Do you own a car?
How many hours do you spend commuting?
Traffic seems to be one of the biggest aggravations of driving in a big city. What could be worse than being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic after all? Mmm… maybe driving around in circles trying to find parking?!!!
The App I will be discussing in this post is most commonly used on the iPhone but also works well with the iPad.
If you have a car and iPhone or an iPad with a data plan you may want to give Parker a try.
As you spend more and more time using your iPad a pattern will emerge. There are certain Apps that you will find yourself opening on a daily basis.
But even if these Apps are located on the iPad first page or Home screen, depending on our location, you may still need to swipe back and forth to get to the App you are looking for.
Unless… you populate your favourite Apps onto the iPad dock
I have always loved music. I even took electric keyboard lessons for a short time when I was a boy. Of course, this does not qualify me as a musician but at least my love for music is there, right? ;-)
What about you my dear reader? Are you an amateur or experienced musician? Have you ever used the iPad to actually produce music?
A friend of mine who is a musician recently asked me if I knew any good sheet music Apps for iPad
Today’s information society has both benefits and drawbacks. We are constantly flooded with information and content, some of which is useful and some of which is junk. So how do we effectively consume and filter out what we want to read?
On your iPad, one possible solution is to use the Flipboard App. Flipboard lets you browse information from many different sources organized by topic in a digital magazine format.
You can create your own digital magazine and add stories (Flip) into it
En los ultimos dias he tenido mas tiempo para “jugar” con mi nuevo iPad Air. Si te gustaría saber mas acerca de mis primeras impresiones con este nuevo modelo del iPad, podes leer el siguiente articulo.

Una de estas nuevas funcionalidades se llama AirDrop
In the past few days I had more time to play with my new iPad Air. In case anybody had any doubts, let me clarify that I really like the new tablet and I am enjoying playing with it!!
For those who may have missed last week’s exciting news, I wrote about my first impressions of the new iPad Air. You can check out that article here.
I am discovering several new features that are available on iOS 7 but I could not access on my previous iPad 2.
One of these features is called AirDrop
La semana pasada me converti en usuario de un flamante iPad Air!
Estoy muy contento con mi nueva tablet. Me encanto el nuevo modelo. A pesar de que no he podido pasar suficiente tiempo con el nuevo iPad (Cuanto tiempo es suficiente cuando uno compra un “juguete” electrónico nuevo?!), quería compartir alguno de mis pensamientos al respecto.
Antes que nada, te cuento que el nuevo iPad Air se siente super liviano
Guess what my dear readers? I am so excited to tell you that I got a new iPad Air this past week! Although I have not spent “enough” time discovering this awesome tablet (i.e., how much is enough when you get a new gadget?! ), I wanted to share some of my thoughts about it.
First of all, the new iPad Air feels really, really light especially
You may recall from a previous post that I am the official weather man at home. In order to fulfill my role and keep my wife happy, I am always on the look out for new weather Apps.
A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by Mike on Twitter to have a look at Seasonality Go. This App is not just a weather App. It literally transforms your iPad into an advanced weather station!
While I was preparing this post, I showed Seasonality Go to my wife and she was very impressed with it.
Seasonality Go knows about 30,000 locations in about 200 countries. You can also use your iPad’s GPS
Es probable que la búsqueda sea una de las funcionalidades menos conocidas en el iPad. Es muy fácil de utilizar pero no por ello menos poderosa. A medida que pasa el tiempo y acumulamos aplicaciones, citas, contactos, libros y música, a mucha gente se le dificulta encontrar lo que necesitan.
Si eres usuario de Mac, probablemente hayas escuchado mencionar un utilitario llamado Spotlight. En forma similar, Spotlight se encuentra disponible para iPad.
Alguna vez te paso navegar entre la enorme cantidad de aplicaciones en el iPad buscando la ultima app que bajaste hace 2 semanas? Tenes dudas acerca de cuando es tu próxima cita con el medico?

Several months ago I wrote an article about how to search on iPad. It mainly referred to iOS 6.
The main benefits of searching your iPad with iOS 7, 8 or 9 remain the same. With iOS 7, 8 and 9, you are able to locate things quickly and easily, whether it’s an App, a contact, song, email, book or appointment.
There is a subtle change though and it boils down to how to access Spotlight (the search utility)
What do giant pandas, marine turtles, elephants, tigers, snow leopards, whales, polar bears, rhinos, gorillas, sharks, jaguars and monarch butterflies have in common?
All of them are facing threats of extinction.
I recently came across “WWF Together”, an App from the World Wildlife Fund. This interactive App teaches us about the different species
