Select Topics:

Google “About Ready” with android based tablet.

Paul Venezia of InfoWorld – Paul’s article made us consider a new model for evaluating the iPad. The iPad has all but displaced our laptops. Mainstream laptops are now the ‘tweeners. They can’t match the iPad’s convenience and simplicity, but they also can’t fully replace the raw power and screen size of a desktop. For us, the laptop is now the third wheel, not the iPad.

APP CORNER:

Air Video for iPhone and iPad. Stream video from your computer to you handheld device–even over the internet.

LINE 2 iPhone App. Add a second number/line to your phone. And a myriad of other features.

This week’s picks:

Tony: The Guardian Eyewitness app for iPad – “Each picture displays a caption detailing the source and context of the photo, while a “pro tip”, written by our photographic team offers an insight into the work that each photographer has put in to the image.”

Steve: Star Walk app (and pending Solar Walk)
