desktop ipad app

Rating: ★★★★☆

Although the  iPad is a fantastic piece of technology, it is much like the iPhone in the way that it only allows you to run one app at a time.

Rating: ★★★½☆

Although there is already a lovely interface for ebooks offered by Apple’s very own iBooks on the iPad, there are also a number of different types of documents that the average desktop user would wish to read, i.e. documents, PDF’s, presentations, spreadsheets, high resolution images, HTML web pages and many others.

The Pinball HD for the iPad is a fantastic pinball game. The app is the iPad version of three previous pinball games that were available for the iPhone, West Pinball, The Deep and Jungle Style Pinball.

weather hd ipad app review

Rating: ★★★★½

Unlike the iPhone, the iPad doesn’t come with a built-in weather widget. This means that we are going to have to rely on third-party developers to provide this. One of the best and only weather apps that we have come across for the iPad is Weather HD. This app is priced at $.99 which currently makes it one of the cheapest apps that we have seen available for the iPad.
