iPad Apps: Things, Square, Sketchbook Pro, Warpgate, Magic Piano

Things and Warpgate look fantastic.

I have a sudden urge to play EVE online now.

I just got Things last night, I haven't played around with it too much but it looks nice.

mlb tv rocks!!!!!

I think the Music Notes iPad app is worth mentioning over Magic Piano.

What I don't get is why does that Square thing use the audio jack and not the dock connector? It would be so much more stable! Another thing is that why doesn't it have a chip reader instead of the magnetic strip reader? Then you wouldn't have to swipe it, you wouldn't have to sign it and it would be more reliable as well...

Because they want to offer it on non iPhones too.

Apple should partner with Nintendo, it would be amazing to use the iPad as a control surface. Imagine how the Metroid series would be enhanced via touch!

"Things" nailed the video. Really nice promo. It seemed a bit expensive for the functionality shown. Does it sync up with the web, or any of the built-in apps? (like Bento does?)

I thought Sketchbook Pro looked very nice also. I wonder about the 6 layer limit though. I tend to use lots of layers in Gimp / Photoshop... Maybe it won't matter for quick sketch-ups, as you'd export them for final editing on the desktop. I'll probably grab this one.

It's nice to see a thread about applications and usage rather than people complaining about imaginary possible limitations because of some specs they don't really understand. LOL

Or not.

These early apps are well tuned to the "lame, only single core, cortex A8 with a mere 256MB RAM, and mostly single tasking" or so the meme goes. Each demonstrates the power of the A4, benchracing not withstanding.

At some point and after the arrival of the 3G iPad, with the App store busting at the seam with quantities of high quality iPad apps, the negative memes will fade into the background, and we can get on to complaining of the lack of Mac product refreshes.

For the "not good enough for content creation" crowd that see's the lack of Office and Flash as critical flaws;

Buh Bye!

Anyone have ideas about a good simulation game like simcity, sim tower even the game we rule, but does not require buying those in game items. I dont mind paying for the game but hate the hidden costs.

What is a good photo editor for the ipad that includes rotate, crop and resize?
