Don’t want to reach for your phone to send a quick message to your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad having pals? Use Ping!, a free messaging app which vaguely reminds me of the BlackBerry Messenger setup.

Porting apps from iPhone to iPad isn’t just resizing all your assets, your app needs to be re-adjusted to use the larger space and how your fingers don’t cover up 1/5 of the screen when in use.

Asimo, Honda’s adorable humanoid robot, has been known to conduct symphonies and climb stairs, but what has he done for you lately?
