Why Won’t iWork Work With iWork?

Image from YouTube After getting my iPad, one of the first things I did was to buy the three components of the iWork suite – Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

ToDo for iPad- iPad Application Review

I have long been a fan of Appigo’s iPhone apps. The company makes apps like ToDo and Notebook, and they’ve recently released an interesting cork-board app called Corkulous. Appigo’s apps are polished, full-featured and constantly getting better. Better still, as deep and complex as some of their apps are, everyone of them have worked perfectly [...]

Review: Disney Princess & The Frog Digital iPad Book

Review: iPad Camera Connection Kit

Unlike many of Apple’s devices, the iPad has seen a host of accessories released along with it.

There are no less than a ton of drawing applications currently available for the iPad. It’s far and away the one application category that the iTunes App Store isn’t in need of filling. So how do you differentiate between all of the draw on the screen apps currently at your disposal? Simple, you pick the [...]

Video Review: Virtual Pool HD for iPad

The iPad’s big and glorious screen is touted as being great for gaming. I have personally found however that only a certain genre of game plays well on the device. For me it’s one which don’t require me to pick up the iPad which seem to work best. I just don’t feel comfortable picking up [...]

iPad: Where Are the Apps?

I want to take you back to the day the iPad was announced and the days that followed. After the jubilation began to wear off I began to ponder the pros and more often the cons of the device. Upon doing so I was able to strip way most of the negatives (lack of flash, [...]

Shanghai Mahjong for iPad

Mahjong is one of those games that has always fascinated me – both the solitaire version that most PC gamers are familiar with and the competitive version of mahjong (sometimes called the “real” mahjong). Shanghai Majong is one of the former – the solitaire version of the game. For those who have never been exposed to the game, the [...]

Making Contact With “Contacts Journal” and Finding A New “Key” iPad App

I interact with people all day, day in and day out. So many people that it sometimes becomes difficult to keep it all straight.
