Must Have iPad Games

There are already enough games taking advantage of the iPad 1,024-pixel.resolution touchscreen to create organic play interface and  visual  thrill  with  using new tablet  technology  now also  called the iPad Gamer  

The  following  are must-have for any iPad users recommend   for those  who get easily bored.

MultiPong for Ipad 


The HD graphic designs and the ultra-realistic physical engine will make you feel like playing on an real wooden board.  As an organic makeover of the old Atari Pong , it is gorgeous with snappy metallic paddles, wood panelling and shiny metal balls.
UP to four can play, with each defending his goal post and scoring power-ups to gain an advantage. Even thought there were four of us madly swiping away, the game took everything in its stride without signs of any lag. Take advantage of opponents who score the reserve paddle power-up by attacking them relentlessly.

One finger to control your paddle. Give your ball smooth effects and thwart the traps to win the game !
In Multiplayer mode, catch the bonuses, use the bumpers and beat your opponents.
In Solo mode, try to beat A.I computer and defeat Mr Monster, from standard skin to 8bits skin, or try to beat your score and share it through the Game Center.
Don't lose control of the ball !
Remember  to take out adjacent goal posts with a ball slice and try to enhance your shot velocity by scoring the energy paddle power-up.


Features:

-Realistic physical engine
-Game center: Leaderboard & Achievement

Plants Vs Zombies HD



The iPad version features the entire adventure mode as well as quick play mode which is unlockable after completion of adventure. The game takes full advantage of the touch interface, and size of the iPad giving you those absurd zombies and plants in great detail. Thankfully mini-games and survival mode are included adding to replayability, but only half of survival is included, and puzzle and Zen garden are left out completely. . There are 18 mini-games including the iPad specific buttered popcorn.

Six levels of survival mode are included, and there are 17 local achievements. The game features 11 multi-touch points. Plus there are the old stand-bys of 50 levels in adventure, 26 types of zombies, and 49 plants. I use all my fingers on the screen to pick, plant and dig against a wacky array of zombies, the game is hilarious and replay value is great with 18 mini game , a survival mode and achievement badges to collect.
 Know your type of  plants and load up on energy sources early (sunflowers and sun-shrooms ) it is especially useful for deviously difficult mini-games like ‘’bobsled bonanza’’ where the actions is frenzied and you need to blocks fast while you prep your garden against rapid fire onslaughts.


Football HD


it is classic foosball action here though there are only three rows of players to control. Instead of the traditional 1-2-5-3 foosball formation , you get 1-3-2 play against the Ipad or a friend
Ball control is though with the virtual poles especially when up against the maniac speed of the tablet’s computers at the hardest setting.
The game   provide all the features of a regular foosball table. There is single player against the computer or two player on the same iPad. There are three bars to control, and you can slide them, and spin them.

The controls  will definitely take awhile to get used to. You will never feel as in control as using a real table, Once you get the hang of it you will be able to pass the ball from one offensive player to the other, and hit in the goal quicker than the opponent can move their goalie . Moving and spinning your three different bars will become second nature, though be prepared for a steep learning curve. Since there are three bars of players you will only be able to control two of them, and the best way are your two index fingers.  Do not spin the poles, the board is too small and if you do, it can result in a own goal. Though it is not mentioned , up to six can play with everyone in control of one pole. Foosball HD gives you a digital version of the physical table as close as it could be to the real thing. With that said, it’s still much more tedious than the real thing, but presents fun in its own way


Mirror’s Edge

 In a city where information is heavily monitored, agile couriers called Runners transport sensitive data away from prying eyes. In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed and now you are being hunted.


 You are a Runner called Faith - and this innovative first-person action-adventure is your story.
With a never before seen sense of movement and perspective, you will be drawn into Faith’s world. A world that is visceral, immediate, and very dangerous. Live or die? Soar or plummet? One thing is certain, in this city, you will learn how to run
Imagine a world where communication channels are highly monitored and the movement of human traffic is closely watched. Mirror's Edge introduces you to Faith, a "runner" in this world. When Faith's sister gets framed for a murder she did not commit, Faith finds herself on the edge of the city, on the wrong side of the law.
Mirror's Edge delivers you straight into the shoes of this modern day heroine as she traverses the vertigo-inducing cityscape, engaging in intense combat, fast-paced chases and challenging puzzles. With a never-before-seen sense of movement and perspective, you are drawn into Faith's world.
It is all about getting from point A to B in the shortest possible time.
Things will get increasingly more frenzied when obstacles come at you hard and fast. It is not a very difficult game, but be prepared from some puzzlers.
Do practice is all it takes there is little combat and you get unlimited re-tries For trouble spots, memorise where they are an swipe them away like the champ you are.

Labyrinth 2 HD

The game looks amazing on the iPad whether it’s the brand new levels or even the old iPhone levels.  
This really takes advantage of the iPad screen real estate and accelerometer, Tilt to control the ball through a maze that is rigged with all manner of booby traps from magnets, merry-go-rounds, pinball bumpers and laser tripwires.


