Review: Puzzingo iPad 2 App for Children

When my children were toddlers they always enjoyed the old wooden puzzle educational games.  It was refreshing to me and somewhat nostalgic to discover this new iPad 2 app for children called Puzzingo. This iPad 2 app will remind you of those classic wooden puzzles we grew up playing with (pictures above are for those who’ve never seen them). 7SPARX Studio is the developer of children’s educational apps and we think this app is one of the best iPad 2 apps for toddlers we’ve seen this summer. Before loading up the minivan for vacation you may want to download this app for iPad that will keep your kids entertained while on the road. But what we really like about this children’s iPad 2 app is that it is educational too.  (video demo below the break) Continue reading

Bing iPad App Update with New Gesturing

Apple’s patented touch based gesturing is a standard on all of the iOS devices and touch gesturing is the most advanced on the large iPad display. Bing today updated their new iPad app on the app store and introduced a unique iPad interactive gesturing experience. Bing labels this as a new search shortcut called Lasso. Basically, Bing describes it is a whole new way to search with the touch of a finger on the iPad touch screen. The Bing iPad app uses a Lasso tool that allows you to draw freely around text on web pages, which triggers a quick search from that selection. Instead of touch selecting a block of text in order to bring up the loupe and frustratingly dragging the corners of the blue dots to the beginning and end of your selection now you can use the lasso tool to select text your text on a web page.  It is available on the app store by clicking here. Bing video demo is after the break.  Continue reading
