Good apps list

[Thanks to Nicola]
If you're looking for good apps for your iPad, of if you don't have an iPad and you wonder what the heck one can do with it (surprising amounts), then this is a good list of paid apps. Many of the apps (My Writing Nook, GoodReader, and Instapaper for example) I can vouch for myself, and others I will try out.



There is a similar list for free apps here.

It turns out that if you're on the beach or a boat or in a steamy kitchen, you can protect the 'pad with a simple sandwich bag, and the touchscreen still works.

    Or in a tub?! :-D (it's nice to be able to read while soaking!)

  2. Mmm, in a tub I'd use a good strong bag and some extra tape fer sure.

  3. Perhaps just double-bagging in [ironically, the inverse of this picture] Ziploc gallon bags; ooooh or...better yet, 'Food Saver' if a person has one. Could make it a nice, smoothe surface to touch, rather than the other bag(s) flopping around everywhere. (wonder if FoodSaver wants help promoting it in such a fashion! I wouldn't mind! :-)

    Damn! Now I've got mayo all over the screen.

    PS: Never thought to abbreviate iPad to 'pad to save a whole downstroke!

  6. I'm hoping that " 'pad" will become a thing.

  7. Great thing it has those two vacuum tubes to add warmth to the sound. So it's not all digital.

    Well, you only believe that because you're an idiot!

    People in your country wouldn't know good music from a sick dog barking!

    You moron.
