Free in the App Store, I really don’t understand the UI choices. Welcome on board Amazon, anyway.

Find My iPad Comes to MobileMe
“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”

Auditorium for iPad: Most Beautiful Notes Taking App Yet?
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.
iPad Springboard Breaks Spatiality
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.
