One More Step for Twitter — the iPad App

By Jennifer Valentino-DeVries

A few months ago, Twitter CEO Evan Williams said the young company was becoming “more organized and capable” — able to develop tools that had previously been handled by third-party software. Case in point: On Wednesday, it debuted an official Twitter app for the iPad.

The free app looks pretty slick, with an intuitive interface that shows both the timeline of tweets and the content in the links, whether its a photo, webpage or whatever. These are divided into panes that you can slide back and forth to expose or hide. And you can use finger gestures to see more about the Twitter user, reply to the tweet and so forth.

Eight Great Tips For Traveling with the iPad

The iPad is an almost perfect travel computer.

But as convenient as it is, a little preparation will make things even smoother.

Here are some things you should do before you leave the house.

·         Two weeks of travel, Ten iPad lessons - SlashGear - A while back, I tried traveling on business with nothing but the help of three smart phones. I quickly ran into the headroom of those devices and, by the time I was home, I had a huge list of tasks I needed to deal with that could only be done on a computer. I wondered how I would have fared had I carried an iPad with me instead.

·         The iPad Vacation Experience - If you are on holiday travel, iPad is perfect. 90% play, 10% work. Relax a little. Bring your Camera Connection Kit for iPad. A must have if you are also carrying digital camera or iPhone. For texting, I rely on service like SMS Global. ...

·         The iPad as a Travel Companion - I was amazed at how long it lasted. Of course, it was in standby mode most of the time, but this trip was nine days, so that's pretty amazing. (Though some have said the iPad can last up to a month in standby, but I can't find anywhere on Apple's website where it says that, so correct me if I'm wrong.
