iPad Apps: Things, Square, Sketchbook Pro, Warpgate, Magic Piano

More along the lines of education is Star Walk (3 bucks for iPhone/iPod, $5 for iPad). The 'wow factor' of this app is a solid 11 (eleven). Once you learn how to put it through its paces, step outdoors around dusk and show it to some friends. Guaranteed to blow some minds. (warning: the mind you blow may be your own).

Any suggestions

I did not read though this entire thread, and please email me so I do not miss a reply.

I am looking for specific apps. When I get my 64gb 3g, the ipad will replace most of my macbook needs and my macbook will become more of my desktop for mass storage, power for databases and virtual machines, and serve as a backup to my work dell. With that being said and the ipad being my ultimate not in my office - but elsewhere (on road, in kitchen, on couch, giving lectures, at work conferences, etc) device. can someone recommend a good app for the following?

1. an easy wysiwyg website editor or blogger to post updates to my iweb build website, but be able to easily transfer back to iweb.

2. Some sort of desktop publishing. pages does not have all the templates I need. Right now I user Brouderbond's Print Shop 2 deluxe on my mac and occassionally use MS Publisher at work.

3. What do you suggest for creating smaller custom databases Bento or Filemaker (both have an iphone / ipad version - Bento or FM touch). and if I get FM touch, do I need full filemaker on my macbook (what version filemaker)

4. Since ipad can support video importation from a camera, will it handle AVI? My Nikon saves in AVI format. Also is there a relatively good, but lightweight video editor for the ipad? I don't need full final cut, but something along the line of imove to tweak and cut videos for uploading to youtube.

5. Anything garage band like, for demoing and working with musician friends? I also tend to mix sound tracks for use in smaller youtube videos.

Other than that, I found everything else I need and downloaded or purchased so I will be ready when I get my ipad. Just waiting for Omni to release Omniplan.

Now for those required mac upgrades to support syncing (omni graffle, Bento 3 if I choose to go with Bento and not FileMaker, Mobile Noter). Microsoft one note is really becoming my only Windows apps (other than my bible software).

Because they want to offer it on non iPhones too.

Arn's got it right. Basically we started on the swiper before the 3.0 dock connector support was out. It has added benefits like working on Android or other platforms. We were one of the first to have external hardware working on the iPad since the Square reader doesn't use a form-fitting case that prevents all of the recent dock based swipers from working.


There are other benefits too though. It's really cheap, since it doesn't require complicated digital hardware like anything dock based would.

Do you get charged fees like a regular retail store if you use Square up?

Our only fees are the card present rate (2.9%) or card not present (3.5%) per-transaction, similar to many card processing systems. We only charge one rate though, regardless of the card.

Do you need the Square app itself to sign up for an account? I'm looking at their website and don't see any registration links.



I suppose that depends on what you're creating.

Yes, you do need to install and run the iPad app right now to set up an account. We're doing this to ramp up our release, so we can handle all the support and user growth. We'll be opening up sign up to the website and releasing an iPhone and Android app soon.
