Six Book Cases for iPad That Deserve Space on Your Shelf

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Switching from hard cover books to ebooks means more than just having to re-buy your entire collection of Nancy Drew mystery novels. For many bibliophiles it feels like the end of an era. Reading may be considered a brainy activity, but it’s also a tangible experience—from the feel of the paper and the weight in your hand to that distinctive smell that comes as our favorite books age. The move to digital means letting go of a big part of what makes books books. There is a need to be filled here, and iPad case makers have carved out a nice niche with book-quality cases that look and feel just like the real thing.

Get Your Media Messaging Groove On with RingJam

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

iPhone enthusiasts with limited texting plans may get a kick out of RingJam , a free multi-media texting app from Emotive Communications. RingJam lets users quickly send pictures, audio and music previews to their friends and contacts. There are also options to send invites, create polls, and ask for quick responses like “call me” or “yes/no/maybe” answers to quick questions.

Yet by using RingJam, the ability to send and receive media messages is all in one place and over a Wi-Fi connection, it doesn’t count against texting or data limitations.(…) Read the rest of Get Your Media Messaging Groove On with RingJam AppCraver.com, 2010. | Get Your Media Messaging Groove On with RingJam | Best iPhone Applications | Top iPhone Apps
