		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re right in the midst of a possible rift in the way smart devices function and act, ladies and gentlemen, and though the functionality has been there for some time, it is Apple that&#8217;s brought the idea that the smartphone should be your assistant rather than just your tool for communicating to the forefront.

<em><strong>Editor’s Note: </strong>This is a guest post by (<a href="http://twitter.com/#!/msuster">@msuster</a>) Mark Suster, a 2x entrepreneur, now VC at <a href="http://www.grppartners.com">GRP Partners</a>. Read more about Suster at </em><em><a href="http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/">Bothsidesofthetable</a></em>

Later today I'll be giving a keynote at the VCJ Venture Alpha conference here in San Francisco. I was asked to speak about the topic of "what is going on in the venture capital world and what is the next big thing after social networking?"

Tough topic but I have some views. I thought you might enjoy reading the presentation before even others see it!  It is pretty self explanatory.  Presentation is after the jump.]]></description>

Today the online retailer extended its <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Trade-In/b?ie=UTF8&#38;node=2242532011">Trade-In program</a> to cover Kindles and other e-readers. Trading in a Kindle should net you anywhere from $25 to $135 depending on the model and the device's condition. 

After entering your old e-reader into the system, Amazon will award you with a gift card for the value of your device. And if you're about to toss your old Kindle in the garbage over shipping costs, think again &#8212; Amazon offers free shipping.]]></description>
