iPad in Education: Art Authority for iPad Chosen for University’s Art History Classes

but because of the wealth of great educational apps that are springing up for it.

Today’s news that Seton Hill University in Pennsylvania has chosen to make the Art Authority for iPad app an integral part of their Art History classes is a great example of this. I reviewed Art Authority back in May and called it a

Simplenote for iPad Gets a Major Update – Adds Tags, Sharing, Full Screen Mode, Lots More

has just had a huge update last night, to Version 3.0.2. As its name would suggest, one of Simplenote’s strongpoints has always been its simple and elegant look and UI.

With this new update, the app has managed to maintain that simple, elegant quality while adding a substantial amount of functionality and some lovely bells and whistles as well.

CoachPad for iPad – Looks Like an Ideal Coach’s Companion

natural’ role for the iPad, and this looks like a good app to help it carry out that role. Here’s a slice of its App Store description:

CoachPad is the ideal tool for coaches everywhere – whether you mentor your son’s basketball team or coach a professional football club. CoachPad allows you to sketch out and display formations and tactics all using your iPad in a simple and intuitive way. Sketches are automatically saved and can be viewed or removed in a gallery and reused without overwriting the originals, allowing you to create templates which you can use over and over again.

And some of its key features:

- Simple interface and intuitive drawing tools
- Field templates for basketball, football, soccer, rugby, volleyball and even a blank whiteboard for any purpose
- Undo and redo to playback formations and tactics
- Save your formations to load and edit them later
- Scribble out your mistakes
- Move player tokens by tapping and holding, complete with path outlines
- Present your game-plans in high-definition on your iPad

I haven’t tried this app out at all

Flash on the iPad – No Thanks

Image Source: agreenertea.com

Today I’ve had yet another reminder of why I have no interest in seeing Flash on my iPad, or iPhone, or any mobile device really. I use a MacBook Pro as my primary computer. An MBP with 4GB of RAM, dual processors, around 50% of free disk space, and an all-round strong spec.

This morning it spent a while slowing to a crawl and becoming just barely responsive. I spent a few minutes looking into what was up with it. The answer was no surprise at all

iPad Shipping Times Down to 24 Hours

and Apple Insider suggests that this may mean supply has finally caught up with demand for the magical, shiny devices.

The estimated 24 hour shipping schedule would suggest that Apple has managed to catch up with consumer demand for the iPad, which has been a multi-million seller in its first few months on the market. Apple struggled to meet demand, as various component suppliers could not get orders to the company fast enough.

I can’t wait to see what sales numbers are like once we’ve seen a good stretch of easy iPad availability.

CDMA/Verizon chip-maker looking for iPhone expert?

off. It’s not like saving like $30 per month over verizon and At&T would NOT sway a ton of people.

mrngh1 says:August 27, 2010 at 3:51 pm

Save $30 if you don’t live in southern California….. VZW has a $99 unlimited everything plan here…. It’s a test market… I hope it does well and it is a sing of things to come for all carriers!!!!

mrngh1 says:August 27, 2010 at 3:52 pm

Oops!!!! I meant sign…. Not sing!!!!

frog says:August 27, 2010 at 5:50 pm

I don’t get the CDMA arguments. We had a national CDMA network in Australia, and they closed it down about 5 years ago because it was a far weaker signal (compared to the newer WCDMA/3G) and the ENTIRE world was soon to be dumping it (as Verizon are also)

impaler says:August 28, 2010 at 2:10 am

Hope Apple pulls a fast one and goes to Sprint. Best plans out there.

Macboy says:August 28, 2010 at 2:34 am

I hope it does go to verizon. That way the people who love verizon for whatever reason can go. But there alot like myself that have zero problems with AT&T and will stay. I pay $89 a month for everything and have awesome service with AT&T and always have. When it does go to verizon it’s going to be a mess. It’s going to be AT&T 2008 all over again.

TomZ says:August 28, 2010 at 4:25 pm

I will buy one and give my wife the Bold 9650 I’m just switched to two weeks ago.

Mac says:August 28, 2010 at 11:24 pm

Not a single one of you seem to be cognizant that this move gives Apple the ability to market to the other enormous pool of American cellular addicts. You are all kinda wrapped up in your chosen network of worship. In the unlikely event that the CDMA iPhone is Sprint bound I probably would purchase one for each female in my house. Apple devices tend to require less of my time because there is usually a large “press here for a neato experience” button. Females tend to forgive toys for not being tools. Sometimes Apple devices are even useful. They aren’t useful enough to warrant the hassle of switching networks if the one that you are on works for you.

