iWriter - easily create study tools for the iPod, .Mac and the web

Yea that's right: I said 'study tools' and 'iPod' in the same sentence. iWriter is an interesting little app from Talking Panda that allows you to quickly build projects and study tools for easy viewing on an iPod or the internets. Projects can be uploaded to a .Mac account, and iWriter offers 8 project templates to help students and teachers alike hit the ground running. This handy little app can even record lectures, and a preview pane allows you to see exactly what your project will look like on an iPod while you build it.

All this isn't bad for a $12 piece ofUniversal Binary shareware. While a demo is available, Talking Panda receives a ding for requiring an email address to download it (though I can understand a small software outfit's need to reach out to their potential customers). Still, check iWriter out if you're in the market for more better studying with the help of your iPod.

At last, iPOD is now student-friendly. It's a relief to know that it's got a better purpose now. Parents would be happy to know that it's more than just a distraction. That application will prove to be very conevenient; especially for college students with all those lectures that they have to attend. For $12, I'll buy two just for the hell of it.

Guh... much like Apple did last time I wanted a stand-alone installer for QT7, not a download via Software Update.

Yeah, it is useful, but as of the moment, I don't think there's a definite need for it.

I've been using my iPod as a study tool for a while. I've forgotten where I heard about it, but my application of choice for studying is ProVoc... which is completely FREE from Arizona Software. It makes flashcards that can be exported to iPods, but also has a lot of options for customizing quizzing options.

iWriter sounds useful, but as a student who has been more chained to the computer than the iPod as of late, I don't need any of the lecture podcast and iPod-centric functionality.

It appears it is $29.95 when you click on the "buy" button, not $12. Looks like a cool little app though and I can see how it might be useful
