A classic. "Nice software!"

Would be my favorite newsreader for the iPad, if it didn't crash so often.

Elegantly designed with a unique model. As someone who wants to share everything with everyone, though, the built-in constraints seem silly.

Revolutionary. And free. Helped my business partner and I do brisk business at two craft fairs. Had we been 'cash only' as many vendors were, we would've done less than half the business we did.

One of the most recommended apps among my geek friends. But I find I can't even keep up with the hundreds of feeds I already follow, let alone get around to a "read this later" library.

A neat way to browse photos on Facebook and Flickr, developed by a Hawaii company.

For a quick panorama, a fun gimmick. But the images are too wonky for anything more than casual sharing. With more time and $2.99, AutoStitch can give you almost professional grade panoramas.

A great film with great performances.

It's ridiculous that Apple didn't include its standard Calculator app (which comes with every iPhone) on the iPad. As a free app, this works reasonably well.

Seems ridiculous that Facebook isn't releasing its own app, but if you need one, this is the way to go. I still find myself simply launching Safari and browsing Facebook over the web more often than not.

My cat wasn't interested, and I'm thankful. The app was designed to trick your cat in to spending your money via in-app purchases.

A fantastic series that we completely missed because we were wholly consumed with "LOST." Like many great shows, it was too unique to last, and was canceled before its time. Definitely worth checking out... and I have my fingers crossed for the comic book sequel!

I used to geocache with an expensive, dedicated Garmin GPS handheld. Now it's an app alongside other apps that help me explore my everyday world. A bit pricey for what it does, but... it's hard to put a price on the great outdoors.

A word puzzle game by a Hawaii developer. Think "Scramble" with movable tiles. The design is pretty rough, but it's still brainy fun.

I love photo apps, but the 'tilt shift' effect is one that never really spoke to me. Somehow filters are fun to me, but faking a specific lens effect makes me want to pick up a real camera. Still, it seems to be in the arsenal of many of my friends, so I'll give it a try.

Easily one of my favorite movies of 2010. With a daughter that just turned 13, it resonated. And I think I might watch this with her.

Bought this for an unexpected trip to Seoul, and it kept me powered up all day. It'll be a lifesaver at Comic Con!

Brings the extensive original content generated by one of Hawaii's most web savvy travel firms together in one place. If you love Hawaii, totally worth the price: free!

In a world where Evernote exists, there doesn't seem to be much point. But, I used to love OneNote when I used a first-generation HP tablet computer almost a decade ago. Thought I'd give it another shot. Instead, the app doesn't even work.

A favorite podcast of my wife and I, and once a week is not enough. Bought it for the "extras," and they've been fun!
