"We've spent the day downloading and experimenting with various apps, some of which behave just like full-fledged, existing desktop software (such as StuffIt Expander and iPhoto), and others that function more like widgets and/or iPad apps (such as Twitter).In the meantime, we've outlined our top 10 picks below. We've more or less skipped those that already had a desktop application available, unless the app version was significantly discounted."

"In the spirit of Thomas Jefferson, legislative information from the Library of Congress." You can track current activity on the House and Senate Floors, find out what has passed Congress and has been sent to the President, etc.
