iPad Gems: ABC Song, Interactive Alphabet, + More

By Jeremy Horwitz

Editor-in-Chief, iLounge 
Published: Monday, August 30, 2010 

The iPad’s value as an educational tool continues to increase every day, as new applications arrive for preschoolers, grade schoolers and college students alike. It really says something that the four ABC alphabet-teaching applications we’re looking at in today’s edition of iPad Gems are capable of being featured in such a narrowly-focused roundup; just for fun, we’ve also included a number-teaching application from one of the same developers, as well. Some of the apps here are solely for the iPad, while others are universal and thus work on the iPhone and iPod touch, as well.

Yahoo! Mail for iPad and iPhone contains tasty HTML5 goodness

by Steven Sande

 on Aug 18th 2010 at 11:00AM

While Yahoo! Mail isn't as wildly popular as, say, Gmail, there are still a lot of people who have Yahoo! Mail accounts. After all, you need a Yahoo! account to use Flickr, so many people sign up for the free accounts without a second thought. For the most part, the Web-based mail client has been a real yawner -- until now. 

If you're a current Yahoo! Mail user or are just looking for a new free email account, you might want to give the new HTML5 mail sites for iPad and iPhone a try. They're surprisingly clean, trouble-free, useful, and most importantly, free.

Why Bother With Apps for iPads?

 With 3.3 million iPads sold in their first quarter on the market, backed up with 200,000 apps for ipads, this new revolution in computer technology is firmly entrenching itself for the long run. Apple's chief executive, Steve Jobs, hailed the iPad as "revolutionary" when he unveiled the device in January, saying it would carve out a place between smart phones and laptop computers. The Wall Street Journal followed up saying it could "change portable computing profoundly" and "challenge the primacy of the laptop." Sales and reviews since then have proven all that and more to the point that Stephen Fry, an Apple enthusiast, reviewing it for "Time" magazine, concludes that "for me, my iPad is like a gun lobbyist's rifle; the only way you will take it from me is to prise it from my cold, dead hands"

Adding iPad apps makes your iPad experience all the richer. With the ability to unleash the power of the Internet, right into your hands! Netflix enables you watch any of their streaming videos right on your iPad, and with the release of the 3G models, you can literally watch them anywhere. Flipboard, released just a couple short weeks ago, gathers your favorite social media, news, photos and an ever-expanding list of specialized content and turns them into a sharp, graphic interactive online magazine. Productivity apps are fast making content accumulation, article writing and note taking as pointing your finger.

iPad owners about to get another Bluetooth keyboard case option…

Add a Keyboard Dock to the iPad and you’ve got keys to type on but lose portability. Add a portable keyboard though, and you’ve got the equivalent of a netbook. Gizmodo reports that one Chinese company is offering a solution which would allow just that, but also combines it with a case for your iPad. Though the product is not yet available commercially it has showed up on the FCC website since it uses Bluetooth for communication.

Newest iPad Ad

Who wouldn’t want one?

Apps for iPads shares the newest Apple iPad ad:

LG boasts "'iPad won't match our tablet"

So do you think that we’ll see some UPGRADES to the MILLIONS of iPads we all hold in our hands?

I, for one, at Apps for iPads, would love to see Jobs let US decide if we want to load Flash or not, not him, and would like

to get multi-tasking sooner, not later. If Apple is going to compete with the ‘new generation’ tablets then

I think they are going to have to make some concessions… for functions I should not have to jailbreak my

device to get.

So what’s YOUR take?

LG: iPad won't match our tablet

by Don Reisinger

LG believes that it has what it takes to supplant the iPad as the most desired tablet on the market.

Chang Ma, LG's vice president of marketing for its mobile-devices division, told The Wall Street Journal on Thursday that his company's tablet bests Apple's offering.

"Our tablet will be better than the iPad," Ma boasted to the Journal. He acknowledged that the iPad is a fine device, but he criticized it for not letting people "do much work on it."

Mashable/Apple reports “The update boils down to one feature, albeit an interesting one: the app now has a new “stacked card” interface for selecting and managing multiple conversations. Before this latest update, one had to manage selected conversations and currently open conversations with two separate (and similar) toolbars. Now, when you select multiple conversations, you’ll see them “stacked” on the right, and you can archive, trash or move them easily.”
