I just got an ipad… cause I desperately needed another electronic item to fill my time *SARCASM*.
Despite this, I LOVE it. I questioned the use of an ipad in my life for a long time. It wasn’t until my boss bought one for work that I caved (almost immediately) and decided that even if it had no use in my life I still wanted it because it was pretty (shallow I know).
I do realise that I talk about electronics like they are my best friends and yes this is sad, however I have learnt in time to just accept it, just as many of the people in my life have also. I mean, I named this ipad Ron Weasley because it has an orange cover. Yeah. (Although to be fair my laptops are named Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. Oh geez).
Anyway, the point of this post, my favourite apps!
- MyPad - Despite having a name that sounds like a feminine hygeine product, this is my favourite facebook/twitter app so far. It’s very neat and tidy (which I love) and easy to use.
- Stumble Upon - This app is incredible! I could spend hours upon hours browsing through interesting articles, blog posts, photos, illustrations, and so on and so on. The best part is that the app remembers what you liked and presents related items in the future. Very handy.
- SMH - The ipad version of the Sydney Morning Herald. Easy to use, looks nice and, most importantly, FREE.
- Life - Lets you explore photo galleries from around the world. There’s some amazing stuff here.
- Google Earth - Indulged in some heavy nostalgia googling all of the cities I’d visited on a recent tour of Europe. Then looked up my house. You can see the boat in the front yard! It’s exactly the same as what you will see on a computer, BUT it just looks so good on the ipad.
- How Stuff Works - Great layout, interesting, easy to waste time on.
- Dropbox - Unbelievably cool app that lets you transfer files between your computer and ipad. I’m pretty sure there’s one for iphone as well.
Some of my favourite games - Sky Burger, Fruit Ninja, Harbor Master and Fling.
