what's up YouTube jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo here there are a ton of ipad apps that have come out from devices released just a few days ago I wanted to share with you some of my favorite and show you what I've been using on a regular basis and as the device sort has been out longer and longer and more apps get released I'll do an update to this video let's go ahead and get started the first application that I use quite a bit is the kindle application I'm a big reader and it gives me an opportunity to get a chance to read all my books I downloaded on my Kindle to which is now completely irrelevant here i'm reading superfreakonomics I which is a fantastic book go back home and get access to the full kindle store which actually doesn't pull up a store actually launches amazon's website show you what that looks like and you can go ahead and download book with your credit card just as you would on amazon com and they get delivered right to the kindle application you don't get the fancy animation when you turn pages like you do in iBooks but it's a very capable ereader the next application i download this doesn't actually come on the device is I books soon as you launch the app store on the iPad it prompts you to download it but when you buy it and turn it on it's not going to be there it is another ereader with certain some cool animations this is the one that Apple actually built at the library sir it looks pretty neat with the virtual bookshelf and it's got a store very reminiscent of the app store or iTunes go ahead and buy books prices are a little bit higher here than they are on the kindle store under releases generally her about 12 99 as opposed to 999 from amazon so we'll go ahead and keep going on pages is one of the applications I've actually found myself using quite a bit this is a word processing program this is apple's answer i gets to a microsoft word but this sort of mobilized for the ipad you could pick all the templates that you want we'll go ahead and take a blank one and it's a relatively full featured word processing program you get the body bold underline italicize you can choose the text layout insert pictures you can do have quite a bit amount of word processing on here and you can actually pair the ipad with a bluetooth keyboard so you can type up a full paper or report whatever you need to do right on your ipad there's also a spreadsheet and a presentation application as well let's go ahead and keep moving along on netflix awesome awesome awesome application gives you full access to all of Netflix's on-demand content the same stuff that you'd get on your xbox or ps3 or now we you can watch right here so here are some comedies Ghostbusters to go ahead play and it authorizes it and just starts playing it's fantastic HD quality if you have a good internet connection I'm just works and is really broaden the appeal of the iPad beyond the native applications and turns it into a full media player you can see that things just start playing right there and you can rotate it and watch it in landscape mode they actually saw how quickly a full hour and 48 minute movie queued up so go ahead and get out of Netflix hearing access to movies TV shows a ton of really cool stuff I'm speaking of streaming video another really great application is ebc player this one actually gives you access to a tongue of EBT content including others last night episode of lost V Dancing with the Stars a ton of other shows go ahead and pick what you want and you go ahead and start playing it so there's a cougar town you go ahead and just hit play and it starts playing you get a few commercials and it'll play in widescreen streaming content so there you go you can go ahead and full screen or come back so this is the EBT puller and stay free download I should mention the Kindles free pages i believe is 999 Netflix is free assuming you have a netflix subscription that you have to pay for ABC players free facebook application is the same facebook app that is for the iphone it's just enlarged quite a bit and yours may be able to see that i'm a big reader i love my newspapers so I've got the Wall Street Journal application here now this has been a bit ki the application itself is free but if on a subscription can run you anywhere from four to two dollars per month to rent an article on TechnoBuffalo about how to get this for two dollars a month actually doing a certain of a promotion right now so check out TechnoBuffalo com if you want that information so we can go ahead and pick newspapers you can go back to just about a week so this is today's paper and actually if there's been new articles they've been posted sort of things that are going on since the paper went to print so go ahead and pick one you can access this content actually when you don't have a Wi-Fi connection assuming it's already downloaded and it looked just like the regular paper you can scroll through pick an article you want to read it opens up and some ads do pop up like right there you can go ahead and do sections so marketplace and a reading is actually very easy to do on the ipad i thought i was gonna get a bit of eye strain from the screen that has not been the case it's been a very nice experience so this is a Wall Street Journal free application New York Times editor's choice sort of they pull out what they think are is the best content of the day and they sort of push it out to the application here and it works very similarly to the application we just saw the wall street journal you can scroll through pick an article that you like I look here you don't get access to all the content like I said just the editor's choice and go back to news pick your seconds at the bottom business technology opinion or features and next another free application USA Today another newspaper I don't always read all three of these times like pick and choose some content and this is a relatively similar looked like the USA Today you can go through you can pick your section by tapping USA Today money sports life and you go ahead and read an article that you like so here's one about exedy exec and some of the cool things about these e newspapers that some of them have videos embedded in it next you can watch the video right inside the article or they have more than one picture and he actually flipped through creates a bit of a more immersive environment if you want to go to the next page just sort of keep scrolling down so that is USA Today those some of the let's say more boring applications the periodicals so I've got some games on here as well smule the company that made ocarina also made a really cool app for the iPad called magic piano this is made just for the ipad let me show you what this looks like so I don't need to allow at my location essentially I can't play the piano I was on blessed with any musical ability for the sort of fun just play around with da da da da nunno and we see how many fingers response the multiplex yeah I've got now 10 and they're all responding at once you can sort of play the piano I have no musical ability like I said but it sort of a fun way to play and mess around to get some more options you can compete with other people you can play a duet you can pick songs or solo or make a game out of it i just wrote a fun way to kill some time alright so go ahead and keep moving along go ahead and rotate this back the weather channel sort of some of the features that the ipad was missing that the iphone or ipod touch have as a weather app so enter the free weather channel which gives you just a ton of information let me show you what this looks like does take a little bit to launch so you get sort of a grid across the bottom you can view maps which well right here in irvine california at 78 degrees and sunny it's