Ego for iPad: With More Pixels, You’re More Important
You have a blog, and you know that keeping an eye on stats is important. You track visits and unique visitors, but you’ve gotten used to monitor outbound links, referrers and landing pages, because you also know that details are important. You track your Twitter followers, RSS subscribers and Vimeo play counts. Sometimes you wish you could track who follows and unfollows you every day, oh wait - you’ve installed Birdbrain on your iPhone for that. You’re a web analytics junkie. You can’t wait to wake up in the morning to see if someone on the Internet is talking about you, just to see if your latest post has turned out to be that success you expected.
Your most loved iPhone application is Ego. And now you can have it on the iPad as well.
Magical Device: The First iPad Marriage Proposal
Steve Jobs told us the iPad was magical, and it turns out that many people took that words really seriously. TechCrunch reader Zach Iniguez used his new iPad to ask her girlfriend to marry him, in the same spot he asker her out 2 years ago. We’ve heard of many other “Apple-related” marriage proposals before, but this is one stands out for the “implementation”.
Really, take a look at the original email from Zach below.
“Hi TechCrunch,
I’m a huge fan of your blog and read it every day, and I thought you might be interested in this. This weekend I brought my girlfriend to a local ice cream shop where we had our first date. I also brought along my iPad, since I wanted to “field test” it, as I told her. We sat outside on the same bench we had 2 1/2 years ago, and I asked her to put on earphones. I then handed her the iPad and played a slideshow with music and photos of the two of us together, with a message at the end: “will you marry me?” I got down on one knee and proposed, and fortunately she said yes. Maybe Steve Jobs was right–the iPad is magical!
Thanks for providing me with years of news and entertainment.
Zach”
Oh by the way, she said yes.
TouchPad for the iPad. A Giant Mac Trackpad. Review & Giveaway!
You know it had to happen. We’ve already reviewed Edovia’s TouchPad for the iPhone and iPod touch, but now it’s back and better than ever in high def for Apple’s very own Moses Tablet (quoting @patrickrhone). If you’ve ever wanted a touchpad the size of a dinner plate, strap in, because I’m about to blow your mind.
Issuu Updated for HTML5 iPad Reading
Issuu, the popular website that allows you to upload any kind of document and make a magazine out of it, has been updated for the iPad.
Instead of displaying content in Flash, now there’s a fallback in HTML5 for Apple’s new device, together with a nice interface that fits the iPad screen. Take a look at the screenshot beyond the break.
Omnifocus for iPad, Coming This June
With a post on the official company blog, the Omnigroup has announced the roadmap for all their other Mac applications which are being ported to the iPad.
Omnifocus, surely one of the most popular apps from the Omni guys, is coming in less than two months:
“We’re currently working on OmniFocus and OmniOutliner in parallel. OmniFocus has a bit of a head start, thanks to the work we’d already done in bringing it to iPhone, so we anticipate its iPad app will be ready in June. OmniOutliner is a little further out, and our current projection is that it will ship this summer. Finally, after we’ve shipped those four apps, we’ll round out the set with OmniPlan for iPad which we’re currently anticipating will ship sometime this fall.”
Great news. We’ll take a look at it as soon as possible.
CourseNotes, The Student’s iPad Companion. Review and Giveaway!
The idea of using the iPad as a tool in school is an interesting prospect. On one had the tablet form factor of the iPad allows it to be used like an open notebook - the screen is suitable for writing text and taking notes. However, Apple has nearly killed that idea without the option for a stylus, and unless you happen to love sausage or ill-reviewed Pogo Stylus, it ain’t happenin’. While we have a keyboard, what student wants to type on a virtual keyboard? My whole success to taking notes via Evernote on my laptop is because I can furiously type on my Macbook’s keyboard without ere - eyes fixated on the instructor and not on the screen. But the idea is still intriguing: how well does the iPad fair as a note taking device? For this review, I’ll be using an application called CourseNotes. Read more
NetNewsWire for iPad, Reviewed
I’ve been a NetNewsWire user for a long time. It’s my default RSS app on Mac OS X, and I downloaded the iPhone one with a lot of excitement the same day it was released in the App Store. Sadly, for as much as I love the Mac iteration of NNW (seriously, there’s no better app - yet) I was very disappointed by the iPhone counterpart of Brent Simmons’ app. It was slow, sluggish and, also, it didn’t look nice as I expected. I was so disappointed it that I uninstalled and never installed back again on my iPhone.
For this reason, and because I’m always hoping things may eventually change, I approached NetNewsWire for iPad with a lot of caution. I mean, it comes at 10 bucks, and it will soon go up to 15. It’s a considerable expense, and I didn’t want to be disappointed again like it happened before.
Fortunately NetNewsWire for iPad is a good application, a great first version, which I’m sure many people out there are already loving. I’ve been testing it for over a week now, let’s see what it looks like.
Alice for iPad, Redefining Digital Books
Who said books on the iPad are lame? No seriously, because after this one you’ll have to fire up your credit card and buy this book in the App Store. Perhaps you’ve already heard about it in the past few days, but we’ve had the chance to put our hands on a copy of Alice for iPad, a recently released book which runs on the iPad but it’s not available in iBooks.
