Wired has released its first magazine app for the iPad. Available at $4.99 in the App Store, the application is very nice, has a lot of interactive content and enables users to jump back and forth between the different sections of the magazines. There are some great touches like animated 360 images, vertical stacks to organize content and music to enhance the reading experience. Overall, it’s a great app.

TypeSaver for iPad: When Typography Meets Famous Words
We’ve been talking a lot about the iPad as a digital frame for your photos, music, news and tweets. It could be a frame for anything, if you want. What about words? Yeah, like those cool slideshows of words from popular people that say shit about life. Got the idea?
Now, think about an iPad app that mixes words, great typography and Sh*t My Dad Says together with Obama and you get the hang of this awesome thing called TypeSaver.
Snes HD, An iPhone Controlled Real Snes for iPad
Snes HD is a new Super Nintendo emulator available in Cydia that is based on ZodTTD’s snes4iphone but it’s optimized for the iPad. The app allows you to browse games in split view mode and shows a “real” US Snes on the right, where you can even see the cartridge and the name of the connected player.
Indeed you can connect to the emulator by using the My ControlPad app for iPhone (also available in Cydia) which lets you use the iPhone as a remote Snes controller. It’s one of the coolest thing you could ever have with a jailbroken iPad.
The emulation is smooth and fast, you can trigger autosaving features and smooth scaling, even though I found the non-scaled version absolutely enjoyable. All this goodness is available in Cydia at this repo: http://wherethewoozlewasnt.com/cydia.
Check out the screenshots after the break.
Google TV and iPad Share The Same Graphics Processor
Seth Weintraub over at Fortune:
“GoogleTV is manufactured by Logitech and Sony and contains a System on Chip (SoC) designed by Intel. The iPad’s SoC is an ARM design made by Apple (though manufacturing is outsourced to Samsung). However, both of these SoCs use a PowerVR graphics processor from a small UK-based company called Imagination.
Not surprisingly, Apple (9.5%) and Intel (16.02%) both own significant stakes in Imagination.”
And that’s it for Google TV coverage on MacStories.
The Motorized iPad Lego Stand
My good friend @toxinide has built something great: a motorized iPad stand made of Lego.
It’s awesome, check out the video after the break. And be careful when you let it wander around.
Air Display Makes The iPad An Additional Display For Your Mac
Air Sharing is one of the best apps I have on the iPhone and iPad, and it’s become a such important part of my daily workflow that I can’t imagine working without it anymore. The guys over at Avatron surely did a great job in building an app that, no matter how deep you delve into it, it’s user friendly, easy to approach yet powerful and highly customizable. But Avatron is not only Air Sharing HD, at least not anymore: they’ve been working on this new application called Air Display for a while now, and we’ve taken it for a spin after its approval late last night in the App Store.
Is Air Display really worthy?
iPad Jailbreak Goes Mainstream on “Attack of the Show”
Spirit keeps getting popular and it goes mainstream. How long before Steve writes his Thoughts on Spirit?
That would be a great headline.
iPads Already Arriving to Italy
Call it an error or just a huge amount of luck, some Italian users are already receiving their iPads. iPadevice’s reader Ricky has got his iPad, and has also posted a video of the unboxing which shows the European plug - it’s legit.
We heard that Apple is using UPS Saver as shipment option for European devices, which is a faster service than the US one. Maybe that’s why iPads alre already showing up. More importantly, the good news is Apple isn’t blocking shipments like they did for American customers.
Check out the video after the break.
PhotoForge, Finger Safe Photo Editing. Review and Giveaway!
Editing photos on the iPad should be a pretty big thing. After all, it eliminates the need to carry a 4.5LB laptop, and the iPad’s screen offers a great editing interface over that of a netbook. While it’s debatable whether your smudgy fingers can make more accurate changes than a good ol’ fashioned Wacom pen or even the mighty mouse, I’d have to say the iPad is perfect for quick edits on the go. Today, we’ll be looking at PhotoForge, an iPad app specifically designed to mark up fussy photos.
