Speaking of music apps for the iPad, take a look at this video. A group of musicians recreated the 80’s hit “Eye of the Tiger” using only iPad apps (such as Pianolo and Pocket Drums) and then photographer Jordan Hollender shot a great video of the “performance” using Canon EOS 5D Mark II and a Canon EOS 7D.

Musicians Recreate “Eye of the Tiger” Using Only iPad Apps [Video]
SoundPrism for iPad Will Blow Your Mind
There are many music apps available for the iPad, especially DJ ones. Great apps, which sport a stunning attention to UI design and rather “professional” features. I bet you haven’t seen anything like SoundPrism by Audanika, though.
SoundPrism will let you “create music” in a different way: you can’t do nothing wrong with it. It always sounds great. So what’s the point? The point is how you create that music: with multi-touch and a beautiful interface specifically designed for the iPad and with iPad users in mind.
Really, just take a look at the video below. The app has been submitted to the App Store, but you can follow @audanika to stay updated. We can’t wait.

Time Warner Cable Prototype iPad App [Video]
Time Warner Cable is working on an official application for the iPad, not publicly available yet, and they’re showing it off in a series of videos where TWC CEO Glenn Britt, CTO Mike LaJoie, VP of Web Services Jason Gaedtke and Director of Digital Communications Jeff Simmermon discuss the future of their online services and the possibilities that new devices like the iPad create for content publishers.
Even in its early development stages, the app looks good. It embeds a TV guide, and allows you to schedule recording with a few taps. Another section of the application lets you stream content to the iPad, but it’s still unknown whether the first version of the application will allow you to sync the status of your watched shows across multiple devices.
Check out the video below, and find other vides of the discussions here, here, and here. [via Engadget]
Square Enix Releases Chaos Rings for iPad
I’ve been waiting for Chaos Rings to come to the iPad ever since I saw the first iPhone version and read some enthusiastic reviews here and there on the internet. Finally, last night Apple approved the “HD” version of Chaos Rings which comes to the tablet with a bigger resolution, a higher price and…that’s it. No new features, no additional stuff - it’s just a bigger version. But still, it’s Chaos Rings.
As for the game itself:
“The story revolves around a tournament where combatants fight for their lives: the Ark Arena. Upon choosing a pair of characters, one male and one female, you will then have to fight against the other pairs. Each pair has their own story, and the truth behind the Ark Arena will not be revealed until each story is completed.”
Chaos Rings is available at $15.99 in the App Store. Check out a gameplay video below.
An iPad, A Keg And A Custom Beer App [Video]
If you’re not into Yelp, this video will make you change your mind. The engineers over at Yelp have built a custom iPad-controlled “kegbot” which displays information about the beer, its temperature, how much beer is flowing (in real time) - it even has a history and leaderboard of people who took beer from that keg. Oh yes, because you have to swipe your ID card first and the iPad app will recognize you.
Fotopedia Heritage Delivers The Photographer’s Encyclopedia For Humanity
If you’ve never heard of Fotopedia, they’ve launched with the mission statement of building an encyclopedia for humanity where content is expressed through delicious photographs from all around the world. If you’ve ever browsed through photos via the iPad’s Guardian Eyewitness app or USA Today’s Day in Pictures, think of Fotopedia Heritage having a similar purpose, but with the intent of providing detailed, wiki/encyclopedia-like information along with a wealth of geo and historical data. It’s really remarkable.
OmniFocus for iPad Reinvented My GTD Workflow
To me, GTD apps used to be worse than Twitter clients on the iPhone before Tweetie: ephemeral.
Yes, even worse than financial apps: I didn’t know how to choose one and keep rolling with it. You know - that new kid on the block could be better and has a beautiful UI. You know the drill. I was a GTD user who couldn’t manage to find an actual GTD to get going with. To better understand the situation, it’s important to specify the workflow I used to have, and the one I have now. Before the iPad came out, I organized all my tasks and projects on my Mac (whether in a desktop app or online service) and didn’t really care about achieving a cloud-based workflow. I had an iPhone (a 3GS, to be exact) but I just didn’t see it as a device to carry my GTD database around. I tried Things, iCal to-dos, Basecamp, Backpack - all sorts of productivity apps / project management tools out there. None of them survived.
The Incident
When Matt Comi and friends Neven Mrgan and Cabel Sasser set out to create a one of a kind experience on the iPhone and iPad, they not only succeeded in delivering something that met everyone’s expectations: they knocked it out of the park.
The iPhone, iPad Controlled Massage Chair You Want to Have
I’m sure Steve Jobs has upgraded his squeaky office chair for the Human AcuTouch 9500 by now. Not only does it automatically adjust to all those tender spots on your delicate body, it remembers how you like to lounge and transitions any susceptible being into a state of orgasmic relaxation. I’m not kidding when I say this is the most advanced lawn chair/massage ornament in existence.