actually a gorgeous day outside I can get radar you can see rain actually can play some information about the weather which is kinda neat q ended up I'll show you what that looks like like I said this is a very full-featured application but it's not the quickest in the world you can see when you're on math to get local video service social and even the weather channel on TV so I'm going to go ahead and stop this so go ahead and check out local and we'll jump to right where we are right now irvine california you get to the next 36 hours you know what the weather is going to be like which is kind of neat and get a full hourly report right there 10-day forecast even play some video exceed there's some animations things start to move you can see it's going to rain over the weekend and little raindrops are moving around and go right to their radar if their web cams in the area stormwatch or even get to the weather channel on twitter and even some traffic video just weather videos and social you can talk to them on twitter not that big a deal but it is nice to know what the weather is so go ahead and jump out of that next I've got a I am or instant messaging program for the ipad it's just an instant messaging program nothing really to see it pulls in some social networking feeds I haven't really even used it but I guess it'll be nice to have also missing from the iphone is in use from stocks application actually the bloomberg app is one that I used on the iphone it really liked it a great way to manage your portfolio I haven't configured it yet for my portfolio this is what it looked like when you download it you get a lot of options here let's get an example of where it takes advantage of screen real estate you jump right to news you can see all different news go back and people it network indices you can pick one so Jones it's look like today's been the best day sort of teasing with 11,000 yeah you can rotate it and sort of get some more stock information if you hold your finger over and do this on the other one it pulled up more information and this will work too with all of your individual stocks so there's a lot of information to see here my stock equities commodities currencies bonds pod cash even go right to Bloomberg all right so let's go ahead and keep moving along with some of the apps skype it is exactly the same sky pack that you've seen on the iphone it's just enlarged great week so the next and sort of one of the I guess don't a flagship games that launched with the ipad was need for speed shift I think I'm gonna do a full video on ipad gaming let me show you briefly what this looks like go ahead and launch up and it's sort of one of the examples where I think it's a little bit loud the ipad is a positioning itself is a very nice gaming device sort of an eg capable screen and some beautiful graphics you get a really nice racing experience here so I get some music plays it's good we're gonna turn that down here so it's actually it's an accelerometer based game pretty decent graphics and you go ahead and just drive it's going to walk you through a bit of a tutorial all right you can see it I just turn turn it down rotate any way I want there's a brake pedal that I can tap to break and I just sort of turn graphics are actually really nice the steering wheel coming take an Xbox controller which is a bit weird a lot of fun I'll steer into a building C get some gauges on the top you can tap in different views it's a relatively fun game actually one that I've enjoyed playing so sort of shows what the power the ipad is going to have for gaming this is one of the first really high gap games has been released sort of in the coming months you can imagine developers get more access to it and come to our familiar that's only going to improve go ahead and exit that switch this back ok the next application is one that you may have seen demonstrated on technobuffalo it is a remote desktop actually let me access my desktop directly it's remote client Brandon did a full video demonstrating what it looks like it's pretty neat i'll go ahead and give you a quick demonstration here good launch it oh and it play and type in a password here and i can show you my computer so it's actually asleep right now but this is my desktop you can see the mouse moving right there actually does do multiple monitors wealth was asking for my password to go ahead and put it in I will do that so you guys can see what this looks like Brandon did a full video around if you want to show you that it works and actually works pretty well in you can stream video over this just kind of neat so we'll go ahead and exit out ok the next application is analytics HD lets me access google analytics n chily looks like google analytics on your ipad no need to what to show that next is a free game it's called tap tap radiation some of the games that I didn't think was going to be that fun i found myself sitting there playing with it for a much longer than I probably should have so go ahead and check new game and i'll show you how this works go ahead and win a pic track will all turn the volume down and get a date copyright with things here pic little medium because that's how i roll if you've seen any of the tap tap games tap tap revenge or evolution it'll be probably pretty familiar with essentially what you got to do these little balls come shooting down they go right into the circles and you gotta tap it right as it hits the circle you can sort of see the gist yeah and that is the end of the game there's music playing budget turned it off it's actually pretty fun game this way to kill some time another omission from the ipad is any built-in calculator so actually downloaded one here is 99 cents it's just a calculator you don't have any sort of scientific functionality but sometimes don't want to do simple math and then go ahead and do it right here you can rotate it and the whole thing just moves around you don't get any additional functionality the next application is a crew of a pretty cool drawing application actually created by one of the users on TechnoBuffalo it's called draw it and i believe it's about 299 you can pick drawing graph paper drawn a notepad will draw on graph paper go ahead and pick a color that you want to draw with to the blue you can pick guess whatever kind of graph paper that you want pick some pictures you have there you can draw right on your pictures you have saved and it's probably as you expect sort of a drawing application fun way to sort of doodle and pass the time so let's see how I can draw a 3d shape I just sort of pull up a fresh canvas here and just a fun way to do it'll think even guess probably be take some notes with your hand edge bump to bring I'm spoil it fresh page bring candy always you can remember to bring candy so those are sort of an overview of the applications that i have that i've downloaded rue the one that I used probably more than anything is twitterrific I know people prefer tweetdeck or the Twitter application this is the one that I prefer the most it just shows everything in one long list and on the ipad is huge and really easy to use so i definitely my preferred Twitter client of choice so you can't send pictures from here quite yet pictures that you may have saved on your library or suck over and it works when rotated as well you can view your all your tweets your messages your favorites or any of your @ replies go ahead and rotate that back so just a quick overview of all the applications that i have on my ipad and as sort of more come out and i start to learn more and play with more i will do an update video so did I miss any applications here there's some that I you must have that I haven't downloaded yet leave a video response or text response down below i'm really curious to really use
