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.
Users are now able to add 12 more sections to their home page, up from limit of 9. Offline browsing and automatic refreshing are some more options now making things a little more easier. 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…

Katy Huberty from Morgan Stanley is using NPD research data that shows falling notebook sales from previous years.

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.

Though Apple is not allowing Flash on the iPad, there is a new way around that rule for gamers. iSwifter is a new app that uses the iPad to access Flash based games hosted on outside servers.
iSwifter creators, YouWeb LLC, have developed the app to access Flash games hosted by Yahoo Games, Facebook, AOL’s Games.com, and Kongregate. The app is free and currently is only supported by a Wi-Fi connection, not 3G.
There is some lag during game play as the app is continuously sending movements made on the iPad screen to the server where the Flash game is being hosted. Therefore, some games may perform better than others. But it’s worthwhile to test it out to see which games work best since the app is free.
