Apple iPad App Review – Page 1 Line 5

The final line on the first page, quite a few applications have shuffled about, and the remaining reviews will be a straight shot through the rest of the pages. Here’s the last line on my iPad:

  • Pandora – Quite possibly the greatest background filler to a game of Scrabble that I could imagine. Plugged in (preserving batteries) you can set it to create whatever atmosphere you wish for whatever may be going on. Mozart or Mahler for Scrabble, great choice. The App itself is great, as all apps are that work the way you imagine they should.
  • Wikipanion – This app gives you a custom interface to Wikipedia. It’s truthiness aside, I find Wikipedia ‘good enough’ for basic information and I absolutely love the ability to save Wikipedia articles for later viewing.
  • StreamToMe – Best $2.99 I’ve spent in the App Store for my iPad. This application and it’s free server software for my Mac gives me the ability to stream video and music content from my Mac Mini connected to a data pig. Instead of having to store all the media on my iPad, I can stream it over my wifi network at home, works like a charm.
  • Settings – The go to place for pretty much all system level adjustments, from Wallpapers to accessing VPN services. On the front page so I don’t have to go a-hunting for it elsewhere. Both my iPod Touch and my iPad have the Settings icon on the first page. Couldn’t imagine it anywhere else.
