Chronicle of Higher Education subscription–this content should be free.

To be fair to Microsoft this is much more than just a tablet. There are some exceptional features and some questionable ones.
