"There are page turner Magazines on the iPad that are basically PDF versions of the print version. Becoming more popular are the magazines that have hot spot areas, video, scrollable articles and inter magazine linking. While these interactive magazines are being produced by large magazine publishers once a month, Engadget is creating their full featured content "Dristo" weekly. Grab the app and you will get an overview page of all of the 'magazines' published. Tap the ones you want to download and read within the same app."

"Until recently, we have always had a big bowl of Legos on the conference room table. They are great to 'toy' with when waiting for folks to gather rather than have our noses buried in our mobile device screens. There are folks that can look at a pile of Legos and see a fire engine waiting to be built. There is the rest of us that see a lot of fun lockable color blocks."

" A common tie between all these apps is Readability. The company provides a method to show content of Web site posts on the iPad without all of the extra distractions you have to sort through when viewing via a Web Browser. Now, Readability has released a Universal app for your iPad and iPhone. With the free app on our iPads, we need to examine how our time is best spent."

"Getty Images has put together a rather extensive iPad eBook which they are providing for you to enjoy for at no charge. The eBook, Year in Focus, is more than a collection of photos from 2011. The eBook covers many subjects: politics, sports, international, etc… even pages of photos of folks we lost in 2011."

"For the iPad there is a great timer/stopwatch app called Minu Timer. This universal free app needs no instructions (although it does include a start up 'how to use' page appearing on your first launch). The interface is simple and the user experience proves that a well written app will let users jump right in and get started. A lack of buttons and excessive tuning options keeps things uncluttered and removes the need to tap through to layers of screens."

"If your a Pinterest fan, you fun just became 'more fun'. If your not a fan of the service, you have to appreciate the user experience of the whole Pinterest viewing and sharing user interface."

"The free app, KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese "Dinner, Not Art." offers you not only macaroni to place and move around, but also you can color those noodles. Much easier than having to have all those little Dixie cups on the table, each with their own colors."

"Now, the Muppets come to cards you can create and email on the iPad."
