Jubilee for iPad: Remember Birthdays, Send a Card! Review and Giveaway!
In the digital era, remembering birthdays and sending a card shouldn’t be a pain in the butt. After all, if you’re not one to consistently refresh Facebook, you may feel awkward leaving a wall-post a week later saying, “Happy belated birthday dude!” And I do that quite often. But hell, I’m connected! And birthday’s should be easier and more personal than Facebook tracking and a wall-post. So what does one use to manage these important events? Why, Jubilee of course.
Mercedes-Benz Dealers Will Use the iPad As a Sales Tool
With 2 million units already sold in less than 60 days, it’s no surprise that companies are starting to look at Apple’s new toy with some sort of interest. Mercedes Benz, the popular automaker, will indeed start to use the iPad as a sales tool to bring a better experience for customers in its showrooms.
Build Your Own Newspaper with The Early Edition for iPad. Review and Giveaway!
It is common understanding that the iPad is the perfect reading device. Whether it’s about long reading sessions (iBooks, Kindle app) or news reading (Pulse, Instapaper, the upcoming Reeder for iPad) the iPad is proving itself to be just great when it comes to sit down and read. Books and iBookstore aside, what we’re seeing today is a slow shift away from typical RSS applications, and even if some great software is coming our way in the future weeks, developers are focusing on finding new solutions to let users catch up with the latest news. Pulse, which we reviewed here, is a good example: a customizable visual news reading app that lets you pick up your own sources and browse news in a visual way that no one has ever accomplished before, not on the iPhone OS platform at least.
The idea of enabling readers to choose their own way to stay updated with what’s going on isn’t new, but sure the iPad is helping in implementing this idea and turn it into great software. The Early Edition from Glasshouse Apps has just been updated to 1.1 version, and it’s about time to talk about this app, which allows you to create your personalized daily newspaper within a great looking interface.
Create 8-Bit Masterpieces with Sprite Something for iPad
If you’ve ever wanted to create those perfect 8-Bit sprites on your iPad, there’s an app for that. Ars Technica reviewed Sprite Something for the iPad, which allows young pixel lovers such as yourself to square off with your magical handheld. Apple and retro were practically made for each other, and Ars Technica agrees.
Pixel art is a finicky mistress: it’s difficult, time-consuming, and can be highly frustrating. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if it’s your thing, taking work along with you on an iPad is pretty awesome.
You can check out the full review here, but don’t forget to visit the iTunes App Store and grab your own copy of Sprite Something for only $2.99. A bargain for pixel pushers if you ask me.
Take Control Of Your Google Account with G-Whizz for iPad (and iPhone)
If you’re following me on Twitter, you may’ve noticed that last week I decided to start moving my workflow to the cloud, taking advantage of all the services Google has to offer. Up until 5 days ago I was a proud user of Gmail and Google Reader, but I never really considered using all those other apps such as Docs, Buzz and Talk. Not to mention Location services, Calendar and Tasks.
First Look: Netvibes for iPad
I don’t know how many people are still using Netvibes, but I’ve always been interested in trying out the service. And it turns out that maybe I’ll be able to do it this week, when the company will launch a first beta of their iPad optimized website.
Chronicle, A Journal for your iPad
Lots of journal & note taking applications have landed in the iTunes App Store for the iPad, and the basic decision usually comes down to, “What’s your style?” Some like the moleskine or leather bound look, other’s like the spiral notebook, but I always try to pick out something that has one or two differentiating features. For Chronicle, it was Google Docs syncing, note annotations, and privacy lock.
iPad in China? It’s Called “iPed” And Runs Android
What about Chinese rip-offs? Most of the times they come with silly fake names and they suck. But what about a Chinese rip-off that is called “iPed” and runs Google’s Android?
