Default TapATalk HD for TOTV/forum browsing

Someone asked a tekkie question a while back on TOTV about using the TapATalk app to browse TOTV (and other PHP forum sites). Didn't pay it much mind at the time but decided to look into it.

It's "expensive" for an app ($4.99 for the iPad version) but is an efficient and slick way to present forum updates. Much faster way to browse through new postings without having to do a lot of extra clicking and hitting 'back' button.

It took a little tinkering to figure it all out but for those who have ipads and consume all TOTV content, it's pretty cool.

There is a $2.99 version for the iphone platform...no first hand experience with it.

Happy app'ing!!!

Default Bento database/organizer

Bento 4 ... a pretty full featured database/organizer app is "on sale" through July 31. Regular price is 9.99, on sale for 4.99

I'm just starting to scratch the surface but it looks pretty robust. This is something for all the old dbase, foxpro, etc database types to tinker with.

check it out...

Cool iOS 6 released today!

Apple is releasing it's new iOS 6 today and will be available of downloading. It is a free upgrade and will include lots of new features. This update gets turn-by-turn, voice navigation and facetime over 3G/4G, among other updates...

I believe the release time is 1:00 eastern....

Folks with the iPhone 3G or the original iPad will not be able to upgrade. You need, at least, the iPhone 3GS or the iPad 2.

Cheers!

Default Do I want 3G?

My answer is yes! If you can afford the extra cost of the 3G device, I always recommend purchasinga 3G capable device. You can not add this feature later.
you pay for your data monthly so it is something you can turn off and on as your needs dictate.


I use my iPad A LOT when we travel. The cost of the data plan is well with the value we gain. That said, if you are the driver or if you are really a stay at home person than a wifi only device should be enough.

I have taught new user classes in the past and haven't heard of anyone unhappy with the decision to purchase the broadband capable device.

You can track any flight in detail, (e.g. Time left, Time of arrival, how
far the flight has traveled, how far to go, altitude, speed, gate of
departure, gate of arrival, % on time, % late by 15 min., etc.etc.)
It will also show a map of the flight path and where the plane is at that
time.

One of my favorite apps is called "FlightAware" and it is free. Track flights be flight number, plane tail number or do a search by flight route. It even shows Airport activity and Airport delays. FlightAware has a feature called "Nearby Me" that shows active aircraft traffic above you and you can click on a plane to get it's flight info.

App: Shazam
Comments: This was one of my first apps and I believe one of the most amazing. The apps will "listen" to any music source (Radio, CD, TV, your humming, etc.) and will identify the artist and song. Once identified, you are normally presented with options to purchase from iTunes or many times, you can watch a YouTube video of the song.
Actually, Shazam does not do "your humming." Wish it did. It only does commercially recorded music

I finally found an iphone app I truly love. It is Vivino. The app is $4.95 but works great. Take a picture of a wine bottle label and it will scan it and tell you everything about the wine. Where it is produced, average price, where to buy, rank in all markets, description, region, grape, who has rated it, + +. It will allow you to add personal tasting notes that others can read. You can also use it to search a wine name and vintage and it will provide the same information. The only issue so far is that it will sometimes not read the vintage correctly when it scans the label picture. But it allows you to correct that.

Cool Google Maps for iOS 6

Google has finally released a new app to replace the missing Google Maps in iOS6.

As expected, the new app has turn-by-turn navigation and looks pretty darn good.

You can download this now app by going to the app store and searching for Google Maps.

Cheers.....Mike
