Considering Aperture for iOS

by Mike Schramm (Feb 7th, 2012)

Gabe Glick over at Macstories has a proposal: Aperture for iOS.

The iPad rocks this 'It Girl' remix

by Mike Schramm (Nov 30th, 2011)

We've heard some really good music come out of an iPad before, but to me it's all basically sounded like yeah, it came from a tablet. This remix of Jason Derulo's "It Girl," however, which you can watch below, sounds like the real thing to me. Yes, there's a lot of R&B sampling in there, ...

At first I kind of made fun of GarageBand on the iPad because I never thought anyone could make truly compelling music on a touch device. That's all changed after I saw Cult of Mac point out George Lambro's guitar solo on the iPad. I'll let the music speak for itself, but I will say this is how ...

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 ...
