Within a few days of the announcement of the iPad, OmniGroup published a blog post declaring their intentions to fully support the iPad with all of the products. At the time, I still wasn’t sure the iPad would a great device for productive work, but they thought it was. And they were right. The two [...]
After a month with the iPad, I’ve found it’s more useful in my creative workflow than I imagined it would be. Here are my favorite apps on the iPad for my creative processes: SImplenote (iTunes) This is one of the two apps that makes the pad most useful for me. Simplenote is my primary writing [...]

That’s all it took to learn what it could do. When Kindle for iPhone was released, I was pleased. It doesn’t replace my Kindle, but it’s [...]
When Amazon announced that they were opening the Kindle up to developers, there was only one app I could imagine that would be useful on the Kindle: Instapaper. Never mind.