Apple’s iPad proves to be the perfect fit for a sumo wrestler

The Dude: First sentence, second paragraph. There’s a quite obvious grammatical error.

Robbie Alexander says:August 28, 2010 at 9:04 am

Who the hell cares about grammar and spelling!?! This is the Internet age, get used to it, this is how language used to be. We went from no uniform rules in the 10th century, to eventual grammar Nazis and no with the the Internet natural language evolution is back and I’m pumped.

The intelligence comes in your ability to intuitively understand what people mean regardless of how it’s presented.

Dexter says:August 28, 2010 at 7:58 pm

Robbie,

Intelligence is also marked by uniform and concise communication through language. With your point of view, even if people degenerate and devolve to the point of using grunts and moans to implicate their meaning, it’s all well and proper. I have news for you – it’s not. Progressive knowledge, technology and civilization are termed thus for a reason and the upward advancement of them all are propelled by discipline to adhere to established principles and demeanor. Without it we are no better than we were in primitive times. Deemphasizing the value of educated responses and grammar in favor of “intuitive understanding” is to misunderstand and devalue the inherently advanced intellect required for intuitive cognition in the first place.

Tumbleroo – First iPad App for Tumblr

The iPad was virtually built for browsing Tumblr, and Tumbleroo is the first iPad app for Tumblr. Tumbleroo brings a native feel to your Tumblr adventures that you’ll love. Big colorful photos, full-screen videos, and all the liking and reblogging you can handle.

That’s the opening slice of the App Store description for Tumbleroo. As you can see, they’re claiming to be the first Tumblr app for the iPad. I can’t recall seeing another one, but then again I haven’t been looking for one either

Quick Look: Elements Dropbox Powered Text Editor for iPad

so any notes app with a hookup to Dropbox has instant appeal for me, and I’ve been trying it out a bit.

Here’s a little more detail on Elements, via its App Store page:

Elements is a beautiful, versatile text editor for iOS. Elements allows you to view, edit and share plain text documents on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. All of your data is stored in a folder on your personal Dropbox account so that its accessible from any device you have.

Whether you’re a freelance writer wanting to write your next article, a student with a book report due or professional on-the-go who needs access to their notes wherever they are, Elements can work for you.

FEATURES
- Create, view and edit text files (.txt) on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
- Cloud based: Elements stores all its data in an /Elements subfolder on your personal Dropbox account so you can access it via your iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC.
- Autosaving
- Offline support: upload your changes to Dropbox next time you’re connected
- Word counts, line counts, character count
- A Scratchpad to flesh out ideas or store random bits of information.
- Email files as an attachment
- Customize the look of the text editor to fit your workflow
- TextExpander touch support
- Free customer support via email

And here are a few of my thoughts on the app after just a short while of using it:

– I like the fairly minimalist UI. It’s not quite as basic as Simplenote, but it’s not far off either and is nice to work with.

– One of the places where it’s slightly less basic approach is very welcome is in the broad selection of fonts it offers. As you can see in the screenshot at the top of this post, it offers quite a good range to choose from. You can also set your text size, text color, and text background color.

– I like how simple and quick setup of the app is. You need a Dropbox account to work with the app

The iPad Effect – Still in Full Force

Point being, go use an iPad. I promise you that you’ll be pleasantly surprised. You just don’t know how great it is until you’ve used one.

Laying hands on an iPad is still something of a magical experience it seems. The words above are not from a rookie in the iDevices arena. They’re from a seasoned veteran of all things Mac and iDevice related – Grant Brünner, author of well over a thousand posts at the excellent Macgasm site.

I’m not arguing with him.

Rafter HD Going Free for Tomorrow (Sunday) Only

well, you get the picture!), and launching them at the mines. And our friendly timer will keep ticking away till you master the trick!

Rafter has 101 progressive levels of challenges. There are multiple solutions to each level, but its upto good ol’ you to figure out which one is the best. Oh, and we upped the ante by tying in your scores with the number of moves you make. The equation is simple: Each level has a fixed number of moves and the score increases when you solve the game using the least number of moves.

And while you’re trying to do all this, make sure to watch out for swinging platforms, fans and other not-so-friendly objects! Sounds fun doesn’t it?

