You may have thought that your shiny iPad was just for the humans in your household…apparently not.
StuckOnEarth – iPad
Posted by gavomatic57 in iOS, Photography, Software, Utilities on November 17, 2011
Whilst there are some great photos on Flickr, I think it is fair to say that the website has seen better days. It’s awash with Flash-based slide shows, a clunky and ugly interface and it still lacks a native iPad app. This is a shame, because the wealth of geotagged images on Flickr would make [...]
Zeebox – iPad

It is really no surprise that watching TV these days is often accompanied by a laptop and your favourite social network. A survey conducted by Nielsen found that 42% of Americans who use tablets and 40% of smartphone owners were glued to them while watching TV. 75% of UK TV watchers are also glued to the internet whilst watching TV.
The New 500px iPad App
Posted by gavomatic57 in iOS, Photography, Utilities on October 18, 2011
If you don’t know what 500px is, you’d best check out my overview here. In short, it’s a relatively new photo sharing site with an emphasis on quality and building a portfolio to be proud of. As a result the calibre of the images you will find on there are in a different league to those you’ll find on Flickr, at least most of the time anyway.
Anyway, to help iPad users get the best out of 500px there is now a dedicated iPad app. It’s a free app with a clean, simple interface and is really quite beautiful. It makes browsing the cream of the 500px crop a breeze and is equally excellent for showing off your own efforts.
Pages for iOS

I’ve been playing with Pages on the iPad and I think I like what I see! I really love the way Pages on the Mac handles pictures, it simply wipes the floor with MS Word. Pages on the iPad behaves in a similar sort of way but being able to manipulate images with your fingers [...]
The iPad on contract…part 2…or Three…

Well, as I said in a previous post, no sooner had Orange announced that they were going to offer a subsidised iPad, Three followed suit.

Orange recently announced that they were going to sell the ipad at a lower price but attached to a data plan. Shortly after that, Three announced that they were going to launch a similar deal.
As it happens, Orange have just announced their prices, but I’ll focus on the cheapest option for now.
Tethered shooting with the iPad

An enterprising photographer has managed to tether his Canon 5D Mk2 to his iPad…

Apple iPad
Posted by gavomatic57 in Internet, Odds & Ends, Photography on June 2, 2010
Took a wander into town earlier today and made the mistake of taking a slight detour to the Apple store for a look at the iPad. I fear this may have been a mistake because now I really want one.
Much has been said about the iPad and how it “is just a big ipod touch” and whilst that is technically true (ish), it is missing the point somewhat.
