KeyPad for Photoshop (CLICK) sounded like a great idea so I tried it yesterday. Turned out to be just hard work to use in practice and, I reckon, less intuitive and slower than keyboard shortcuts. It's only just over a quid and is interesting to try but for left hand controllers I'll stick to my trusty 3dConnexion SpaceExplorer.

<EDIT> Nearly forgot... 'Plants vs. Zombies' was brilliant on the PC but even better with the touch screen! :thumbs:

I'm looking for an app that will handle fairly complex tables in word .doc format

Pages & Office HD just screw up, anybody got any other suggestions ?

Air Video - streams video from your network, transcodes from non-iPad friendly formats on the fly. Quality dependent on your processor in the server machine. Very cool.

It's called the Citrix Receiver (they pay my wages btw) ;)

If you've got the Receiver on your iPhone you can use it as a bluetooth mouse too ;)
 
Wired magazine... It's amazing! 500mb download for a magazine lol.

Yes Citrix Receiver - I have used it to connect to our XenApp farm at work and run some published apps - it is excellent.

Will try the mouse bit today - thanks

Indeed - it is exactly what I wanted from a digital interactive magazine (and more). I just hope that some other titles jump on the wagon too !!

Other Apps

National Geographic World Atlas HD - £1.19 - Geography never looked this good!

I've been tempted to get Elements too, as it just looks gorgeous but it's £7.99 :(
 
Elements is meant to be very cool but I bet it slows down your iPad syncing somewhat !!
 
Little question: What does the "HD" stand for? Just got my iPad yesterday, so I am watching this thread with interest.

What I would REALLY love: A way to use my iPhone as a modem or hotspot. Connet the iPad to that, and surf on my iPhone data account. If only... *dreaming*.
 
I believe you can do that if you jailbreak the iPhone...

'HD' is just the de facto moniker developers are slapping on all their apps that have been re-jigged to use the iPad's larger screen.

Check out MiFi. Stick a data-enabled sim inside and it becomes a WiFi hotspot.

So did I. :)

I hope they add the discussion threads in groups to this app. I agree, better than the official Flickr app for iPhone. :thumbs:
 
Having never used Flickr, can somebody give me an idea what it's for :D
 
Nowt to do with photography, very expensive but....

If anybody is interested in making music and has been envious of the tenori-on then check out Aurora Sound Sound HD on the iPad. I paid up my £24, I've no idea what I'm doing, but I love it.
 
Thanks all! Superb Thread! All up to date.

Going to download FlickrStackr and Elements tonight. Cheers :thumbs:

Apologies for delays in updating - having a hectic time!

The receiver connects you to your application delivery infrastructure from your lovely IT department.

Eeek. My bad.

Is the amendment better?
 
Not got it personally, a friend at work uses it on his iPhone to connect to his home and work pc's, he thinks it's great.
 
I bought Reeder, I love it. Google reader basically.

I also bought Angry Birds. SOOOOOOOOO ADDICTIVE!
