Courier lives on the iPad

Can your netbook do that?

I thought I have seen it all.

sling Note is what makes the iPad computing experience so unique and magical.

Lassoing web clippings and dragging them over to a basket or notepad really works and is so intuitive!

The free hand ink tool could use a bit more smoothing and undo and redo would be enhancements, but I have to give a 5 star because the idea and implementation is so brilliant.

Just buy it before this hits the top ten and gets popular in price.

Mobile Buster really has something here. Just check out the video.

TWMobile: TiddlyWiki on iOS...works!

TWMobile truly saves tiddlers on iOS.
I tried the default from TiddlyWiki.com and also the Basics QuickStart package from Eric Schulman's TiddlyTools.com and TWMobile saved changes on both.
Truly a remarkable first as the world of TiddlyWiki and TiddlyWeb is such a rich and magical universe now brought to mobile.

Underscore Notify: sleeper gem of a an-notater

Underscore Notify is a note taking and annotating application for iOS devices.
It kicks app a**

Sleeper gem.
This came out of the blue. I've tried many notes apps, but none as fluid in UI and full featured. Underscore Notify looks like the devs made the app for themselves to use regularly.
Pages are infinite. Read that again. Zooms are preset and pinch variable. Objects are movable: scribbles, shapes, text, web pages.
Truly a virtual canvas.
PDF, Dropbox, wow. I'm repeating- heck, I could not believe the audacity of the feature list, but indeed it is supported!
The interface is quirky but intuitive; no tapping around to get basic functionality, unApple like in a good way.
The help is extensive but only needed to flesh out detail.
I haven't had time to check performance with many notebooks, but so far on basic use, this is beyond 5 star.
Save yourself lots of beta testing and money trying others.
Slightly miffed as now I'll have to delete apps I bought that Underscore Notify replaces. Live and learn.
Also it's a Universal Binary!

Soundpaper Updated: gives iPad LiveScribe pen functions!

Soundpaper was updated to support drawing.

Why is this incredible?
There are quite a few drawing and sketch apps, but
Sound paper has done a really excellent job of mirroring the functionality of a LiveScribe Pulse pen by allowing the drawing to be synced to audio.

You can tap the drawing and the audio starts playing near that position.

Tapping a pencil icon at the upper right corner switches to drawing mode and you can begin drawing right in the middle of your text.

Drawing dramatically increases SoundPaper functionality.

The interface is quite minimal but done very cleanly in that a double tap will select a single stroke and a single tap will select a stroke and its adjacent neighbors.
You can make a single strikethrough stroke and select it with a single tap to delete multiple strokes, but the ability to group strokes to move them around would help.

Also I would still like a date time stamp insert option though or TextExpander support.

All in all however right now Soundpaper is the one to beat.

Skype on 3G: yep it works

Haven't tried to a landline, but Skype works with toll free numbers. Call quality is average, but usable.
A few Skype credits and the iPad is a phone!
$14.99 is looking worth it.

Oatmeal supports the iPad

It's just a big iPod Touch, thank goodness

I don't have good metrics, but if i venture to guess, I'd say that the ipad has overtaken browsing habits over the laptop and handheld.
Lots of criticism I've read about iPad come from cursory (at store) or no actual use of the device.
"doesn't even have a full OS"
"it's just a big iPod Touch"
Try this:
Take your screen, desktop monitor or laptop
Put it on your lap
Make it wake from sleep
Turn on wifi
Surf
How long did that take?
The iPad does this in less than 10 seconds with multitouch deft.
Instant on, the web that is.
