As mentioned in one of my previous posts, I’ve been waiting for my Power Support anti-glare screen shields to arrived for my iPad. I love the product on my iPhone, so I didn’t hesitate to order a couple for the iPad. And boy am I glad I ordered two.
I’ve never had a problem installing screen shields before and so even though the iPad has a much larger screen, I didn’t think anything of it.
It was my sons first birthday recently. For his party we did an under the sea theme. We had plenty of fish decorations and my wife made the most amazing turtle cake.
I thought it would be fun to show off the iPad during the party, so I wanted to find a cool Aquarium type app. I found two that I purchased, so here is a look at the first one.

I love my Apple iPad case, and most of the time the iPad stays inside it. But there are times when I want to take it out and use the device as a digital picture frame. That’s what I got the BookArc stand for. So I decided I needed some type of complete body protection.
I did a lot of research before making my purchase. When the dust settled I ordered from Wrapsol.
I recently received a message on twitter from developers MaxNick. They said they had a new iPhone app that myself, my website readers and YouTube viewers might be interested in. iCurling. Being Canadian I jumped at the opportunity to review this game.
I’ve been playing it several days, and I can honestly say I’m really enjoying it. Just a quick note. The app can be played on the iPad as well. You can tap the two times and make it full screen. Yes, like all the other iPhone apps on the iPad it makes the graphics a little pixely. But for this game, as it is not graphic intensive, it plays and looks really good.
I’ve always enjoyed pinball. I spent quite a few dollars playing Star Wars and Star Trek during lunch at College. But I’ve never really found a decent portable pinball game until now.
Pinball HD is quite simply awesome. The graphics, sound and game play are stunning. And for only $2.99 in the App Store, you can’t pass it up.
Take a look at my full review …
While I primarily use the iPad at home, there are times I want to take it out on the town. I could simply carry it as is in the Apple iPad case but that’s not very secure. I could throw it in a backpack, but I find them too big for simply carrying the iPad. I needed something a little smaller.
While in Seattle we stopped in to the Kenneth Cole Outlet store and I gravitated towards the Coated Canvas Day Bag. It’s the perfect fit. Not too big, not too small. It fits the iPad, the iPhone, my wallet, and a few other items perfectly.
Here’s a quick review of the bag …
The two biggest questions I get asked from Canadians looking to buy an iPad is, what case should I buy, and is it worth it to get the official Apple iPad case?
I’m here to answer those questions. I picked up the Apple iPad case when I bought my iPad in Seattle. Despite some poor reviews I had read and seen prior to my purchase, I decided to pay the $39 ($45 in Canada) because there weren’t a lot of other options at the Apple store.
Having used now for almost two weeks, I can honestly say – I love it! It is the perfect case for me right now. Yes, I’ll probably cases as more become available, but for right now, this case is great. I highly recommend it.
Here is a quick video review of the case. Enjoy.
So what do you think? Are you going to try the Apple iPad case? Do you already own it? Let me know what you think. Leave a comment below.
UPDATE: Starbucks has commented via Twitter about the apps not yet being available in Canada …
we are working on bringing the iPhone apps to Canada, promise! Will announce it here as soon as I have a date!
Lets hope the announcement comes soon.
I love a good cup of coffee – and while Starbucks isn’t usually my first choice, I do know there are plenty of them around when I need a quick caffeine fix. I’ve used a couple of apps that show the locations of the nearest Starbucks before, but I was never blown away. So I was really excited when I heard Starbucks was releasing official apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch. What was until I tried to find them in the app store.
I don’t think I need to explain who the Crasher Squirrel is – but for those that may have been living under a rock for the past couple of months, here is a quick overview. The Brandts are taking pictures of themselves in Banff National Park. While doing so, a curious Columbian Ground Squirrel pops up in front of the camera. The Brandts – using a wireless remote – snap a picture with the squirrel and send it to National Geographic Weekly for a photo contest. From there the photo goes viral around the world appearing in newspapers, on TV and all over the Internet. It’s so popular people have pasted the squirrel into a number of different pictures. A quick Google search will net you TONS of results. Now that wily squirrel has found its way onto the iPhone.
I’ve been using the new Facebook app on my iPhone for a day now. I did not like it at first. I hated the main screen as seen above, and I hated all the screen touches I needed to get to certain areas of Facebook. That’s why I waited a day before giving you a review.
