If Red Dead Redemption Had iPads, It Would Include This Solitaire

I’m not a solitaire fan, but I think that a computing platform is not complete until it has a solid solitaire app. Especially the multitouch iPad. Solitaire Classics HD is the perfect solitaire for iPad. It looks and plays beautifully. That’s what really makes this game: The really pretty graphics coupled with the way you…

New York Times Forces Apple to Pull Popular ‘Pulse’ iPad Newsreader

Apple has pulled the best-selling iPad RSS application, Pulse, from the App Store at the request of The New York Times. Why?

Paper Toss HD App Now Available For iPad

It’s one of the most addictive games on the iPhone—but finally developers Backflip Studios have created an iPad version. It’s pretty much the same game, only has a new “pub” level and HD-(ish) graphics. While the iPhone version is free (and 21m people have taken them up on the offer), the iPad version costs $2.99.…

Prince of Persia iPhone Game Takes You Back To 1989

You’ve probably heard by now that the Prince of Persia film is a complete wash-out, but thankfully ye olde retro Prince of Persia game for the iPhone and iPad has just been released today. It costs 99 cents and plays just like the 1989 classic, with a 60 minute time limit. It can hook up…

Barnes & Noble’s iPad App: The iPad Ebook War Just Got Real(er)

Barnes & Noble’s free eReader app is here, and shockingly, it’s probably the best ebook app on the iPad, for now. Better than Kindle, and better than iBooks. https://gizmodo.com/the-barnes-noble-ereader-ipad-app-is-on-the-way-but-5491048 It’s kind of a cross between Apple’s iBooks app and Amazon’s Kindle app, bringing the best (and worst) of both into a single app, with a…

WebMD iPad App Is A Hypochondriac’s Nightmare

Air Display: Use Your iPad as a Second Monitor, Without the Pain

The first app to pull this admittedly excellent trick was called iDisplay, but it was slow and buggy.

Keyboard Upgrade is an iPad app that allows you to split and resize the base iPad keyboard. For a moment, I thought this idea might be neat or even useful, so I dropped $1 to test it. I was wrong. Since developers can’t modify the basic iPad OS, Keyboard Upgrade is similar to those old…

Hulu Plus Subscription Service Likely Delayed

According to All Things Digital, that $10-a-month Hulu Plus subscription service won’t quite make it out the doors in time for the rumored May 24th launch-date. Considering Hulu still hasn’t confirmed that a subscription service is on the cards, it’s not entirely surprising we won’t be seeing anything next Monday.
