With the start of a new year, I thought I’d take another look at my iPad home screen page the same way I did with my iPhone, and make some decisions on what I “need” and what apps I have simply accumulated since purchasing my iPad Pro. The majority of my most used apps live on the […]
Time for another What’s on Your iPad post. I’m still finding these great fun – partly because I just love seeing how others get the most out of their iPad and also because they’re a great source of ideas. Today’s guest is Omar Gallaga – Omar writes on technology for the Austin American-Statesman, my hometown […]
OK, I know it’s early days and we’re all getting to know our new iPads, trying out apps, still getting to grips with things. It’s never too early to ask what you’ve got in your iPad dock though, I hope anyway. Mine – as you can see above – has still got three of the […]
Some of you may have noticed this before, but for those who aren’t familiar with this site, let me start off this article by saying that I’m a lifelong Windows user on the desktop side. This makes me a bit of a rare bird as a writer for an Apple site, but if you look […]

No one but the cool kids have gotten their hands on the new iPhones and Apple Watches yet, and we are already getting fresh reports on what’s coming next. Considering that the news is about the now all but official iPad Pros, I’m all for it.
