I’ve been falling inexorably in awe of my iPad. In essence, it is everything I actually enjoy doing on my computer inside a much lighter, more portable and — somehow — more intimate device. As I use the iPad more I find myself less and less surprised that Apple is selling so many millions of the things. It can do anything, but some things are missing — here’s three missing features, with solutions.
Rather than launch off into some lengthy review in which I would probably reel off the spec sheet, give some glowing description of the product and its build quality (it just "oozes style", you "feel like you’ve never been without it" etc., etc.,), and then rant on knowledgeably about something I just read about on Wikipedia, I thought I’d focus on just three missing iPad features …
… and because criticism is just insanely easy and actually having ideas is pretty hard, I thought I’d do my average-intelligenced-at-best best to think of how to bring these missing features to the iPad.
First and fast: I love my iPad, but it doesn’t print…
I understand print drivers take up drive space and you don’t want to have drivers for every printer hogging that space on your iPad. But why not introduce a simple print app that speaks to your home Mac or PC over the Wi-Fi network or via the ‘Net and uses your home printer to print, running drivers on the remote machine?
You could also use this print app to print using whatever computer and printer set-up you were near and arranged access too.
This need exposes one secret to the iPad’s success. If your iPad doesn’t do something, someone somewhere is making an app which does it for you. In this case let me introduce PrintBureau, which prints email, contacts, web pages, copied "clips", email attachments, photos, text messages, shipping labels and much much more. And includes remote print.
Problem solved. A solution needs a problem first. Good lesson.
Number Two: Triple whammy
Here’s something I do. I read and research things online using my browser, email and RSS feeds. I have apps for all three on my iPad, and I also have copy and paste.
Good.
What I don’t have is the ability to run two or more apps at the same time side-by-side, for example a Web browser at the same time as a word processing utility.
Here at breakdowncover.org we’re suckers for a good racing sim (or any vehicle related video game really), so we decided to have a rummage through the growing number of iPad racing games in the iTunes store and pick out 16 of our favourites.
So here’s hour run down of the 16 best Racing Games for the Apple iPad.
Don’t agree with us? Missed out your favorite? Shout at us in the comments!
#16. Hit N’Run
Weave in and out of traffic at high speeds and hit cars of the proper color. Have fun breaking traffic regulations and following worst driving practices. Hit N’Run pushes the limits of gameplay on a handheld device. Choose your own speed and pace: from comfortable and relaxed to extreme and outright mad.
Use tilt controls to drive your car and pick up the perks on the road shoulders as you go. Boost your score by hitting cars of selected colors and completing the combo while avoiding damage from touching the wrong cars. It’s up to you to hit as many vehicles as possible without crashing your car, and collect extra points by doing cool moves on the way.
Drifting is the act of manoeuvring a vehicle through corners at speeds and angles that exceed the vehicle’s grip. A drift is when a driver performs a controlled slide through corners while adhering to the racing line. Drifting involves fast cars, super skilled drivers and hardcore fans.
Loaded with such features as:
Cutting edge control system including a variable throttle system and hydraulic handbrake
5 vehicles with unique specs (traction, horsepower, torque etc.)
3 unique race tracks
3 level of difficulties; start at easy and improve your skills while completing the normal and pro mode
3 camera configurations; select a camera that you are comfortable with
Replay system with highlights of your best combos
Soundtrack from Good Fight Music including songs from Conditions (Album: Fluorescent Youth) and I Am Abomination (Album: To Our Forefathers)
Ability to listen to your own songs from your own music library
Exclusive content including DMCC event intro video and photos
The iPad is a great gaming system by most accounts with tons of apps already available to let the owner play all the games they want. There are also a lot of options for hacking the iPad to play emulators for old school games as well.
A four-step process will turn your iPad into a SNES emulator complete with support for control via the iPhone or iPod touch or a Wii Remote. The process first requires the iPad to be jailbroken. The emulator used is called snes4iphone, though others are available.

Maybe you want to know when the new iPad operating system will be available, or what’s the best navigation app, or how to get Flash working on your iPad. Leave a comment here or contact us at info@ipadnewsupdates.com.
Recently info was released on Flash 10.1 being ported to the iPad by popular hacker Comex and now the files have been released so you can get Flash support on your iPad as well, as long as it is jailbroken that is. The plugin that allows Flash on your iPad is called Frash and it doesn’t do video playback yet, but you can still play games and other animations as of right now. The instructions are not as easy as just point and click but they aren’t that hard either. Check out the instructions below:
How To Install Flash On Your iPad:
First and foremost make sure your iPad is jailbroken. If it isn’t jailbroken, check out our Spirit jailbreak guide here.
1. Download Frash.deb and keep it nearby.
2. Decide how you’re going to get files onto your iPad.
- For Mac users, it’s dead simple — just install Netatalk, which will automatically pop up your iPad in the Finder’s Sharing list.
