The Vent is slim, good-looking and doesn't get in your way
By Cindy Downes, September 5, 2010

If you prefer the slim-to-none look in iPhone cases, but need a better grip, check out the Vent Gel Case.
It’s form fitting and made of soft, non-slip silicone, so it provides a nice grip without getting in the way.

XtremeMac Duo and XtremeMac Auto for iPad

I love the XtremeMac line of products. I carry my iPad around in the XtremeMac Nylon Sleeve, which is sturdy, lightweight and protects my iPad extremely well.
Now, I’m using two more XtremeMac products: the InCharge Duo and InCharge Auto for iPad. These are both quality products and, better yet, they make my life simpler!
32 iPad competitors coming
By Jim Karpen, September 4, 2010

If there's any doubt that the iPad is a hit, that can be assuaged by looking at the number of iPad-like competitors hitting the market. Technologizer has posted a list, with images, of 32 "iPadversaries." The most astonishing is the Toshiba Libretto W100. It actually has two screens joined by a hinge. You can perch it like a laptop, and one of the screens becomes a keyboard. Just think, a year ago this market didn't exist, and now it's exploding with creativity.
Top Gun 2 Review
By Nate Adcock, September 4, 2010
Topics:
Top Gun 2 sports slick graphic upgrades and loses the "Danger Zone" warning grid of the original game. The guitar riffs in the background tune (from the original soundtrack), are shredded bliss for a shoot-em-up game like this. I just let it loop for awhile just to soak in the 80's nostalgia! The in-game music was not as good as the original, but still contains enough varied and flavorful high-octane guitar shredding to suit my taste. The flight physics are still not really much different than the first game (you just tilt the plane around the screen avoiding gunfire and missiles coming at you).
iTunes 10: Sorting out the privacy features of Ping
By Jim Karpen, September 3, 2010
Topics:
The value of social media is that you learn about music that you might like. The new social media feature in iTunes 10, called Ping, lets you know what music your friends are listening to and purchasing. But in using Ping, you have to decide how much you want others to know about your own listening and purchasing. A very helpful article on Macworld explains the privacy features in Ping. It's worth checking out if you're intending to enable Ping, which is turned off by default.

Since it’s release early to mid-summer, iPhone 4 has been one of the popular topics of the Apple circle. With all its capabilities and advanced software/hardware, there seems to be a question looming amongst everyone’s minds: How are we to protect this precious device?
iTunes 10 introduces Ping, an integrated social media service
By Jim Karpen, September 2, 2010
At yesterday's event from Apple, perhaps the most unanticipated announcement was Ping, the main new feature of iTunes 10, which is now available for download via iTunes or the Apple website. Steve Jobs described Ping as a cross between Twitter, Facebook, and iTunes. You can read more about in on the Ping website or in the New York Times. Ping lets you connect with your friends and see what music they're listening to or buying.

Math Tables Karaoke needs work, but it could be a great app with a little tweaking.
