My thanks to Mobile Cloth for sponsoring the site RSS feed again this week. Over the last few years I’ve tried out a ton of different cleaning cloths for the iPad, iPhone and other mobile devices. Some that come free with another accessory, some I’ve been sent as review units, and other miscellaneous ones I’ve somehow acquired along the way. And none of them hold a candle to Mobile Cloth. It’s still the easiest, fastest way to keep my iPad screens free of fingerprints and smudges.

If you’re looking for one more little stocking stuffer gift for an iPad owner in your life, these might be just the thing.

The iPad display is a thing of beauty, whether it’s the original, the iPad mini, or the top of the line retina display on the iPad 3 and 4. It’s also unfortunately a major magnet for fingerprints, smudges, and all sorts of pesky germs from all of our tapping, swiping and miscellaneous touching.

Mobile Cloth is the easiest and fastest way to keep your iPad screen clean and free of all that muck. I’ve been singing its praises ever since I first wrote about it two years ago and asked how excited you’re allowed to be about cleaning cloths.

Ever since then, Mobile Cloth has been a reliable friend for all my iPads.

They come in standard handkerchief sort of size or a smaller Nano size. Prices start at $8.99 for a 2 pack and there’s free shipping with a minimum purcase at www.mobilecloth.com.

Big thanks to MacPhun and their ColorStrokes HD iPad app for sponsoring our RSS feed this week.

ColorStrokes HD is a great new color splash effects app; it was just released last week and featured in the New and Noteworthy section of the iPad App Store. Here are some of its key features:

- Color palette to add new colors to your images
- Smart color splash tool
- Special dramatic effects
- Different monochrome backgrounds
- Handy editing tools (gamma, contrast, hue, exposure, etc)
- Customizable painting brush
- Import from Facebook
- Full resolution support on all iOS devices
- Export to Instagram and all popular social networks
- Print via Airprint
- Postcards

I use several MacPhun photo and image manipulation apps on my iPad and my MacBook Pro. All of them offer superb, powerful features while still being dead simple to use.

Here’s an App Store link for ColorStrokes HD; it’s priced at $0.99.
