A couple of months ago, Mike put me onto an iPad app called Comic Zeal.  It’s price veered towards being one of the most expensive things I’ve ever bought on the App Store (it was about eight bucks) but it’s been totally worth it.  It sounds like a pretty simple proposition but I don’t believe anyone has made anything better.  ...

Looking back on 2010, here’s an assortment of topics off the top of my head that stood out as being worthy highlights or forgettable lowlights for the year. The Best of the Year The iPad I picked up an iPad at launch when it came out in May this year and am still absolutely in love with it.  It’s simple ...

I try very hard not to be one of those iPhone people.  You know the type that obsessively takes it out and uses it for Facebook, Twitter or text messaging in public.  I like those things and use those functions too but I know it drives me nuts if I’m talking to someone and their eyes glaze over as soon ...

Okay everyone, me and Jen are hitting the trail and heading off on our holiday for the next four weeks.  We’re doing Edinburgh, London and Kota Kinabalu in that order.  Feel free to hit me up on Facebook if you think you’ll be free to catch up anywhere amongst that.

Okay, so Flipboard, a free RSS reader app which came out recently is pretty freakin’ awesome.  I can easily see something like this becoming of the one most popular apps on the iPad.

For the uninitiated, Mirrors Edge is a game in which you play a courier in a dystopian future which is ruled by a tyrant.  ...

I’ve only really just started to have a look at the gaming side of the iPad in the past week.  Jen’s had Angry Birds on there from day one but the game doesn’t really interest me. To be honest, it looks like there’s not a lot of great unique gaming experiences on the iPad yet with the bestselling products generally ...

I’ve come across a couple of fun apps this week. I’m really digging the Guardian’s free photo-a-day app Eyewitness.  It does exactly what it says on the tin which is update each day with an interesting photo from someonewhere around the world.  I’ve add a couple of my favourites from the past week. Also, I downloaded the The Chaser app ...

If you’re looking for an app on the iPad to engage your creative side then Brushes is  worth checking out. Part of the beauty of the iPad is of course its very satisfying and responsive touchscreen interface and Brushes really plays to this strength.  For $10 bucks you get a pretty simple but effective finger painting application that lets you ...

Australia and The Rest of the World had their iPad launch day on Friday 28th May.  Always a sucker for Day One launches, I went along with Jen to the Chermside Apple Store for an 8 am opening.  We got there around 7ish and there were about 150 people in front of us. As launch day line up crowds go, ...
