I’ve been following the progress of Adonit ever since they launched their Writer project on Kickstarter. Although I already have a ZAGGMate keyboard it’s not perfect, it doesn’t protect the iPad fully and is a little cumbersome to deploy.
When I first saw Adonit’s solution it seemed to be much closer to my ideal. A folding BlueTooth Keyboard combined into a clever folio style design that allows for screen angle adjustment , easy removal and full protection when closed. But, by the time Adonit had launched Writer for iPad, I had upgraded to an iPad 2 and so I was forced to wait a little longer whilst they re-tooled.
And so I was delighted to hear that they were pulling out all the stops and to get the iPad2 version into production in as quickly as possible. It launched last week, I placed my order and 4-days later I received it. Not bad considering it was shipped from Taiwan and our beloved Royal Mail struggle to deliver my first class post in the same time frame. Another very pleasant surprise was that Adonit charged a flat $35.00 for UK shipping with no extra fees and no nasty customs bill.

As we’re coming up to holiday time with many of us going abroad I felt it right to review this handy little app from the makers of WorldCard Mobile. The idea is simple – point your phone at some text and it translates it for you. Use it for street signs, hotel brochures, restaurant menu’s – basically anything hat needs translating. Now, I’m actually very sceptical with things like this, it just sounds too good to be true. I am pleased, however, to report that it does actually work very well.

iSlash is incredibly simple in terms of what you need to do but also incredibly addictive and challenging. The basic premise is that you have a bunch of ninja stars bouncing around on a piece of wood and you have to slash away at the wood with your finger to reduce it to a certain size to complete the level – hit a star en-route and you need to start the level again. The first few levels are as simple as it sounds but this is just to get you used to the controls. It soon gets much trickier.
Poker is big business these days, and if you’re a decent player there is big money to be made from the game. But if you are like most of us, who only play for buttons it is still a fun game that gets the pulse racing. Poker Dealer Button Free is the first release from [...]
Poker is big business these days, and if you’re a decent player there is big money to be made from the game.
But if you are like most of us, who only play for buttons it is still a fun game that gets the pulse racing.
Poker Dealer Button Free is the first release from iPhone developers Pixelapps. It’s a simple app that helps players track the time per round together with the small and big blind amounts. It also tracks the number of rounds that have been played.
Peter Dickson, he of X-Factor voiceover fame, provides the commentary, a nice touch for an otherwise simple, but useful, free app.