The 3D tilting effect is even more pronounced on the iPad adding to the overall felling of holding the actual wooden game in your hands. All of the levels are packed with detail with each object so well done from the sheen on the ball to the lasers and cannons.
A tilting game on the iPad is a big question mark, but really it all depends on the calibration.


The online level editor allows for nearly infinite replay ability as there are always new levels to download after you complete all the Illusion Labs ones (nearly 150). If you have friends with iPads then you can play some multiplayer which is enjoyable, but limits the potential matches.
As usual Illusion Labs knows how to fine tune these Apple devices. It seems like you’re actually holding the wooden Labyrinth board in your hands.Play steady hands, to beat the maze time,  keep a lookout for shortcuts like a narrow band of space between two holes. It is tough to negotiate, but it can shave your timing by half.


Words With Friends HD
Words With Friends is a crossword game that lets you play up to 20 games simultaneously, with your friends or random palyers and inform  you when it’s your turn.



 It’s like Scrabble, but you play your turn when you’re ready. It is  definitely far better than the official Scrabble game, this game lets you show off your lexicography prowess to vocabulary-challenged friends.
It has a different layout from Scrabble , but the same gameplay and strategy apply. Rack up points on the board and trash talk your opponent using the built-in chat feature.
You can play against friends or strangers over the internet or face-off in the real world by passing the iPad back and forth.

The large screen makes it easier to place tiles and fumble with you rack for your next killer word.
The HD version has the same gameplay functionality as its sibling but with an entirely redesigned interface especially for the iPad’s far superior screen. The iPad version will get all of your account information from the iPhone version and the game will be compatible between both. This means even if your best friend hasn’t managed to get themselves an iPad, you can still beat them   to your hearts content.As it a turn-based game with a generous time-limit literally days- you can take your time. For beginners, try playing an attrition game by placing game words, lengthwise, alongside your opponent’ so form lots of two-letter words, this is an effective block and may force them to play a word that will open up a premium box for you.

OmniGaraffle




OmniGraffle knows what makes a diagram different from a drawing, so it knows how to help you make superior documents quickly: it keeps lines connected to shapes even when they're moved, it provides stencils full of objects for you to drag and drop, and it can magically organize diagrams so your ideas come to life.

Using simple multitouch gestures, draw shapes, drag in objects, and style everything until it's just right. Smart guides help you organize your document in a flash, and automatic layout gives you a powerful shortcut to the perfect diagram layout. When you're done, share your creations via PDF export, or open them in OmniGraffle for Mac.

OmniGraffle for the iPad is the best thing I’ve found for creating flow charts and mind maps on my iPad, it combines the best of all three off the aforementioned programs and deliver them on the iPad. Touch screen- via what is possibly the best user interface of any iPad app read that again- I said any iPad app . I wish most of the other iPad apps I use regularly were as throughtfully  designed, powerful, and easy to use as OmniGraffle.

What I like best about OmniGraffle is the way it uses Stencils. Stencils are collections of Pre-made shapes, images, and connectors to use in your documents, as shown in the figure on the left below. On the right side of this images you see the set Of Stencil libraries that come with OmniGraffle ; they include connections , Shapes, software, three-Dimensional, and several others. I’ve since added a bunch of third-party stencil sets for  other uses-  such as web flowcharts. Home-theater connections, video lighting, camera staging , and more.

Using stencil objects is a pleasure. Drag an item from a Stencil Collections onto the canvas and the object behaves just as you expect an object to behave- just as objects behave in your favourite desktop graphics applications such as photoshop, design, and so on, tap an object to select it or tap and drag to select multiple objects at once. Selected items have ‘’handles’’ on the corners and sides, just as you’d expect.

FEATURES

- Use built-in stencils or draw customizable shapes
- Freehand sketch directly onto your canvas
- Touch and drag to connect shapes together
- Touch "lay out now" to automatically arrange your diagram
- Smart guides help you align, rotate, and size objects

Print n Share




 If you ever have to print documents on your Mac or PC –whether locally over your Wi-Fi network or remotely over 3G or EDGE- print to share is what you need. Plus, it’s so  chock-full of other useful features that I hardly know where to start.
Print n Share is   easy to set up. First install WePrint (freely available on their website) on your MAC or PC, and then download and install Print n Share on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Simply start up the app and let it know that you have WePrint installed and connect to the same network as the desktop running it. From then on, you can print any files directly on your iPhone that can be printed from the desktop running WePrint.  
A nice touch for the app is the ability to print contact information from your Contacts section of the iPhone. Print n Share will access the information directly and provide you with several options for printing, including the much-required DYMO LabelWriter feature. This will let you print directly to the label printer. After you choose the printing template, Print n Share will pull out the information from your Contacts and set the rest up for you.
With that taking care of the Print part of Print n Share, you might wonder what about sharing? Well, the app can be easily configured to work in combination with your networked desktops, online services such as Box.net or MyDisk.se and even sync with your MobileMe account, so you can share your documents with any of these services and have them available on the go.
Let’s start with the basics. If you have a Wi-Fi – enabled printer , setting up printing couldn’t be easier , I launched print share on my iPad and it immediately discovered both Wi-Fi printers in my house, I could print to both  within  a few seconds of launching the app for the first time.WePrint and Print n Share make up a fully integrated system to take care of any print jobs on the go. With Print n Share on your iPhone and the WePrint Server as your desktop software, you're set to go, well, actually, print.

