Friday Kid App Roundup – KarPooler and Sarah Little Fairy Grandma

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Greg Dawson

KarPooler for iPhoneEducation is probably one of the fastest growing categories on the App Store and rightly so as the iPad and iPhone are great learning tools for kids. Two kids apps we’re going to take a look at today are Sarah Little Fairy Grandma ($2.99 iPad only), which helps kids learn about Alzheimer’s disease and KarPooler (free), not an education app, but it does help coordinate carpools and that’s fine by me.

KarPooler (free)
Developed by a real-life mom and dad, KarPooler is the fastest, quickest and most effective way to communicate with all the adults and children in your carpool(s), without wasting time searching or scrolling around your contact list. Continue reading →

Top App for Office for iPad 2 and New iPad

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Greg Dawson

Documents To Go Office Suite for iPadWhile we continue to wait for the Microsoft Office iPad app, the top app for office for iPad 2 and of course the original or the new iPad. It’s my personal favorite and is the current office app I use daily. Seriously, it’s awesome. Documents To Go® – Office Suite – DataViz, Inc. - $9.99 or Documents To Go® Premium – Office Suite – DataViz, Inc. - $16.99. I remember my first business trip a few years back when I left the laptop and only took my iPad.

This gave me a bit of anxiety because my laptop had been my go-to mobile computing source forever. But, I did it and haven’t looked back since. The iPad’s, besides its compact, sleek style and outstanding battery life, the ability to buy an app for under $10 that allows you to create, edit, save and email documents from Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint as well as the iWork Suite) is awesome.

iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s? June or September? Do You Care?

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Chet MacTaverson

new iPhone 5sLet me just say upfront that I think the iPhone is going to drop the number moniker such as iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s to a much simpler “iPhone” standard. Why not, the iPad did. Of course, who cares about the name? We just want to know WHEN it will arrive. The latest from a long line of industry speakeasy talk is that the iPhone 5 or just iPhone will come in June at Apple’s WWDC 2012. But most are pointing to a fall release sometime in September or October. What do you think? Continue reading →

iPad 2 Gets 32nm Processor and Improved Battery Life

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Greg Dawson

iPad 2 with Better Battery LifeNew iPad 2 users who took the price drop to $399, instead of the new iPad, could be in for a real treat in the form of a longer cycle between charges according to a recent iPad 2 battery test by AnandTech. Of course, figuring out if you’re buying the new “iPad 2,4″ unit, which replaced the previous “iPad 2,1″ version isn’t going to be easy. You have to open the box and turn the device on. I don’t think Apple will let anyone peak under the hood. Continue reading →
