Are there any fun math apps? Trying to brush up on my math skills from scratch and would love something fun to learn on.

Wow, way to read the thread, Chuck. Earlier in one of these threads (can't find which one now) I was recommending AirSharing for video. I hadn't looked into GoodReader since it originally came out, and I assumed it was just for PDFs (and the free Stanza was better). Turns out GoodReader is every bit as awesome as people here are claiming. I really had no idea that you could download files from within the app; now I don't have to take my laptop with me to download Rifftrax for the plane flight home!

Are there any apps that do multi-task video calls--while not freezing the outgoing video? I'm getting an iPad 2 and I understand Skype can multitask video, but I think it currently freeze/pauses the video stream outgoing to your chat partner...this was just tested with my iPhone 3Gs, so not with a facetime camera. thanks!

I've seen Atomic Web and iCab mentioned as alternative browsers. Which is better? For that matter, is there a difference? They seem to have the exact same set of features. Torael_7 fucked around with this message at Mar 17, 2011 around 19:53 |

I've got both for some time now and still can't decide. Atomic got a lot of updates recently and was brought up to iCab's level. I do find myself going back to Safari a lot since the 4.3 update, because of the great speed improvements. Apart from that Safari still sucks though.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:If you have a couple minutes to spare, could you try any video from vimeo.com or vevo.com? Because I get horrible results from those (and just about everything else I've tried, except some of the tiny CNN videos). Then I changed to vimeo.com and watched the "videos we like" on the main page -- some kind of "wagon christ chunkothy promo" which also started instantly and played nicely, even when maximized. I did see some compression artifacts in the videos at vimeo.com. Not terrible, but maybe 10-15% worse than when I watched them on my PC on the same wifi network (at the same time, side by side.) This is on an iPad 2. YMMV. CaptainCaveman posted:When I tried it, canceling the prompt to buy the full version also took me back to its start page.  v

Atomic Edge posted:I'm still awaiting the launch of the iPad 2 (I'm in the UK) for my iPad fix, but I am already thinking about how I will use the thing. (I THINK OF NOTHING ELSE!). I've not used CineXPlayer or VLC a whole lot but I've not gotten great impressions from them and you have to bear in mind that they don't use the h.264 hardware acceleration so you're gonna get worse performance and reduced battery life using them. Zumocast did exactly what you want, but it's gone now and frankly I think that at the moment your best bet is either dropbox, which I currently use when I need to quickly shove a movie file onto my iPad, or goodreader. Both of these require you to re-encode your movies first though.

randyest posted:Vevo is one of the items on the main video start page in the app and they work fine -- I just suffered through an Avril video and some interview with some people I've never seen before. Both vids were marked "HD." Both started within 5 seconds of my click, and both played very well to the end with no stuttering, in a small window or "full screen" (full screen still shows the browser location bar, not sure how to turn that off.)

When one buys an app, does that include all the updates for free? Like GoodReader is up to v3.5, if I buy it will I continue to get the newer versions (if I download them?)

WithoutTheFezOn posted:Weird, that's completely different than my experience, but thanks for doing that. One problem I just had a few minutes ago was iSwifter saying it couldn't connect, and to try again or wait til later if the problem persists. One or two retries got through OK, but I guess that's a drawback of having their servers convert to HTML5 or quicktime or whatever it's doing. But that's the first time I've seen that and it seems to have cleared up now.

randyest posted:Do you get compression artifacts? Stuttering? Other issues? Plus the text on web pages just doesn't look right, line weights are just off. It's not too much of a stretch to guess that the app is just streaming the screen contents of a virtual machine, but it's doing it very badly.

I just discovered (quite accidentally) that there's a gesture to fully open an article in Reeder up in Readability (un-pinch fingers), but pinching it closes the whole feed, not just that article. Is there an opposite gesture to close just that article?

