“Built on the year-old HTML5 Gmail web app for the iPhone, the Gmail for iPad sports a double column display and looks great with whole threads unfurled. “Tablets like the iPad give us even more room to innovate,” the Gmail team said today.”
Looks great.
Dragon Dictation, the popular (and great) text to speech utility for iPhone, has just been updated to an iPad compatible (universal) version. The iPad version obviously takes advantage of the new screen, but it’s basically a raw port of the iPhone one. Available for free here, check out the screenshots after the break.
Available for free here, it’s a 18MB download. As we previously heard, Winnie the Pooh iBook is built in in. We’ve embedded the cover below, as seen from the application’s Resources.
“Find My iPad has the same features as Find My iPhone, including playing the little sonar sound effect with an onscreen message (in case your iPad falls behind the couch or something). Find My iPad also includes the same Remote Wipe feature as Find My iPhone – so if your iPad is irretrievably lost, you can remotely vaporize all the data on it, thus ensuring that thieves don’t get access to your contacts, credit card info, or embarrassing lolcat pictures in addition to your iPad”
They’re out, they’re here. You know what to do.
See you on the other side on Saturday, with our first iPad reviews.
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.
Latest post from Lukas Mathis:
“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.
