Until recently I had a iHome clock radio with an iPad dock on the night stand next to my bed. About a month ago the iPod dock in the radio died. It wouldn’t charge the iPod or play anything through it. I was in the habit of going to sleep listening to music or podcasts from my iPad, using the radio’s sleep timer. Unfortunately the iPad doesn’t have a sleep timer, so while the iPad seemed to be an ideal replacement, it lacked one key feature so the search was on.
OmniFocus for iPad: First Impressions
Even though I was looking for a task manager, I purchased OmniFocus due to a errant click. Luckily I didn’t go with my first inclination to seek a refund.

Plants vs. Zombies: The Perfect iPad Game & App
All right, it’s not news that Plants vs. Zombies is a popular game. But I didn’t play it on my iPod Touch (or anything else) so when I bought the $10 iPad app it would be completely new to me. The iPhone version is only $3 but the iPad version does include a little unique [...]
Game Changer? Depends on the Game
Among all the iPad hype the term “game changer” has been used frequently, including in the headlines of the mainstream tech media.
