Movie Vault for iPad is a great app for movie buffs of yesteryear, providing streaming over 3G and Wi-Fi. Although new movies are added frequently, most of the films available are from the 1940’s through the 1960’s. It’s a must have app for film enthusiasts who especially like older movies. Younger adults, teenagers, and those not impressed with classic movies and older styles of film may not find a need for the app.
Once you start up Movie Vault, there is a few minutes of waiting while the app updates the movie listings. There’s no waiting once you launch the app after that initial loading process. Users can easily pick any genre of film, Action & Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Western, and more. Movies are arranged on a shelf interface, much like the iBooks app. The iPad allows for easy swiping to the left and right to switch between movie genres.
Touching a movie icon brings up a window with details for that movie, including short description, director, date, writers, actors, and duration. After clicking “watch movie”, streaming begins within just a few seconds. There are currently some minor bugs that crash the app, but those should be worked out soon. And with new features coming soon like saving position in movie, more movies, navigating by year and actor, and more genres, this great app has even better potential.

Jeppesen now offers an application, Jeppesen Mobile TC, that allows pilots to search and view terminal charts on the popular Apple iPad touch-screen tablet computer. It is available from the Apple iPad App Store.
Non-Jeppesen charting subscribers will be directed to JeppDirect website to purchase the electronic chart subscription.
Jeppesen research and design experts determined that the 9.7-inch, LED-backlit iPad screen is ideal to view, search, and update Jeppesen terminal charts. JeppView electronic navigation charting service subscription customers will have access to Jeppesen terminal charts through the iPad application at no additional charge.
“Our new iPad application is designed for a very specific purpose, namely for searching and viewing terminal charts. However, the cross-market appeal of this technology will lead to further development of Jeppesen services available for the iPad in the near future, as customers provide the specifics required to serve their mobile computing needs,” said Tim Huegel, director of portfolio management at Jeppesen Aviation.
Not intended for navigational use, the Jeppesen Mobile TC application provides pilots with another tool for advancing toward a paperless operating environment. Jeppesen will address iPad applications for other aviation markets in the near future. Additional Jeppesen data services for iPad in the airline market, including tailored electronic charting and crew planning solutions, are being evaluated.
CNET’s Crave blog compiled a great list last week of twenty great, free comic books to read on your iPad. For me, more than anything else, the iPad seems perfect for a visual, interactive medium like comics. Movies are better on my big screen, and books can be read on a Kindle (or just on paper — weird, I know), but for the iPad, having the ability to zoom in on a great piece of comic art or download new comics straight to the device to be read on that big, colorful screen seems perfect.
Enter this list, which has some great free samples from both the DC and Marvel comics apps, or a few other free Comics reader apps available on the store. There’s some really good stuff out there for the low price of absolutely nothing, from some classic books that are hard to find in print to some newer promo books for current series or comics that have been made into movies.
Man cannot live on free alone — if you’re really into comics, you’ll probably want to buy a few from their official apps (though it’s a shame that pricing and selection isn’t quite there yet, but hopefully Marvel and DC will eventually figure that out). And this article doesn’t even mention the tons of great single-app books you can find on the App Store, for both the iPhone and the iPad. The iPad was designed for consuming media, and comic books are one of my favorite media around.