Them later on your iPad , with or without an internet connection.


Use Your Handwriting




Yes, use your Handwriting is yet another to-do list organizer/ reminder type app , but it has a unique twist: you can’t type notes or even speak them. Instead, as the app name implies , when you use Use your Handwriting , your write your notes by hand ( actually by finger)  I love the way the screen scrolls automatically to allow you to write entire sentences on one line.  
Have you ever wanted to write fast, beautiful notes without having to use the popup keyboard? How about just using your finger on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad’s gorgeous screen?

Use Your Handwriting® (UYH) is a powerful yet simple way to organize and express yourself. Instead of typing items in, Use Your Handwriting lets you write them by hand (well, by finger) - and with its unique graphic rendering engine, makes what you write look like your actual handwriting!

BEAUTIFUL CALLIGRAPHIC WRITING STYLES

No matter what your 4th grade teacher told you, you have beautiful handwriting. What you couldn’t do with a pen, you can do with UYH. Choose between five different writing styles and your calligraphy will be amazing everyone in no time.

QUICK NOTES - ANYWHERE, ANYTIME

Have you ever tried using the popup keyboard while walking? We would advise against it. With UYH, you don't necessarily have to look at your device when jotting down a quick reminder or noting a phone number. Start the app, squiggle your note, and you're done. Use the faster "Hyper-write mode" for an even speedier experience.

GET UP AND RUNNING IN UNDER 5 MINUTES

Use Your Handwriting welcomes new users with a tutorial that teaches you its basic functions by actually using them. Unless you decide to skip the tutorial and brave it, you are guaranteed to get off to a swift start!

Productivity Fun Apps for Review

Soshiok .com – iPhone App ( Version 1.4 )

Price of app: Free
Platform: iOS

 

Description: 

This app is excellent for foodies like Singapore /Malaysia .  Provides popular food critics' reviews & recommendations on restaurants, and allows you to share your reviews with others.

Using maps & distance information, the useful navigation service aids you to locate a good eating place in your vicinity (when you are famished & just want to sit down & eat!).

Too many good recommendations you can't make up your mind where to eat? Fret not! The "So-Shake" function will throw out a random choice after you shake your phone! Still not happy? Shake again!


NAVFone Singapore Public Transport Planner & Map

Major update: -Made compatible with iOS 4

price of the app: $4.99 (usd)
platform: iOS IPhone and iPod Touch

why I think this app should be in top 100:

This is a useful app for tourist and local people. It allows you to
choose the start location (where you are) and the destination (where you want to go)
and find out how (by bus or mrt) you are going to get there. It even
lets you know the fare prices for you to make a clever decision on which route to take.
The map shows the bus stop and mrts in case you are lost. I got this app
for a steal at 99 cents so I recommend anyone to get it in case you are lost
in Singapore.


Scan to PDF Free
Price of the app: Free
Platform: Android


Description: 

Scan to PDF Free is a nifty app that lets you scan documents that are converted into PDF files and can be shared or uploaded to Google doc. There's various page sizes (A3, A4, A5, B4, B5, LETTER..) to choose from. Take a picture from either the phone's camera or import from the gallery, do some easy cropping and watch your image transformed. It even works perfectly under low lighting conditions. Output of image scanned was very clear, thanks to the app's image enhancement function. A great productivity app to have!



AppShopper
Price of the app: FREE
Platform: iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch)

Description:
Have you encountered situations when your friends boasted he got his app at US$0.99 when you remembered it costs more? Or how about situations when you bought an app at US$9.99 only to see its price plummet to US$0.99 a week later?

Yes, in case you do not know, prices of apps at the itunes store do FLUCTUATE. This can be the result of the app developers celebrating the millionth download, festive seasons and so on. With this app, you will not miss such wonderful offers.

AppShopper will allow you to search for apps by showing the info and reviews as per shown on itunes shop. It tracks the price changes and updates you on apps you wished for if there is a price change.

Documents to Go - Office Suite
Price of the app: US$9.99
Platform: iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch)


Description: Let's just admit it. iOS has been extremely weak in the area of office productive tools. However, this is set to change with Documents to Go - Office Suite. Though pricey (there are price reductions once in a while), the basic Office Suite allows you to read and edit MS word and MS excel documents on the go. You can also view Powerpoint and PDF files, with the pricier version able to edit Powerpoint files.

There are indeed several (not many) similar apps, but this ranks the top of such apps in terms of flexibility, fast loading times, and ease of use. The App is also able to open and edit files from your email and is able to sync with your PC via a proprietary downloaded software.

Coupled with an IPad and a bluetooth keyboard, you are set as a mobile office worker. Get it with no regret!
