iFiles Now iPad-compatible with MobileMe, Google Docs and Facebook Support

iFiles is one of the most popular file manager apps for iPhone. Actually, it’s more than a simple file manager: it’s a document viewer, a voice recorder, a wifi drive and a text editor. And, unlike other similar apps, it’s got a great looking icon and a clean interface design.

iFiles is one of the best executed, feature-rich productivity apps of its kind I’ve seen in the App Store. Now, it’s iPad compatible, too.

OLED “iPad Nano” Still in the Works?

This is one of those rumors that will never completely die. I mean, who cares about a smaller iPad? Isn’t the current one the perfect size? It seems like people are interested in an “iPad Nano”, something between an iPhone and - well - an iPad. A fourth market, if you want.

App Store Password Caching Causing Unintentional Purchases?

So you have a kid right? Then I’m sure you’ve done this a lot or have had this happen at least once: You download an innocent game to keep them busy, handed them your iPhone, and let them have at it.

Apple Targeting ‘Other’ Tablet Shoppers?

Interested in the mythical HP Slate, the compact Dell Streak, an Android powered micro-tablet, or something called a Netpad? Why not try an iPad?

While I wasn’t able to reproduce the advertising on Google.com, TechCrunch is right when they say that Google.co.uk results show iPad Google AdWords when you search for any of the above terms. I don’t know what Apple has to fear from the European market; the Dell Streak and gimmicky Android tablets shouldn’t pose a threat to Cupertino’s empire. I suppose it’s better to be safe than not, but it’s kind of an interesting tactic when the iPad is only the most popular thing on earth besides the iPhone 4.