Features
1. One of its kind physics based game in which the player can sketch objects of required sizes

2. Choice of selecting the type of sketches between circle and rectangle.

3. Open feint enabled to share the scores

4. 101 mind blowing levels with interesting level designs.

5. Witty and highly addictive levels targeting players’ drawing skills.

6. Dynamic ‘speed and bounce’ control function

7. Fan controls

You can find Rafter HD in the App Store now, normally priced at $1.99

As soon as Apple releases its products (i.e., iPhone and iPad) on Verizon’s network, and Verizon see those Apple sales take off, it will kill that Verizon/Google tag-team alliance pretty quickly.

The key is how long will Apple take? The main reason for Android sales on Verizon is purely the lack of an iPhone as competitor on Verizon. It will be the same case for the iPad Competitor. Google knows this, thus is trying to form the bond while they can with Verizon. Just look at AT&T. Android is on AT&T, yet their sales are dwarfed by iPhone. Android is simply selling like crazy on Verizon only because iPhone is not there. As soon as it hits Verizon, step back and enjoy the breeze as iphones fly out of their stores.

Just an opinion.

Here’s another (damn sexy) tablet concept that Asus will be producing. If it looks anything like this in reality, I could see it doing very well against the iPad/webOS/ChromeOS tablets.

Did you ever have an amazing game, only to have boats crash just when you’re about to beat your high score? Ever wish you could just rewind that moment and continue the game?

Now you can.

At the end of a game, you can now choose to rewind it, undo the crash, and continue playing. You can only use one rewind in a single game. You start out with a few rewinds you can use, and you earn more by playing more.

I haven’t applied the update yet, but will do later on

Photoshop Express Buggy, Getting Slammed in App Store Ratings

It seemed like such a great idea. Adobe was releasing a free photo editing tool for the iPhone and the iPad. Well, Photoshop Express is out, and it’s a big, honking dog.

Apparently many users are seeing the app crash on launch, open other apps, and crash repeatedly in various ways.

I have run the app probably 25 times now, partly just for testing purposes today, and I have yet to see a crash. I’ve run it in both portrait and landscape mode, opened a good range of photos from my libraries, edited them using many different effects and tools, and so far had no issues. It sounds like my case is very much the exception rather than the rule though.

For those of you have tried the app, what has your experience been? As buggy as it appears from its ratings?

Considering that Apple believes using volume buttons for camera functions in a camera app is too difficult, or the very existence of a gmail app with it’s own icon would be hopelessly confused with the mail app, this sort of contempt for user’s intelligence seems perfectly inline with the target demographic.

Sony Ericsson prepping Android 3.0 PlayStation Phone to take on iOS gaming?

robbiealexander they have stated that the specific section for these games will start off on this phone only, and spread to others depending on the capabilities of the phone.

As far as this phone…I like the concept, but its all about the delivery. I mean…we’ve seen SE botch a good thing many times coughXperiacough

But its nice to see the gaming brands taking sides in the mobile wars. PlayStation for Android. Xbox for Microsoft (of course). If Nintendo was to ever become synonymous with Apple, I’d lose it! I mean, theyree similar in almost every aspect so I think they should do it.

Yea, this doesn’t seem like a device aimed at competing directly with iPhone but rather a device aimed at competing with Nintendo. Sony seems to like to do that with their gaming devices, making them overly “feature rich” which also always means overly expensive. However, if they can get phone carriers to subsidize this device they just might dodge that bullet in the competition with Nintendo this mobile gaming generation.

That would be great, but what about battery life?

The PSP GO has had a horrible sales run, because it requires rebuying games you’ve already bought. I don’t really think people are going to go for buying the same games AGAIN, much less allow the DRM / online checking to occur. If this is going to compete with Apple gaming, it’s already got a strike against it because it’s not Nintendo.

Add in the strikes for downloading it from a specialized store and repaying for things, and then the “always on” DRM fears, and that will take down gamers.

Most my PSP playing friends use hacked roms.

Ha, anyone remember nokia’s “Ngage” nice to see mobile phone gaming has come this far… Would still love to see a case or adapter with buttons for iPhone and gaming

I think the best news from Engadget is that Google’s android Market will have hardware requirements for other handsets to access these games… that’s great news.. because touch screen only games suck… they are good for casual gaming .. but not psp like gaming..
