(image source: Apple, Inc) With the release of the iPad 2, there has been a lot of commentary on the overall usefulness of the iPad. Even amongst the iSource staff, there is some debate as to whether or not the iPad is a truly useful device, or merely an expensive toy. Here’s my take. When the iPad was announced a year ago, I had no plans at all to buy it. Like many others, I concluded that it was little more than a large iPod Touch; and I simply didn’t see a need for one, especially considering that I had a perfectly usable iPhone. When my friend Mike got one, I played around with it a bit; but ultimately, I came to the same conclusion – a big iPod. Much later, when I started traveling for work again, I finally realized how useful the iPad could be and decided to take the plunge. Several months later, I am a happy iPad user who is thinking of upgrading to an iPad 2. So why is the iPad a tool and not a toy for me? In truth, it’s both. Here’s what the iPad means to me. GoodReader. It all starts here. This uber-reader application holds all of my professional and volunteer work documents for instant recall and review. This includes product manuals, customer notes, even expense reports. GoodReader can sync with Dropbox and several other cloud services, meaning that as soon as I drop a file into Dropbox on my laptop, it can be accessible on my iPad. With Office2 HD, I can edit spreadsheets or documents – and since it also integrates with DropBox, anything I create on the iPad can be instantly available on the laptop as well. Everything can be emailed or made available locally via a built-in Wifi server. If the accounting folks lose the receipts that I send with my expense report, I can pull up a scanned PDF of them and email it immediately. Same for the customer who needs product documentation or the design documentation I wrote last week. The WebEx app allows me to attend or host meetings without having to fire up my laptop. This allows me to participate in an online meeting from pretty much anywhere, even in places I ordinarily wouldn’t relish dragging my laptop to, like a restaurant. Simplenote allows me to take quick notes (that sync to the cloud Read More

We hope you like the posts and we encourage you to support our sponsors by trying out their products. Odd apps for mobile devices date back to at least the Palma Sutra, if not before. But Apple has spurred huge numbers of "fringe developers" to mess with our iBrains. Most of these apps cost $0.99, so developers might make money on offerings that make you wonder about the App Store approval process. Some of these apps go where no apps have gone before. Maybe they shouldn't have. RUSexy: This love tester lets you "meet people or judge them," all while letting you measure your own "hotness level." A great idea for those who trust their love lives to a 99-cent app. Anti-Aging: Did RUSexy return an insufficient hotness level because of wrinkles, acne, cellulite, stretch marks, arthritis and a host of other age-related matters? Then step right up! This app offers color, light and sound therapy treatments tailored to the condition you want to treat, all for the low price of $2.99! iPoop: You can learn important things about your personal health from number 2. WARNING: using this app may lower your hotness level. Task-list apps: These things have spread like mushrooms, so the key differentiator may be what they promise to help you do. For instance, if you hate task lists for what they represent -getting things done - then get the Put Things Off app. And guys, if you need help keeping things smooth on the home front, get either one of the Honey Do apps - here's one, and here's another. iAllowance (requires iTunes; available in Canada only): Get kids into task lists! They can track their chores and the allowances that go with them. Granted, the kids need to budget $1.99 to get this app - after getting an iPod Touch or iPhone to run it. DrinkTracker: We're all for keeping track of your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content). That said, what did the field-testing look like for this app? Did "volunteers" remember to enter that seventh martini or umpteenth beer, and if they did, could they still read the display? Hunting Calendar: In a demographic match made in heaven Read More

It’s going to take some time, but eventually your iPad will be just as full of apps as your iPhone or iPod touch.  Don’t worry though, we’re here to help speed up the process by finding some worthwhile free apps for you to download, and today we have discovered Ludo board game by SIS Software. Ludo board game is an iPad version of the board game you remember playing as a child.  The game is a chance-based affair that only requires a single die and two to four players.  The idea of the game is to be the first person to guide all four of your pieces from the starting point all of the way around the board, through your colored-coded home column, and into the home circle. To move pieces, players take turns rolling the single die located in the middle of the screen by simply tapping it.  You must first, however, roll a six to move out of your starting zone.  Once you do that, you just keep taking turns rolling the die and moving as many spots as it indicates.  If you roll a six, you can choose to move another piece out of the starting point or move any of your pieces that number of spots.  Sixes also give you a second turn.  If you land on another player’s piece, their piece is placed back into their starting point. That’s pretty much the gist of it, and as you can see, the rules are basic enough that nearly anyone can play. Ludo board game for iPad allows you to play with two to four players, and you can set any player as human controlled or AI controlled.  It also features very clean graphics, simple controls, and an autosave system to pick up where you left off even when you close the app. Ludo board game is normally priced at $3.99, but for the next week it will be available for free.  Don’t forget to tell all of your other iPad toting friends about this awesome deal.

With the increased screen real estate of the iPad, it’s the perfect device for playing board games. If you haven’t had a chance to browse some of the great titles available on the App Store, here’s some of our favorite board games to get you started. Such a classic, Scrabble is awesome on the iPad platform. Enjoy playing against friends (or a computer) on a gorgeous large game board. If you have an iPhone, download the free Scrabble Tile Rack and arrange your letters on your own device. When it’s your turn, simply flick them towards the game board and they’ll appear, ready for you to place and score big. Similar to the iPhone version, you can play against your friends locally or over a local network. Scrabble is $9.99. If there’s one app at the moment that’s popular across social networks and mobile devices, it’s Words with Friends. Similar to Scrabble, this game allows you to play, turn based, against friends who are playing on their iPads, iPhones or Facebook accounts. The app supports push notifications to let you know when it’s your turn, and you can chat in-game with your friends. At $2.99, this is definitely a fun board game for those who enjoy playing against friends and don’t want to take the leap to Scrabble. One of the first game apps on the iPad, Game Table provides a virtual game board for a variety of games, like checkers, chess, poker and other card games. It’s not a traditional game in the sense that you’ll have scoring or rules and stuff. Instead, it’s simply all the pieces to play games without all the fuss so you can play them any way you want. For 99 cents this app is a great value and the developers have promised that additional game pieces for Backgammon, Go and Reversi will be added soon. While UNO technically is more of a card game than a board game, I decided to include it because it’s a very fun experience on the iPad. It features all of the traditional UNO rules and actions, like Draw 2, Reverse and Wild cards. It also supports multiplayer (sharing one device or multiple on a Wi-Fi network) and features challenges allowing users to unlock additional themes to give the game a fresher look. UNO HD is $4.99. Strategery is an engaging game originally designed for the iPhone that has Read More

We recently wrote an article called “14 Useful iPhone Applications for Women” which described some iPhone apps that a writer and iPhone user thought would be useful for women. However, many commenters (probably in an attempt at humor) responded that this article was sexist. Apparently, choosing applications that target women more than men is sexist. Perhaps it’s not clear, but men and women  different. So while not all of the applications are useful for woman, those apps are targetted mainly towards women. (Sure men can use them too, but statistically, women are the primary users of those 14 apps.) That being said, we figured we should make a list of extremely sexist and stereotypic apps for men, to really show what sexist is. Read on for 20 apps with screenshots and descriptions.  1. iFitness by Medical Productions Category: Healthcare & Fitness Price: $1.99 App Store Link 2.
