I remember Loopt being one of the first apps out on the App Store, back when the iPhone's platform was first released.

TUAW's Daily App: Marble Mixer

by Mike Schramm (Aug 2nd, 2010)

AP News for iPad a missed opportunity

by Mel Martin (Apr 30th, 2010)

Having made most of my living in the news business, I'm pretty much a news junkie. As a result, I've loaded my iPad up with a lot of news applications so I can keep up throughout the day.
