The only thing so far I like as much as Zite is Yahoo’s LiveStand. There too you can customize the content. It has a different way of presenting, but just as fun and interactive. The content seems to have more available. I need to explore those unknowns, which is part of the fun. I highly recommend LiveStand.

Curious to know, but do you access Penny Can or any of the numerous p*rn sites with your iPad? If so, you gotta type with the hunt an peck method when posting? I should create a new thread in Hardware geared strictly to the iPad, but I'll ask here. What are your thoughts of it? Is it better than getting a laptop or what? Pros? Cons?

Excellent question and one I've been thinking about. I would love an app to instantly access Penny Can. Other sites as well like Bloody Disgusting or Classic Rock. The way I do it now is I emailed myself with the link and access it. I should be able to have a bookmark, but for some reason that has not worked.

I do look at Penny Can through the iPad. It’s great way to read.  I find wanting to link or replicate info I’ve found elsewhere (Zite, LiveStand, pron). Currently that’s frustrating and requiring more work than at a computer or laptop.

I’ve read several articles already about iPad vs. laptop at home and work. It’s an evolving thing but currently each has its advantages and disadvantages. I’m using it for my advantages. I use my desktop for others.

iPad Cons:
Typing, by far the touch keyboard makes typing difficult, let alone a lot of typing. Holding it and typing combination just complicates the whole process.
Music, I would never use this to listen to the iPad directly. The stations are coming around, and it would be cool to play the music through my system, so that’s something to look forward too.

iPad Pros:
There are many, but mobility and sharing is huge. Carrying it wherever I want is big. Reading what I want and when. Then if the opportunity arises to show people, it’s there.

So I was throwing the iPad into the mix to see if that is a viable replacement instead of a computer. She does a lot of Photoshop Editing and Writing as well. Can this be done on an iPad at all?

I imagine so, but from what I've seen, I think it would be frustrating and more labor intensive.

I'm hearing good stuff about the ultra thin laptops for Windows and Apple which may be a possible solution for her

Action Movie FX app



I love this free app. It's simple, it's stupid fun and it's free. I wish I could show you the few I've made. I've blown up my dogs, my wife and guests. It is so fun. The incoming missile attack and the car role are free. They just added the giant ball drop. The others you need to pay for.

I don't know how 

so a quick research...

You can then share the video via Facebook, email, or merely save to the camera roll to do with as you will. Once done you are free to make more videos.

I don't have Facebook.
I can email.
I believe the camera roll is an iPad portion of the photo's and video. What to do with it then is unknown. I'll look into it more. I don't know how to post to Youtube either.

I've only had this a couple of days but already can tell I'm gonna like it. Each day, the app introduces a new band. It appears mostly indie stuff, which is fine. Today I'm checking out all the details about Little Jackie. While you can listen to whole songs from the artist release you can check out the bio, videos, album info, etc.
