iPad

Google Earth for the iPad is rather a thing of beauty

[Cloudane]

Oh finally I've been using fullforce on the iPhone version for a while (worked quite well)

[GeeZa]

Sword and Sworcery.

I mean the vinyl EP level select metaphor is quite enough, but wow. This just looks brilliant.

[defsdoor]

Sentinel on the iPad - come on - it just has to be done.

Galcon Fusion is on sale this week at £1.19. Well worth checking out for some fast paced RTS.

So...

When are one of you geniuses gonna get GemRB working on the iPad so I can play Baldur's Gate on the toilet?

[louiecat]

Geometry wars is a thing of smooth HD beauty on this. Controls can be a pain once your thumbs get greasy, but its discounted to 2.99 at the mo (or was yesterday). Also bought the wondrous Art Authority for ipad. Brill.

I Dig It HD available for download on app store, lovely

Picked up Omnigraffle, very impressed by it so far. Pretty intuitive , managed to get a few rough process maps done in minutes

On the down side it's rather expensive at £30

Makes me smile when people complain about paying 30 quid for a diagramming app of this quality, likely to be used in business (not a personal criticism of your opinion - if you think it's expensive, then it's expensive for you).

Shows the impact of the App store pricing model on perceived value, I guess.

Given that the iPad is looking to be attractive for corporate meetings (docs and notetaking), I wonder if we'll get a bunch of apps selling successfully in this priceband.

I'm guess that the people who do actually need it don't think it's expensive and bought it anyway. The people moaning about it are probably those who've just become used to not actually making a conscious purchasing decision based on need, they've just become used to impulse buying apps at 59p because at that price it's a no-brainer.

Shows the impact of the App store pricing model on perceived value, I guess.

It's crazy just how quickly anything over 59p suddenly seems 'expensive' isn't it..

FWIW, I did buy Omnigraffle and it's great. I use several of their apps already including Omnifocus on both my Mac and iPhone, plus Omni Outliner and Omni Graffle too. They struck gold years ago by getting Apple to ship them as part of the standard install on the old PowerMacs and I got them both with my Dual G5 and bought all the upgrades since then.

Can't wait for OmniFocus to launch on the Pad, and frankly I don't care what it costs as it's such an integral part of my daily routine now that it's worth far more to me than the few quid they'll be charging for it.

Have looked at omnigroup desktop apps which have 14 day unlimited trial before you commit
What I didn't know was they have a 30 day moneyback guarantee for app store purchases http://www.omnigroup.com/blog/entry/30_day_guarantee
which takes the risk away from buying their apps (something I wasn't aware at the time of buying Omnigraffle).

I must say their video tutorials are great and do get you using the apps faster than a dry manual.

Have used omnifocus but found it overstructured for me (it's me not the app )

May reconsider if my chosen task manager (The Hit List) becomes abandoned (which sadly seems likely)

All of the Omni apps are awesome on the desktop, quite literally crapping over the opposition (on all platforms). I can't imagine how much more awesome they are on the iPad.

If you're not into GTD then it's probably not your best option. If you are though then it's great.

[hyphz]

I've kind of twiddled about with task managers for a while.. I did use OmniFocus for a bit, but its strange sync behaviour drove me up the wall, and I've defaulted back to Things now - which is just GTD-ish enough to be GTD while not being overstructured (excellent word, that). Only problem is, you need a Mac to set up any repeating tasks, which is really silly.

Midnight Inbox Touch has a LOT of potential, though, but is still a bit buggy in its first versions.
