smartNote for iPad: A Notebook for your Fingers

One thing people want to achieve with the iPad is the freedom to take notes wherever they are, whether it be for class, business, or play. There’s going to be a lot of stiff competition in this area as developers try to feel out what works and what doesn’t, but smartNote for the iPad looks promising. It reminds me of a mix between Thoughts and Circus Ponies Notebook for the Mac.

Be sure to check out the video with some sweet music by Matt and Kim after the break.

Mossberg on the iPad

“My verdict is that, while it has compromises and drawbacks, the iPad can indeed replace a laptop for most data communication, content consumption and even limited content creation, a lot of the time. But it all depends on how you use your computer.”

Preview: Globetrotters for iPad, And Let the Party Games Begin

Party games weren’t that huge of a success on the iPhone. Wait, were there party games on the iPhone at all?

The iPhone wasn’t (isn’t) exactly the best fit for party games, but things are gonna change with the iPad. Thanks to the bigger screen (yes, once again) some developers thought that it would have been interesting to step into the unexplored land of local multiplayer and offer users the possibility to touch things on screen - together.

Globetrotters is the first games we’ve just stumbled upon, it features (what they seem) nice graphics and allows you to play with 3 other friends on the same device. From what we can see right now, you basically have to jump from a planet to another and collect some colored stars to win. Sorta. But anyway, the thing is - party games are now possible. Too bad I won’t have 3 other friends with an iPad to test Globetrotters, because it looks good. Take a look at the screenies after the jump.

Preview: Yellow Pages for iPad

I did see this coming. Already available on the iPhone, the Yellow Pages app can surely make a great use of the additional screen real estate, thus providing a far better experience for the user. Look at the tab bar though: 10 icons. Couldn’t it just use popovers instead of all those tabs? We’ll see. Until that day, take a look at the screenshots below.

iVerse Comics Shows How In-App Purchase Will Look Like On the iPad

We know the iPad is going to change many things, but reading is no doubt the experience that will undergo the most significant changes thanks to Apple’s new product. We have this large screen, we have iBooks..but what about comics? We heard Panelfly was working on the iPad version of its popular application, but today we’ve found a video of an alternative to Panelfly, iVerse Comics, which is noteworthy.

Thing is, this video of iVersa gives us a glimpse of what in-app purchase looks like on the iPad and you can see, the guys have basically embedded the App Store interface right inside the application. Coverflow and all, it’s there. You can sort comics with a popover on the left, swipe and slide to see what’s hot, purchase. Modal windows everywhere, it seems like it will be a real pleasure to spend money just to buy the latest issue of Star Trek.

We’ve embedded the video below. We can’t wait to see more.
