Preview of Bartleby Vol. 2 iPad app shows possibility of future AirPlay integration

by Chris Rawson (Aug 8th, 2011)

We covered Monster Costume's interactive children's book Bartleby in 2010, and multiple TUAW reviewers found it to be a charming and well-crafted iPad app. Monster Costume is hard at work on Bartleby Volume 2, and even though I don't have kids of my own and am about 25 years beyond the target ...

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jul 14th, 2011)

Nexercise has the noble aim of getting you more active. To do that, it offers rewards. Not just leaderboards and social rewards, but actual rewards in the form of discounts and things like Amazon gift cards. Sounds cool, doesn't it? We met up with the high-energy and very pleasant CEO of ...

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jul 12th, 2011)

Agenda Calendar is a gesture-based calendar app for your iPhone or iPod touch (our review here). Agenda features a very minimal interface, presenting your data in a simple, straightforward manner with a few animations here and there. There is some intelligence built in as well, giving you links ...

Video App Demo: Tango Remote

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jul 11th, 2011)

We've taken a look at Tango Remote before, and I've always thought it was functionality that Apple should have included in iOS to begin with. Tango Remote allows you to remotely control the music on one iOS device from another iOS device. This way you could plug in your iPod touch to a stereo, ...

Video App Demo: Leatherbound

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jun 22nd, 2011)

Leatherbound is a cool, free app (iPhone and iPad) for finding the price and availability of e-books. It's meant to keep you from searching for just the book you're looking for among the mountains of Kindle, Nook and iBook offerings. Once you find a title, give it a tap to compare its listing on ...

Video App Demo: Meeting Spot

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jun 21st, 2011)

We spoke to Nilay Patel of Selligy at WWDC, and he was kind enough to show us Meeting Spot, an app for visitors in San Francisco attending events near Moscone Center. Selligy's backend technology sounds promising, as it goes beyond mere location-based data or simple keyword matches, and tries ...

Found Footage: Rage for iOS running in WebGL

by Mike Schramm (May 18th, 2011)

The video on the next page shows a pretty mean feat of coding. Developer Brandon Jones has taken files from the iOS version of id's Rage game, which came out for iOS a little while ago, and tweaked them to display in WebGL, a library for JavaScript that can generate 3D graphics in a compatible ...

Adobe adds three Photoshop-centric iPad apps to lineup

by Chris Rawson (Apr 11th, 2011)

Adobe plans to demonstrate three iPad apps designed to work in conjunction with the forthcoming Adobe CS 5.5 update. Rather than representing a standalone implementation of Photoshop running on the iPad (as demoed earlier this month), these apps are more like enhancements to the existing toolsets ...

Pioneer demos new iPhone-powered in-dash interface

by Mike Schramm (Mar 29th, 2011)

We first heard about Pioneer's AVIC in-car units back at CES earlier this year, but earlier today, the company was kind enough to drive a Land Rover up to my curb here in Los Angeles, and I checked out the system in action. The main unit, as you can see in the picture above, is a pretty ...

GarageBand for iPad: Using the app to show off the device

by Erica Sadun (Mar 22nd, 2011)

GarageBand for iPad is, I'm pleased to say, another one of those apps. It's software that melds so perfectly with the iPad hardware that when you show it off to someone, their natural inclination is to say "Oh, so that's why I should buy one of these devices." I love finding those ...

From the iPad 2 line: Form Tools PDF for the iPad

Quite a few TUAWers are out and about this afternoon picking up iPad 2s, and our own Erica Sadun is in Colorado right now. While in line for her new magical and revolutionary device, she met up with developer Zach Starkebaum, creator of the Form Tools PDF app for the iPad, and got a quick demo ...

GDC 2011: Remedy brings Death Rally to iOS

by Mike Schramm (Mar 8th, 2011)

Finnish developer Remedy Entertainment is known for making full-fledged console titles like Max Payne and Alan Wake, but it's stepping into the iOS arena with a touch-based remake of its old racing combat game Death Rally, originally released back in 1996. I got to see the game in action at GDC ...

Microvision runs TV out apps, including Rage HD, on the SHOWWX+ pico projector

by Mike Schramm (Jan 8th, 2011)

Last year at Macworld 2010, I got to see the SHOWWX pico projector in action. Back then it was just a prototype, and the company was still shopping around the technology to try and get a unit into production. MicroVision has released the SHOWWX projector at a unit price of US$299. This year's ...

Video: DJing on an iPad

by Mike Schramm (Dec 24th, 2010)

In the video below, you'll find a pretty rocking DJ set thanks to an iPad and some other pretty gnarly hardware. This isn't exactly a DIY solution, since DJ Kutski is using Traktor Pro (that's the software on the screen above) and an X1 controller, both of which are pretty significant pieces of DJ ...
