Currently the 10th Top Grossing iPad application on the App Store, LogMeIn Ignition always seems to spark a bit of curiosity with iPad owners. For $30, what exactly are you getting with your remote application? I spent some time at home and in the real world testing LogMeIn Ignition for the past couple of weeks, and I have to say I’m pleasantly impressed with the quality of LogMeIn’s application, and I think it’s just about perfect for anyone who needs to access their desktop computer while mobile.

Notekeeper: Location-aware Notepad for iPhone
Many times in the past I’ve written about the apps and tools I use in my MacStories workflow. If you’ve been following MacStories for a while now, then you must know that I’m an avid Simplenote user. It’s simple, it syncs over the air, it’s available on the iPad and the next version will rock. I’m telling you.
But anyway, that’s the not the point. I’ve tried many note-taking applications over the years, and I’ve decided to stick with Simplenote because it just works. But not everyone needs to do what I have to do with notes (portability, plain text, multiple devices, reliable backend) so it’s very likely that you don’t really care about cloud, dashboard widget for desktop publishing and such.
I know you’re running other note apps on your iPhones and iPads - so why don’t give a try to Notekeeper?

Your only concern is that you always forget what to do. If so, take a look at Random Accident’s first iPad app, Today’s List.
Kindle for iPad Gets Dictionary Update, Wikipedia & Google
The Kindle itself may have gotten a $139 update that makes it an affordable competitor to the iPad, though we image you may not have an interest in the new e-reader. iPad converts can find the Kindle app on their device with the same material available as its plastic counterpart, and it’s gotten a nice update that can make your reading experience even more pleasurable.

Steve Ballmer Disappointed at iPad Sales
After a decade of selling tablets, Microsoft and supporting PC manufacturers never had a runaway hit as Apple did with the iPad. It must sting a little, and Ballmer is disappointed at the results. His competitor has caught up.
Apple Hiring To Work on Revolutionary OS X Feature
We don’t know what the Mac OS X gang is working on down at Cupertino, but they’re looking to hire a young expert (maybe such as yourselves) who have lots of experience in the Objective-C, HTTP Protocols, and everything else on top of that. If you’re thinking cloud computing, you’ve read my mind.
