    Replacing Paper: A Look at 10 iPad Reading Apps

    Posted 04/07/2010 at 1:29pm | by jamor

    Comment
    With the announcement of iBooks and its 60,000+ in-app downloads, Apple set the standard for the iPad as an important reading device, and luckily, other developers heard the calling. Several worthwhile reading applications are now available, with many putting their paper counterparts to shame with vivid artwork, embedded video, and interactive elements. Still unsure of whether the iPad can kick some of your traditional print reading habits to the curb? We've already given iBooks its own full review, but here's a look at some of the other initial reading offerings on the iPad.

    Hyperbolic Software Tidy Up

    In an ideal world, our Macs would be impeccably organized, not stuffed with old versions of Word docs and umpteen copies of the Beastie Boys’ “Hey Ladies.” Hyperbolic’s Tidy Up offers powerful tools for identifying (and dispatching) duplicate files, helping us get closer to that ideal Mac by sorting and disposing of unneeded bytes.

    MacSpeech Dictate

    Comments
    The last time I dared to dabble in dictation software was about 15 years ago, and even allowing for how that software only ran on a Windows box, the whole experience was extraordinarily cumbersome. But after using Dictate for only five minutes, the improvements in the technology since then are starkly apparent. It’s not perfect, but the dream of quickly turning spoken words into editable text has certainly progressed.

    Roxio Popcorn 4

    For something that looks roughly the same wherever it’s played, video sure comes in a lot of formats. Online videos, including YouTube’s, are often Flash (FLV or F4V) files, while DVDs contain the Video_TS structure, TiVo shows get wrapped in their own proprietary MPEG-2 format, your camcorder captures clips in AVCHD--and the list keeps going. You shouldn’t need to know any of this to play and watch video, which is where Popcorn steps in. Roxio’s software imports these and other formats and compresses them for use on an AppleTV, iPhone, PS3, YouTube, DVD, and more. While it occasionally stumbles, the app comes in handy more often than it disappoints.

    Internet radio offers options well beyond the powers of old-fashioned broadcasting, but something’s still missing--that’s because many music apps don’t go the extra mile themselves to let you record internet-radio streams. Radio Gaga plays and records thousands of stations, but the more you try to do with it, the more you’ll only hear static.

    Your Mac’s Finder is probably one of the last things you ever think about. It’s just kind of there, doing pretty much the same stuff it always has. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Path Finder from Cocoatech takes Finder’s basic functions and adds in tons of new features that will appeal to average users and Mac geeks alike.

    Hyperbolic Software iTunes Dupes Barrier

    Comments
    Queen’s ubiquitous “We Will Rock You” is a tune that will always rock the sixth-inning rally, but when it’s on repeat for 25 minutes because of duplicate copies in your iTunes library, it’s time to do some spring cleaning. iTunes Dupes Barrier helps you quickly seek out and destroy duplicate tracks, and it’s a bit more flexible than iTunes’ built-in functionality.

    Don’t panic, but one way or another, data loss and troublesome software updates will happen. Regular Time Machine backups help protect your Home folder from these hazards, but missing or messed up system files can prevent your Mac from running properly or even starting up. And who wants to perform tedious reinstalls? Snow Leopard’s installer is great and all, but seeing it once was enough.

    iTunes 9’s Home Sharing lets you drag-and-drop content between up to five computers on your home network after you tie each to your iTunes Store account. SuperSync obliterates Home Sharing’s limitations, letting you sync and share music and videos between as many machines as you like, either over the local network or the wide-open Internet.
