Android – Iphone – Applications

Fun apps designed for kids that also impart some form of education, especially music, can be valuable to tech-savvy parents.

Kiboomu Publishing’s Old MacDonald Piano is their second interactive piano app for young children. The first, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star Storybook Piano is created in a near-identical style that was quite well-developed, but Old MacDonald Piano may not have been given the same attention. Nevertheless it’s still engaging, highly interactive and contains the same four modes, and at least it provides a new song to play and learn.(…)

Rumors are floating around the interwebs that Apple might currently be testing a touchscreen display for a future iMac. According to a report by DigiTimes, Sintek Photronics has sent samples of touch panels to Apple for what would be a new touchsreen all-in-one iMac desktop computer.

Now DigiTimes has been wrong so many times before that you can’t really tell if this rumor is well funded or not. However, this is not the first time we hear about a possible touchscreen iMac, which will inevitably be released one day or the other… Read More

I’m not sure what it is, but something about the iPad just screams “cork board.” Maybe it’s because the iPad is the perfect size for a little note/ picture collection center. Whatever the reason, cork board apps have been fairly popular on the iPad, and Corkulous seems to stand out from the crowd.

Not resting on their laurels though, the team at Appigo has updated Corkulous to add sharing and cork board templates, two additions that are definitely appreciated.

Board sharing in Corkulous can be done by either using the entire board, a specific view of the board, or just a collection of selected items. These items can be shared via email, placed in a website for download via mobile Safari, or sent via iTunes File Sharing.

The new template feature makes it possible for users to make Corkulous templates for common uses. Appigo uses a college student as an example, as they could make a note taking template for daily lectures.

“Corkulous works extremely well on the iPad and weʼve been getting great reviews from customers,” said Calvin Gaisford, Appigoʼs CEO. “Weʼre excited to see what kinds of new uses Corkulous board sharing brings to the iPad.”

Be sure to download the 1.6 update (out now), and if you don’t have the app yet, pick it up and save a cork tree.

BIT.TRIP BEAT
Namco has decided it was high time to take the game of Pong, fuse it together with interactive beats, put a pretty coat of paint on it all, and push it out to iOS devices. You decide if tilt controls work best, or if you like touching the screen as you move a paddle up and down to bounce beats back to where they came from. Crazy scores, fun retro visuals, and four-player action make this a splendid addition to your gaming collection.
