Beyonce Portrait Painted with Brushes for iPad [Video]

Remember the most impressive Brushes speed painting you’ve ever seen? Well, this one is pretty good too. Kyle Lambert, the author, says:

“My artwork combines traditional painting techniques with cutting edge technology to produce rich, realistic portraits and character based concepts and designs. The iPad expands the possibilities for artists like myself to take digital artwork creation away from the computer and out into the world.”

My Newspaper: Your Own Google Reader Newsstand

So, reading on the iPad. The iPad is the perfect device to read, and we said it many times before. You’ve probably grown tired of hearing this story. The thing is, the device is so young and the opportunities in the App Store so big we can’t help but telling this story every time a new app comes out. And if the app is about catching up with news posted on your favorite blogs, I think you can understand us.

My Newspaper offers a new, fresh take on Google Reader, tailored to users who don’t need to refresh G. Reader every 2 minutes but want to sit down and enjoy some good content instead.

PadSync: Your Central Hub for iPad & iPhone Sync

The iPad introduced support for document sync across your computer and apps on the device using iTunes as a platform to communicate between databases (Pages, Numbers, GoodReader etc.) and the files on your computer. The process is slow and very un-Apple in my opinion, considering that you have to plug in the device, fire up iTunes (which is slow), wait for an initial sync, move to the Apps tab, choose the app, drag & drop and then sync again.

Also, there’s no sync between documents: iTunes doesn’t automatically replace files on your Mac with the you edited on your iPad, it just copies them. You can’t carry along the same document and hope for some kind of sync, though that would be great and it’s certainly coming to MobileMe or iWork.com sometimes in the future.

So, we’re stuck with drag & drop in iTunes. Fortunately for us, there are some 3rd party applications that are coming out and promise to change the way you move documents between your desktop and tablet (and iPhone, too) and today I’m taking a look at one of them, PadSync.

YX Player Gives your iPad FLV, AVI Video Playback

The iPad is great for watching video, but it doesn’t support various formats like Divx, Xvid, or WMV. That is, until now – YX Player for the iPad allows you to playback unsupported video formats. The app has quite a few features, namely the ability to transfer said videos directly to your iPad for playback straight from your desktop. But as App Advice noticed, it gets much more powerful with some of its online capabilities.
