Sharpen Your Business Skills With Your iPad
By Steve Overton, September 1, 2010
A day or so ago I wrote a post about AppShopper and how your can scoop up some great apps for discounts. Well I came across this one today and felt it was such a good deal I had to let people know about it. It has been selling for $39.99 in the iTunes store and is free until September 7th.
This is an educational app that is a professional level business app for managers to learn financial concepts and "provides a complete overview of the key financial topics every manager needs to effectively manage their organization’s assets".
It includes a course book, flash cards, and comprehensive tests to help you learn and retain the information.
Quick Look: ESPN Pinball HD

I have always been a bit of a Pinball Wizard. Something about the lights and sounds as that tiny metal ball goes pinging off the obstacles, racking up points. It always seemed a bit magical to me. As the digital age dawned, my love of pinball jumped with me to my laptop, as I discovered the fantastic pinball app which used to come prepackaged with Microsoft Windows Plus, among others. Now, pinball has made its way to the iPad with ESPN’s sport’s themed (would you expect anything less) pinball app.
New iPod touch has cameras, Facetime
By Jim Karpen, September 1, 2010

Some of the biggest news today at the Apple event today was the new iPod touch. It was hardly a surprise, since everyone had pretty much guessed the new features. Still, it's fun to see Apple always moving ahead. As expected, it has a camera (including HD video), a front-facing camera for videoconferencing, the FaceTime software first offered in iPhone 4, and the new and very impressive 960 x 640 retina display. The new iPod touch starts at $229 for the 8GB model. It's amazing how far this device has come.
What Steve DIDN'T say at the iOS event
By Todd Bernhard, September 1, 2010
If you're like me, you watched today's Apple event and paid a great deal of attention to what Steve Jobs said. And to what he didn't say.
Steve said that 'everything' is coming to iPad in 4.2 later this year and then he specifically mentioned 'HDR Photos'... so, did he foreshadow a camera for the iPad? It's already overdue and now that the iPod touch has two cameras, it's LONG overdue. Remember, this is Apple's most expensive iOS device.
Truphone flattens the earth!
By John Painter, September 1, 2010
It's official Truphone has cut rates in half to $12.95 month for it's Truphone Unlimited app http://bit.ly/bMI56K service. Basically this turns my iPad 3G/WIFI into a heavy duty business machine writing reports, scheduling, e-mail, and now very low-cost phone. I don't know how they do it, but they must have been reading Thomas Freedman and realized that the world is flat, and have passed it along to the rest of us.

A Whole Lot of Tweeting Going On?
By Brittany Irvine, August 31, 2010
Topics:
Its simple to see some of these newer apps on the rise but some of the most important ones are whats most popular; not just new. Social Networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and other blogging websites alone are all popular amongst not only the younger age group; however every single group of ages! Companies are now using Twitter as well as Facebook to promote and advertise and we see it more and more everywhere we turn. Specifically, Twitter seems to be on more of a rise since its launch. The 140 character limit on a "tweet" seems to allow for more of a quick and to the point message to send to all of its followers.
iCrystal Dock... The Coolest Dock in Town!
By Nate Adcock, August 30, 2010

Decent audio dock components (ones that don't cost a fortune, but produce a good sound) for iPod (only iPod...correction posted) are pretty common now, but finding one that looks totally cool doing it is always a bonus. This year, I checked out quite a few audio-related components for iPhone, and iPod (starting back in January at CES). The iCrystal is one of my favorites in this category of dock for iPod. It plays music, it charges, and it looks totally awesome in the process...
