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 you 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
By Doug Goldring, September 1, 2010
Topics:
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.
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.
Slayer Pinball Rocks HD Review
By Mike Riley, August 29, 2010
Topics:
Pinball wizards who are fans of Pinball HD for the iPad will be happy to learn that the same developer has created a pinball table for Sony Music themed with the heavy metal rock band Slayer.
Fans of Slayer's music will no doubt find the pinball interpretation of their music and visual style worth investigating, but for those of us who are not Slayer fans yet still looking for a pinball fix beyond Pinball HD will be satisfied with this game.
Keep Up With What's New In The App World
By Steve Overton, August 29, 2010

If you're like me you are constantly checking to see what's new in the iPhone/iPad app world. I love it when new apps come out that help me enjoy my devices more.....and do things more efficiently. There are two apps that make my searching much easier. One is Appshopper which keeps an updated list of new apps. You can search by iPhone or iPad, review price history, look for only free apps and a whole lot more. You can add apps to a wish list so at any point you can see if they have dropped in price. But if you are really looking for a way to catch a deal as soon as it happens Appsniper is for you. This is not a universal app but still works on the iPad.

There is a great selection of free material available, and finding it is a cinch. Kaplan has teamed up with Apple to make a bunch of study and reference ebooks available gratis for the back-to-school season. Go here on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (which links directly into iBooks library) to get these free titles... Promotion dates and more info below...
