What I really love about the iPad is that it’s not only fun, it’s educational, too. Why not take advantage of this feature by not only entertaining your children, but educating them as well. 123 World Geography HD can help you do just that.
Right on the heels of my last European trip, the iPad accompanied me on a very different kind of journey, a five-day dive trip to the California Channel Islands. That meant eight hours on the road each way to and from Santa Barbara, and the three days on the good ship Conception, an 80-foot dive vessel.
I have written before about Finger Arts and their Hangman RSS app. It's a great app because not only does it keep you entertained, but it's informative. News feeds are used for the hangman words. Well, Finger Arts had another cool app before Hangman RSS and it's called Guess the News. And while they have a Lite version for free, the pro version is free TODAY ONLY in partnership with OpenFeint. If you like news, wheel of fortune, hangman, crosswords, or just well polished apps, and you like FREE, you will like Guess the News! http://itunes.apple.com/app/guess-the-news/id330688690?mt=8
First the folks at Taplay brought us a nifty take on the Jawbreaker style of game play with the fun game Virus Laboratory. For their second outing they decided to tackle the wall defense game with the appropriately named Monster Mayhem. This time, however, you’re not trying to prevent the nasties from breaking in, but rather you’re trying to prevent them from getting out. There are several different types of weapons at your disposal to help with crowd control, but what really makes this game is the crowd you’re trying to control. With 21 different types of creatures, you’ll always find something new to be amused with… until they kill you or rob you blind, of course.
I just examined two samples of STM iPad bags: the micro extra small iPad shoulder bag and the jacket iPad. Both are made of quality materials, they’re stylish, and they will help keep your life organized. The micro is roomier. It has plenty of storage space not only for your iPad, but also for your charger, your iPhone, or whatever else you want to carry in its roomy pockets. The padded shoulder strap makes it very comfortable to carry. There’s also a short handle for carrying it in your hands. This is roomy bag for its size.
Finally, a case will carry my pink Pogo Sketch! The website states that it is made from shock-absorbing material, it’s lightweight, and it protects your case where you need it most – at the edges. AND, it comes with a silver Pogo Sketch! I’ll write more after I’ve seen it. In the meantime, check it out on the Ten One Design Website.
No more notes on the refrigerator — now there’s HoneyDo for the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. It’s easy, fun, and effective! Simply host a HoneyDo group and invite your spouse, kids, relatives, friends, or anyone else who will be helping with the task. (Perhaps you are remodeling your home or planning a family reunion.)
After my frustrated online ordering experience of yesterday (shared by Tracy and Hal, among others I'm sure) I decided to give it another try. Too late. Out of luck. Sales are now suspended.
So I guess it gives me a few more weeks to decide whether I really need all those new features, or if I just keep the trusty old iPhone I know and love and spend the money on an iPad. It's sort of like deciding whether to get a new car, when your old reliable is reaching 125,000 miles old and there are plenty of shiny new vehicles clogging the car lots.
When iFighter Lite came out and I saw the screen shots I thought to myself “I’m buying the full version when it comes out”. The full version came out, I bought it, and even though I had forgone trying the lite version first, I didn’t regret my purchase at all. When I saw the screen shots for Super Laser I thought “I want to get this game”, and the feeling was cemented when I realized it was from the same developers that made iFighter. After spending some time with Super Laser I can only hope that this isn’t the last scrolling shooter we’ll see from EpicForce. Super Laser not only ups the ante from iFighter, but it feels like the game Assault Squadron should have been (minus the horizontal scrolling levels, though).
