Discovering new apps on your device
One of the neatest things about owning a digital device is discovering new ways to use it. Got a spare 10 minutes? Look for a new app. Great way to kill time For example, when I bought my iPad Touch, I started monitoring websites and twitter feeds such as 148apps and appadvice.com. There’s an more than one…

My device isn’t what it was yesterday.
One of the neatest things about computers, and now portable computing devices (like my iPad) is that with a quick download, the unit’s function changes. If the promise of portable tablet computing plays out, mobile technology will be the next big wave in the tech biz. And why not, we’re only limited by the imagination…

Little Screen:Big Screen
If you own an iPhone or iPod Touch, you may be a bit concerned about adding an iPad to your hardware arsenal. I know I was. Especially since I was dreading purchasing new HD versions of some of the games I’d already had running on my Touch. But I made the leap and have a…

I’m kinda clumsy at times, and anything that can protect my hardware from *me* is a worthwhile investment. I dropped my iPod Touch down the stairs last year,…

My iPad steering wheel mount
I’ve written before about using the Joby Gorilla Pod flexible tripod as an iPad desktop stand, but today was inspired to use it as a temporary steering wheel mount while waiting to meet someone. Yes, due to an appointment scheduling issue, I was 45 minutes early so had a bit of time on my hands. Damn flexible…

Making music on the iPad
In the previous item I mentioned that I’d not yet tested out Seline HD, an iPad app. Well, I have now, and yes, it really is quite cool. After fiddling about with the interface for a bit, I was able to pull this little bit together. I must have been inspired by the few hours of…
