Here’s another iPad app to make learning the alphabet easier and more fun for kids. Little Sky Writers, from DANO2, lets you trace lowercase and uppercase letters by way of a sky-writing airplane. A comical voice follows you through the alphabet, suggesting words that begin with the current letter you’re tracing as well as sounding out each letter. The plane is moved around the letter by placing your finger on it and following the white line path already laid out.
Once starting the app there are three different planes to choose from. There are also three difficulty levels to choose, offering varying degrees of distance allowed from the specified letter path. On the hardest difficulty setting, straying from the path sends the airplane back to its starting point. The other two levels let you stray from the path without needing to start over. Each letter page comes with a lowercase/uppercase switch, sound control, and ability to choose from any letter in the alphabet.

ABC’s new TV show My Generation debuted tonight and teamed up with Nielsen to provide a live social interactive experiment via a first-of-its-kind app on the iPad which seems to have been a success.
As soon as the program began on the television, one click on the iPad app synced the two together, followed by a confirmation. As the show began to highlight the participants of the faux-documentary, the first poll appeared in the iPad app: “What were you like in high school?” Options ranged from the Rock Star, The Jock, The Wallflower, The Punk and others. Shortly after, the results were shown with “The Nerd” winning out with 22%.
As characters were highlighted, short bios for each one appeared in the app. Other polls followed, one asking opinions on the 2000 US presidential election where a tie breaker was decided by the Supreme Court.

Technology journalist Walt Mossberg took a “working” vacation to Paris last month and purposefully left his laptop at home. He used his iPad to perform business related tasks. By his own account, the experiment was a success, the Wall Street Journal columnist was able to perform his work duties without a laptop, on the iPad.
Mossberg was able to keep up with emails, work with documents, watch videos, and using the SugarSync app, he easily accessed a file on his home computer from across the Atlantic ocean. Other productivity and editing apps were used such as GoodReader, Documents To Go, and Quick Office.