You can also do the unpinch gesture again to uh, un readabilitize the view.Dr Solway Garr posted:I've not used CineXPlayer or VLC a whole lot but I've not gotten great impressions from them and you have to bear in mind that they don't use the h.264 hardware acceleration so you're gonna get worse performance and reduced battery life using them. For downloading I'm not sure, maybe use an SMB browser app. From there you might be able to send the video to whatever player app, assuming both the browswer app and video player both support the "open in" functionality. One problem with this method though, you'll have duplicates of anything you open (everything is sandboxed, "opening" copies a file from one app sandbox to another) so wasted space could get out of hand if you have a whole bunch of stuff.

Thanks for everyone's help about downloading video. I think I will just encode video in handbreak as I want it. It's not ideal, partly because of the time required to render the video, but also because my video is stored on my HTPC, and my iTunes library with all my music on it on my MacBook... Oh well, I will just have to have a little more forethought than I planned on having! Thanks again.

Atomic Edge posted:Thanks for everyone's help about downloading video. My home built NAS uses the commandline version of handbreak that I can set to encode from anywhere via SSH and a tmux session. If it's windows I'm sure you could do the same with RDP. If the HTPC is on, you might as well use it for transcoding.

Finally bought GoodReader and of course it does a ton of stuff I've been wanting. I should've bought it a while ago. Only question I have: is it possible to get it to show the first page of PDFs like iBooks does, instead of just the generic PDF icon? (I mean in the list of files. I already enabled Preview so I can tap to see the first page before I open the file. I'm guessing the answer is "No" but I wanted to check. I guess I sort of wish I could get a 'large icon view' in a folder.)

I've had an iPad 1 for a month now and have been using it to play games and mess around with music apps. But tonight I went on a feed reader rampage and now... I'm in a hot messy kind of love over this device. Zinio, Pulse, ReadItLater, and Flipboard are loving incredible apps and I can now say that my purchase was worth it.

edit: ^ I just googled this. How on earth does Game Loft get away with ripping off games so hard? You think they'd have been sued by now. I started trying to read The Daily more but have become incredibly frustrated by the fact that if you multitask away from it and try to come back not only do you lose your place but the whole app has to load again? How does that make any sense at all? zelah fucked around with this message at Mar 19, 2011 around 18:58 |

As far as remote desktop apps go, this has been my favorite: http://appshopper.com/productivity/...-remote-desktop Wyse Pocketcloud $14.99 It's a little pricy, but I grabbed this so I could use my iPad to remote into work when I'm on call, instead of lugging my laptop around (which has terrible battery life). The free version is limited to connecting to one machine and a 800x600 resolution. The virtual mouse is really well done, and makes it pretty simple to handle things like right-clicking. It works with either VNC or Wndows RDP.

I was going to come in here and ask if anyone had a good recommendation for a vSphere app, but it's seems VMWare have just launched their official one. VMWare vSphere Client for Ipad Probably a bit of a niche question, but has anyone grabbed it to have a play yet? I was quite impressed with the View Client for iPad when I was out at one of my clients the other day.

Torael_7 posted:Plants vs Zombies is on sale today, marked down to $1.99. Sweet, thanks! I already had the iPhone version so I couldn't justify the higher price just to buy a prettier version. Can anyone help me on this one? I know a lot of people have asked about spreadsheet programs and I've tried a few but nothing I've tried works the way I need it to. My company sends out quotes for my customers that are in .xls spreadsheets. These have merged cells and are formatted to be really pretty. However out of all of the programs I've bought for both the iPad and the iPhone I can't seem to find one that doesn't either say that the file is invalid (I think it's the file size in most cases, they're usually around 350K in size) or if they do open the formatting gets all sorts of hosed up. The merged cells break, the row sizes go crazy and it unhides any hidden columns. I've spent a good bit on "Quickoffice", "Numbers", "File viewer" and "ReaddleDocs" and nothing seems to let me view them like Excel does. Any advice? Anyone run into the same problem? Hidden columns and merged cells are pretty basic functions.
