Post a Comment On: A Nod to Nothing

iPad rundown.  I've done it before, but this time it's for Kristine.  Caveat - I'm still running on a first gen iPad.  No camera in mine.  And I have other things on my iPad, but these are the things that are commonly used (although Eryn has some tap games she likes to play that aren't on here, like Dragondale).

Media Consumption:

Netflix Kindle Link to Kindle store (instead of buying through the Apple store) Zite - news, not current, but based on topics - best way to get programming posts on the iPad Facebook Twitter Pulse - aggregator (I don't use Flipboard since I got it, but my wife still uses Flipboard) Pandora - free music YouTube Flixster - movies (rotten tomatoes ratings, local theaters, & hook to netflix) Trailers - movie trailers Westlaw Next Maps McSweeny's

Fat Secret (calorie counter) Dropbox Textastic Penultimate (probably better out there - for free form notes) Timer (countdown)
