It’s a match made in heaven – iPad fans and the entrepreneurial spirit meet up in cyberspace – and everyone wins! The crowd-funding site Kickstarter.com is where it’s all going down. Recently, while searching their site for iPad projects, I came across dozens of ideas for everything from cases to apps. These are the projects that really rang my bell: Continue reading Must-see iPad Projects at Kickstarter.com

Summertime brings fun for all – including scam artists. But don’t you dare think for even a minute that they’re enjoying a dip in the lake. No, they’re at home in their dark basements (rent-free provided by mother, of course), scheming and getting semi’s from the thrill of making money at your expense. Here are the top 5 iPad scams, in countdown fashion – plus a look at the scam artist’s nutritional needs. Consumers beware!

The iPad is still only a few months old, and with each wave of new apps, we get a better inclination of how much this little contraption can do. Simultaneously, we see more real world applications of iPad in the lives of artists, musicians, and writers. Each time, I’m more amazed at what the creative genre produces. Today seemed like a good day to reflect on iPad art over the last 3 months, so here are our highlights and an exciting glimpse into the future.

I’ve never really taken to iPad’s native Safari app. I’m too attached to tabs and I don’t particularly like the overall browsing experience. I’ve tried out a couple other browser apps but they’ve fallen flat to my expectations. But at 5:30pm Wednesday June 2nd, I downloaded A1 Perfect Web Browser for iPad. Call me crazy, but it’s a moment I will remember secondary to April 8th, 12:35pm (when I bought my iPad). And let me tell you, you are going to want this app on your iPad too. It still has a ways to go aesthetically, but it kicks iPad’s Safari app out of the water. It’s on sale right now, so get it while it’s hot! It’ll be worth the money later on, but you’ll feel the thrill of a good deal if you get it now while it’s only $2.99.

We all knew it wouldn’t last, right? Like a popsicle left in the summer heat, the unlimited iPad (and iPhone) data plans are dripping their way into oblivion, leaving a sticky mess and a popsicle stick primed to…well, I’ll leave that to your imagination. Starting June 7th, be prepared to drastically cut – or at least be forced to monitor – your monthly data usage. Touting new plans with 2GB limits, and a world full of bunny rabbits, sunshines, and rainbows, AT&T is giving us a sneak peek of what’s to come. I hate to rain on the parade people, but this is not good news for all of us. Unless you’re an existing customer with an unlimited plan, it looks like you might soon be SOL. Continue reading Wave Goodbye to AT&T’s Unlimited iPad Data Plan

My iPad: Love at First Touch

Memories of my first day as an iPad owner will stick with me for awhile. I braved the Apple store on my lunch break, declined the offer to have it set up in-store, and hurried back to my office desk for a peek. Just a peek, mind you; enough to hold me over until quitting time. Bad decision. One touch was enough to make this girl’s heart flutter. Sure, I played with one at the store while I was waiting (forever) in line. But this one—it was mine—all mine. And I wanted to savor the experience of my first time. Continue reading New iPad?
