Here it is Labor Day weekend and you are probably going to spend some time enjoying that extra day off, getting ready for school, or getting your kids ready for school. And since it’s a long weekend, why not dust off that iPad and grab a few things you will definitely enjoy. But don’t take our word for it. These are some top iPad apps that your very own peers have continually rated at #1 for the iPad.
If you use Twitter and you have an iPad then you know that there are a ton of really great Twitter apps. In fact, you may have tried a few (or more than that). Well today the official Twitter app is released and we are extremely impressed so far. Here’s why.
Well, much like it sounds, a disruptor is something that changes things. It disrupts the status quo. You have probably seen or experienced them before actually. The iPod was a disruptor. iTunes was also a disruptor. The automobile was a disruptor. The Internet was a disruptor.
And the iPad is a disruptor as well.
I am writing this article because of a few iPad “events” that have happened in the past few weeks. First off, I want to point out that disruptors are not a bad thing. Taken in context they can actually be one of the best things a company does. But let’s see if you agree.
Have you ever used the now famous Audubon Field Guides? If you haven’t, then you are really missing out on an amazing resource. These books have traditionally provided hikers, explorers, teachers and students with valuable information about every kind of mammal, wildflower, bird and tree in North America. Now this amazing resource is available for the iPad.
Your iPad is more than just a device for reading email, surfing the web and viewing photos. It can also be your own private piano tutor. Perhaps you have always wanted to learn to play the piano, but you did not have the time to get lessons. As luck would have it, there are some smart developers out there making it possible anyone to learn to play piano – and today that can be you!
We don’t have any details beyond this yet but, this is great news for all of us iPad owners. We will be doing full reviews of all these new features as soon as it’s available in November.
Today (September 1, 2010) is a very special day for Shelf Media Group and it’s an even better day for iPad magazine readers. Shelf Media Group is launching their first all-digital iPad magazine, Shelf Unbound, that focuses on what’s next in independent publishing. We gave a sneak preview of Shelf Unbound a few weeks ago but today they officially launch and it’s something you’ll want to check out.
It’s almost that time again to get ready for school. You have your iPad and your upcoming class schedule. You have everything ready to go and it’s time to start thinking about studying. No one really likes to study and take tests, but, with your iPad it can actually be enjoyable. In the app store of over 250,000 apps we pulled out 10 that you don’t want to be without for school. These are useful whether you are in grade school, high school or college. Looking at this list I can only wish I had an iPad when I was in school!
Congratulations goes out to two TCGeeks readers, AJ and Scott, who won our Brenthaven bags that we reviewed. Their names were drawn from the comments (randomly) and their bags are on their way. We want to thank everyone that commented and let you know that we will be doing more of these as opportunities come up with accessories (and apps).
In the meantime, you can visit Brenthaven‘s and see their amazing products. They are on twitter (@brenthavennews) as well. I don’t work for them – but I sure do love their products. Here is what I am still using on a daily basis for my Macbook and iPad (plus accessories): The Brenthaven Metrolite BP.

If there are two things that help make the iPad useful it would be helping you balance your checkbook and then setting up a plan for paying off your debt. Ideally, these go hand in hand since getting your checkbook balanced means that you can then focus on a pay off plan for any loans you might have. Here are two ways to do that.
