I'm curious if they will get removed soon, as CBS seems to have no tolerance for anyone even remotely using its property.

Most of those Trek related Apps seem to have been up for awhile - at least for now.

Hey, I may have asked this before, but is there any type of file manager App for the iPad. I do wish I could delete comics, videos, etc. right on the iPad in their respective apps rather than connecting the device to my PC, and deleting them via iTunes.

Anyone ever try: GoAruna, or ReAddle Docs, or Zen viewer for their iPad??

GoodReader is one of the best, if not THE best. Its constantly being updated by the developers with new and free features so $4.99 is a great bargain. I personally use it for the ease of use, its connection to Appigo's Todo and the built-in auto-sync features.
Zen Viewer has a greater emphasis on UI and visuals, but since it is new, it is fairly lacking and so far hasn't been updated since its initial release. It does not have an auto-sync feature, (though it does connect to some cloud services). Its PDF-reader is also very lacking in comparison, but GoodReader was built with some amazing PDF capabilities so its a bit unfair I suppose.
The other two you mentioned I have not used.

I'm pretty sure you can delete anything without connecting to itunes. I know in Cloudreaders if you slide your finger across a title you'll get a delete option, just like deleting emails. To delete a video hold your finger over the icon and you'll get an X in the top left corner.

Got this new App last night from Wacom called Bamboo paper. Fun little drawing program. Free app until the end of June. Here's a 2 minute drawing I did - with my finger!

I heard about this app, I know Wacom is selling a stylus to go along with it, though I hear the reviews of the Boxwave stylus are better.

Rico · June 28, 2011, 01:20:14 PM

I just got the Boxwave stylus from Amazon and it's nice. I didn't try it with this App yet, but I will. I do like the Boxwave A LOT better than the Pogo style sold in the Apple stores (which I returned).

Hey, just wanted to let folks know that EA games seems to be having a big App sale right now. Lots of stuff is now only $0.99. I just bought Monopoly for my iPad. Catch the deals while you can.

billybob476 · July 04, 2011, 04:08:31 AM

Yeah I bought Scrabble. The cool thing about this game is if you have an iPhone, you can download a free companion app that lets you use your phone as your letter tray. You flick your tiles from the phone on to the iPad.

Rico · July 04, 2011, 05:32:25 AM

I almost got Scrabble too. Maybe I'll still grab it for that price. I think these games were at $4.99 and up before this sale.

I downloaded a fun little game called Tiny Tower. you basically construct a building one floor at a time putting in apartments for people to live and various types of businesses for the people to work in. Very simple game that's pretty entertaining!

That game sounds like a browser based game I have heard of before. I might have to check that app out.

It definitely reminds me of a simpler version of SimTower. Used to play that game a ton!

I'm playing Tiny Tower myself, its a bit of fun. :)

Btw Rico, Billybob what's your gamecenter name?
