Thule Atmos X3 for iPad Air 2 – Review

A few months ago, I learned that Thule, a company I always knew for cycling gear, makes iPhone and iPad cases. I ordered a case for my iPhone 6 and loved it. When I decided to get an iPhone SE, I didn’t have to think hard about a case — it was a Thule Atmos. It has become my number one iPhone case. Based on my iPhone experience, I was very excited for the opportunity to review the Thule Atmos X3 for iPad Air 2.

Dragon Anywhere for iOS – Review

Since the release of IBM’s ViaVoice (bonus points to you who know what I’m on about) I have been following the progress of speech recognition over recent years. I’ve been a long time user of Dragon Dictate from Nuance and I use voice recognition on my Mac, courtesy of Dragon Dictate 5, on a daily basis.

PhotoPresenter app – Review

PhotoPresenter is an app with a very specific, niche purpose. It allows you to wirelessly display the photos from your iDevice on a second screen via AirPlay. If you are a presenter or if you want to show your photos via Apple TV, this is a great solution.

Sydnee Charging Station – Review

Chargers for all of our various iDevices are a necessary evil. One is in the kitchen but it’s for the iPad, another is in the bedroom but it’s only for the iPhone. Then there’s a charger in the den but it’s already in use by another family member. Frustrating.

Nuance Paperport Notes – Review

There are many applications that do word processing but this one from Nuance goes further than most. It actually lets you take advantage of dictation on your iPad. Considering Nuance brought us Dragon dictation, it is not surprising dictation transcription is part of the application but it is integrated very well.

Chasing Yello iOS Game – Review

Chasing Yello is by far the most addictive game I have ever come across, on any platform. At first I looked upon it as a quick game to pick up when I had a few spare minutes. The reality is those few minutes turned into hours, and then days. Before I knew it I was thoroughly consumed with a game that features a demonic girl, named Mathilda, and her goldfish Yello.

Take Control of iTunes 10: The FAQ, Second Edition – Review

Okay, okay, I’m convinced! I need an iPad! Trying to read a 170-page PDF file on a laptop or desktop monitor is suckiness of the highest order! I promise’”next big bonus (yes, business at my employer’s has improved to the point that we’re seeing bonuses again, and if this first small one is any indication, the next one should get me real close to a new Retina Display iPad). I will not do another electronic book review until I get an iPad!
