Amazon has updated their Universal Kindle App for iPad and iPhone. The iPad gets the addition of bigger fonts and more font sizes along with easier and faster navigation between home and archived items on iPad.
The iPhone gets the ability to search inside the book – iPad users will have to wait for this feature.
Have you seen the Zinio app for iPad and iPhone? Have you seen the gazillions of digital magazines that the app lets you read anytime, anywhere?
The iPad app has been downloaded so often that it was the #1 iPad News app in the App Store for weeks and has since remained in the Top 10. It’s also a top News app for the iPhone which, given the number of available of applications, is saying something.
Zinio has decided it’s time to celebrate – not just their excitement about being a popular app, but about Summer and all the reading you can do on the beach, in the country or just relaxing in your home.
As you probably expected, I carry a lot of gadgets with me. Because of that, I’ve always opted for small notebooks and subsequently, iBooks, PowerBooks and now MacBooks. I use a 13-inch MacBook (and soon, MacBook Pro) because it’s small, light and has great battery life.
When I’m in my office, I use an external display as my primary screen and my MacBook display as secondary. But when I’m on the road, I’m always disappointed by the amount of screen real estate I have to work with when using only the MacBook’s built-in display. So when I saw Air Display for the iPad, I had to give it a try.
Are bikinis and boobs coming back to Apple’s App Store? With the addition of the new “Explicit” category, they just may.
A developer has informed Cult of Mac about the inclusion of the new category, even providing screen shots from the iTunesWebConnect web site. (Screen capture after the jump.)
The addition of this category could hint at a “Mature Audiences-Only” section of the App Store which would hide these types of apps from kids, teens and even grown-ups who might find these types of apps offensive. Does that mean they’ll loosen up their requirements and allow more racier apps, as well?
I’d guess not. However, the segregation of these apps could make life easier for everyone. Or more difficult.
