ABC and Nielsen Media Research have teamed up to produce a revolutionary iPad app called My Generation Sync. The free app lets the user interact with with polls, trivia, twitter and facebook as they watch the TV show My Generation live.
The app was highlighted earlier in the week on hollywoodreporter.com and is the first of its kind to offer such a unique interactive feature from Nielsen and ABC.
Users who download the app can multi-task between the TV experience and the iPad, which will display polls, trivia and other content timed to be relevant to what is transpiring in the “Generation” storylines.
The app will also have a social-media element, enabling sharing, posting to Twitter, as well as “liking” to Facebook, though actual feeds won’t be integrated until later iterations of the app.
While the episode is intended for broadcast to bring together as many viewers as possible, the app can also be utilized for those watching a DVR recording.
Using an awesome new development technique, the iPad’s microphone picks up cues from the tv show that syncs up the interaction while the TV show plays.

The users have spoken and Flipboard has listened…and accommodated their requests. The personalized social magazine known as Flipboard has been updated with some new options and content for its iPad app.

The speed of Twitter and Facebook interactions seems to have increased and some pages are now more optimized that contain only text and no other media. There also seems to be some media only pages available while flipping through the Facebook section such as pages dedicated entirely to pictures.

No, hell hasn’t frozen over. It’s just that the devil wants to play with the big boys. Haha, I kid, I kid. But Microsoft has decided to step into the iPad app ring. Coming straight from the tweet of Microsoft blogger Paul Thurrott, the computer giant is currently working on iPad apps.
It’s a smart move and not a surprise since they have already released some apps for the iPhone. Maybe Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are coming to the iPad soon?

Apparently smashing an iPad while sending jagged pieces of glass flying everywhere in Newsday’s iPad app YouTube commercial does not sit well with Apple. Newsday received a cease and desist letter from Apple telling them to remove the commercial from YouTube immediately.
The video shows a man using the Newsday app on his iPad while being annoyed by a passing fly. The commercial ends with the fly being squashed on a counter by the iPad, sending shattered glass all over the countertop. I think it’s funny. Apple doesn’t seem to agree.
I can understand though, the iPad is pretty strong. Smashing it on a hard surface to kill a fly, backside down, probably wouldn’t shatter the glass. Therefore it’s not a true consequence of such an action and may paint the iPad as less than sturdy in some people’s eyes.
You can see the Newsday iPad commercial here, for now…

Released in May of 2010, Air Display offers a unique advantage to your iPad or iPhone, extra screen space for your computer to extend your desktop viewing. The Avatron Software app now allows for use with Windows based computers rather than Apple computers. The app is $9.99 from the App Store and well worth the cost should your computer desktop be too cluttered.
