She rules surely

She rules surely

Indeed. And she'd give you a good game on Words too. She is a bit scary clever, unlike her brother....

[Misfit]

The iPhone OS conference did give some iPad stats:

450,000 iPads sold so far.
600,000 Books downloaded.
3.5 million iPad apps downloaded.

It did not give any UK or Worldwide release dates....

Twitterific iPad (I miss Echofon)

On the iTunes store the Echofon page says it's for iPad as well. Or is it just the Touch version made biggererer?

[matt]

sadly it is for now

@misfit/matt

either of you tried any of the pixelmag magazines (Game, Macuser) or Comixology on the iPad yet?
Interested to see what the experience would be like (it's a bit cramped on the iPhone but I like the idea of electronic magazines/comics )

[matt]

Comixology is awesome. Viewer same as iPhone version, the way it focuses on panels. But everything looks so much better (especially the store front end) on the iPad. The Marvel app is simply a branded version of Comixology.

Just downloaded MacUser to try - works well. The Zinio app is very much the same sort of thing as PixelMags. But probably US based as it has a different selection of magazines. If pushed I would say Zinio is the better experience.

ORBITAL HD (what a rip, this should have been the original app made Universal)

You got to be kidding, can't see how anyone would begrudge shelling out another £1.79 for Orbital

[matt]

You will when you realise it doesn't sync your score between versions. And that it hardly looks any different than the x2 zoom iPhone version.

Best game on the iPhone, though, IMHO

[gravy]

Best game of the last year for me.
