Flight+ Review – Flight Tracking app for iPad

Alan Cole — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 08:28:14 +0000

Not being a seasoned traveller I’ve never had the need for any flight tracking apps on my iPad but with an impending trip to New Zealand on the horizon I thought I’d check some out and ended up using Flight+, a really clever app designed to track and manage flights all around the world. It’s really...

Geocaching with GeoBucket

Alan Cole — Sat, 18 Aug 2012 11:05:39 +0000

After our visit to the Silver Mountain Experience on Thursday, we pulled out the iPad and decided to test a new (to me) gecoaching app that we have. It’s called Geo Bucket and I downloaded it because I was looking for a new app that we could use offline for gecoaching, specifically whilst in New...

iOS5 Review

Alan Cole — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:43:52 +0000

I’ve just written a post containing a long term review of the iPad now that we’ve lived with it for almost a year, so I thought I’d also write some thoughts on the recent upgrade to iOS5. iOS5 has some fundamental changes over the previous operating system and it did promise to address some of the...

Long Term iPad Review

Alan Cole — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:34:35 +0000

Well, it’s been getting on for a year since I’ve had my iPad, so, was it a flash in the pan that kept me amused last Christmas or has it become an essential part of my life? And, has the recent release of iOS5 made any difference? Intimate and Sociable Well, the first question is...

Calorie Counting and Diet Tracking apps on an iPad – Review

Alan Cole — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 06:46:51 +0000

Whilst eating a large steak and chips and a sticky toffee pudding with ice cream the other day I got into a conversation with some friends about the amount I eat. Basically they were all pretty amazed by how much I could consume. Now, I’m not fat, I’m around 5’7″ and 70kg which puts me...

iPad 2 – Any reason to upgrade?

Alan Cole — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 09:24:22 +0000

Well, the iPad 2 has been officially launched and will be out in the UK later in March. We’ve had an iPad since Christmas now and use it every day. The whole family uses it and we love it. I’ve already written an iPad review so won’t go into what we use it for here...

Christmas iPad Rumour

Alan Cole — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 09:35:23 +0000

I’ve just heard a rumour about the Apple iPad that hasn’t been heard anywhere else on the web before! No, it’s not that it will have a forward facing camera making it FaceTime compatible, that’s almost guaranteed. It’s not that it will have the Retina display or even that it will have a dual core...

Preparing for my iPad – Google Mail and Calendar

Alan Cole — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 09:45:09 +0000

I still don’t know if I’m going to get an iPad yet or wait for iPad 2.0, but I thought I’d start preparing for it anyway. At the moment I tend to work from my desktop iMac and therefore only occasionally need to access e-mails and such like from other computers. When I do need...

iPad Launch Delayed

Alan Cole — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 08:08:06 +0000

I’ve yet to decide whether or not to get an iPad, but it looks as though I’ve a little more time to make up my mind (and save up some money). Apple have announced that they are delaying the international launch of the iPad until the end of May, in order to meet US demand...
