The Bjango guys make beautiful apps, and that’s a given. We’ve just found out that Phases, the neat app already available on the iPhone that shows you all kinds of information about the moon, is now available in the iPad App Store, with an HD moniker and priced at $1.99.
The new version looks great and brings all the features you know from the iPhone version onto the iPad. Screenshots available after the break.
Developed by App-Apps.com, Auditorium is a new application to take notes and organize meetings and lectures in one single, convenient place. You can create folders, “record” events, share items with your collaborators. But most of all, it’s beautiful. From the leather background in the sidebar, to the custom designed top bar, the developers have put a lot of attention to the details. Auditorium is currently awaiting Apple’s approval, we’ll keep you posted about it. We’ve got two screenshots of the app, be sure to check them out.

“Let’s say you want to open the App Store on your iPad, and you know that you’ve put this icon at the bottom right of your apps. Turning the iPad shuffles the positions of your icons. The App Store now suddenly jumps to the middle of the second row.
While rewrapping is fine for text, it’s not okay for things the user has intentionally arranged in a specific way. Instead, Apple should make sure that the arrangement is preserved. Since there is so much space between individual applications, this could possibly be achieved without shrinking the actual icons, simply by moving them closer to each other.”
An interesting point.

“iPad features Safari, a mobile web browser that supports the latest web standards — including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Here are just a few of the sites that take advantage of these web standards to deliver content that looks and functions beautifully on iPad.”

Two days ago we previewed DashApp for iPad, an upcoming application that should enable you to view multiple websites at once, as if they’re widgets. Turns out there’s a similar application already approved by Apple, it’s called “Sites” and it’s got a lot of features that could make it the worst enemy of DashApp.
So we haven’t got a weather widget on the iPad. Fine, I guess it’s just up to 3rd party developers to come up with their solutions to let users check the weather on their iPads, and Weather HD from Vimov takes a complete new approach, which may appeal a lot of people.
I’ve been a huge fan of Labyrinth 2 for iPhone, and now I guess I will on the iPad as well. Illusion Labs’ application has just been approved into the iPad App Store and, like many others, it sports a “HD” moniker to differentiate it from its iPhone counterpart.
While we’re still waiting for IM+ to be approved and pop up in the App Store, AIM for iPad by AOL is ready and free in the App Store. It supports geo location, Facebook updates and chat, MySpace, Twitter, Youtube, Foursquare and many others.
