iPad playtime! AKA: Pimp my iPad!

The past two days i've been working/playing with the SCSL iPad to get the reference/productivity apps ready for patron use! My only limit is that they had to be free apps. Also the way these iPads were set up, i could not test any of the apps yet.

Here are the ones from yesterday
My Congress - look up your members of Congress

pubMed on tap lite

Evernote - fun way to sync notes on web and computer, text/photo/audio notes

Newsweek for iPad - i don't know if we could use this since we have to pay 2.99 to add one on there. boo.

USA today - looks fantastic and a lot more free than the Newsweek.

The Wall Street Journal - Same deal as Newsweek

Fluent News Reader - News aggregate

Ted Mobile - not sure if this is the official one or not but it plays the TED talks

Here are the ones i found last night
Gale Access My Library
US Code
Nibbly Bits (more silly but still interesting)
HTML5 Reference Guide (will anyone be using this for code?)
Info-tech mobile
EncycloClip
City Slicker (Charleston visual tour)
iBrainstorm
Wikipanion or Simplepedia (which one will work better when dled?)
Astronomy Pic of the Day (NASA pictures)
Legal reference with Law Stack and Fastcase
ABC News

And today
Dragon Dictation
White and Yellow Pages
Wikihood

Hours worked Yesterday (2-5 and 9-10:30)
and today (3:30- 5) for a total of 6hrs
Total 28.5
