iCookbook Hit Tablet App for Cooks Now Available on HP TouchPad

iCookbook App Now Available on HP TouchPad - Publications International launches the latest version of their hit tablet app for cooks, iCookbook, onto the new HP TouchPad

The iCookbook app is now available on the HP TouchPad. The highlight app for anyone who spends time in the kitchen, iCookbook for HP webOS from Publications International includes more than 2,000 recipes from some of the top food brands in the world, and includes features that make it a great sit-on-the-counter meal planning and preparation app.

iCookbook Tablet App for HP TouchPad

The unique capabilities of webOS, such as TouchPad’s enhanced navigation methods, enabled PIL to add custom experiences to iCookbook. For example, iCookbook leverages a multi-panel view in the “Prepare” display that makes access to information easier and more intuitive.

PIL has been publishing cookbooks for forty years and sells more than 9 million cookbooks each year. Its team of cooking experts have worked for more than a year on iCookbook and developed it from the perspective of a home cook. “We saw when we were creating iCookbook that many of the recipe apps were not well-suited for use in the kitchen. They were simply recipe and meal planners,” said Jerry Croft, President of the Cooking Division and Digital Media at PIL. “With iCookbook, we started from actual food preparation and worked backwards, looking at what the home cook would need at each step.”

QR Codes on Paper Maps for the Digital World - Butler Maps

Butler Motorcycle Maps Prints Paper Map for the Digital World - Butler Motorcycle maps butlermaps.com integrates QR codes on paper maps to link riders to the best places eat, sleep and explore.

GPS lovers, don't give up on print quite yet! Within a year of establishing themselves as the authorities on motorcycle roads in the US, Butler Motorcycle Maps has again changed the way we use paper maps.

Scan to link to Butlermaps.com

Along with displaying the best motorcycling roads in each state, the newest generation of Butler Maps uses QR technology to link riders to the best places to sleep, eat and explore.

QR codes are small printed images that allow users to instantly access content on the internet using a free app downloadable on their smart phone. While the printed code itself never changes, the content behind is constantly updated. “ Many people see paper maps as a thing of the past, but we see them as a staple to any road trip. QR codes are the perfect way to keep the reliability of a map yet gain the real time information that only the internet can provide. The great thing about QR is it can all be reached for free, from the side of the road,” says Justin Bradshaw of Butler Maps.

Butler Maps latest edition, the Texas Hill Country, has 33 unique codes printed throughout the map. Each code has its own function including linking users to video of roads, lists of BBQ joints, places to sleep and even a calender of live music in the area.

"This is way more then a map, we call it a Mobile Tour Guide, it really is everything you need to have the best ride possible. Of course, we will always focus on the best rides, but after all, there is much more to a great day of motorcycling then just the roads," says Bradshaw.

Invisibility™ iPad 2 App Enables Invisibility

Invisibility Achieved Through iPad 2 App - Levity Novelty LLC has today released an iPad app that provides simulated invisibility of the iPad 2 screen on a table or other environment, even as the device is moved. The Invisibility™ app is available in Apple’s online App Store for US$0.99.

The Invisibility user simply takes a photo of the table, then lays the iPad flat on the table or lifts one corner. As the user rotates the iPad around its center, or a corner, a perfectly stationary image of the table underneath remains clearly visible.

Invisibility™ iPad 2 App Enables Invisibility

By all appearances, the screen has disappeared and the user is looking through the iPad as it moves. Users can even see the inside edge of the iPad through the screen, as well as shadows seemingly cast on the table by the empty iPad frame.

Dream of Invisibility Achieved
From the Arabian Nights to the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter’s cloak, storytellers have dreamed of invisibility. Magicians use mirrors and sleight of hand to astonish audiences and make objects disappear. While the Invisibility iPad app can’t yet be adapted to the size and flexibility of a garment or cloak, its core method – combining cameras, motion tracking software, and a large display – can some day be combined to make a greater range of objects disappear.

Uniquely Matched for iPad 2
Invisibility for iPad relies on key technologies introduced on the new iPad 2:

3D gyroscopes that tell the app exactly how the iPad is being turned
a camera that lets users take a life-size image of its environment, such as a table top

Together with the motion-detecting accelerometers built into all of Apple’s iOS mobile devices, and the iPad 2’s high performance graphics, Invisibility draws over a hundred “stationary” images each second as the iPad moves, giving the table top image – or any other image the user chooses – a fixed reality whose location and orientation are seemingly independent of the iPad. The iPad becomes a moving window into a virtual world.

Brain Stimulation Mobile App for Babies

Brain Stimulation for Babies is Focus of New Mobile App Using Universal Symbols and Sounds - Startup iPercepToolz, Inc. launched ‘Baby Symbolizer’ for Father’s Day, a high contrast early development app for Apple iPhone, iTouch, and iPad.

iPercepToolz, Inc. (iPT), announced the release today for Father’s Day of ‘Baby Symbolizer’, its first mobile device app available on iTunes, specially designed to stimulate early brain development in newborns through the use of interactive high contrast universal symbols, shapes, patterns, and sounds.

Brain Stimulation Mobile App for Babies - Baby Symbolizer

According to Mies Hora, iPT President, “The majority of designs used in typical nursery accessories and decor are either pastel colors that babies can’t see, or complex images and patterns just too confusing for their early perceptive abilities. Knowing personally how stressful caregiving can be, we designed a low-cost but highly effective and eco-friendly tool to simultaneously soothe newborns and young babies while stimulating their brains. In fact, my own son Hudson is Chief App Tester for iPercepToolz.”

More than forty years of scientific research on what infants perceive at successive stages of development has revealed that babies who are given appropriate stimulation show sustained developmental advantages over babies in less stimulative environments. Researchers discovered that newborns not only prefer to look at high-contrast graphics, but that such images can help produce breathtaking results:

* Increase infant concentration skills and attention span
* Focus and develop eyesight, hand-to-eye coordination, visual tracking, and object permanence
* Stimulate creation of synapses (brain cell connections) by speeding up myelination (insulation of nerve pathways)
* Calm and soothe
* Enhance natural curiosity, neck strength and head control.

Baby Symbolizer is now available at the iTunes App Store for $1.99, and features 34 high-contrast graphics that are viewable in a continuous ‘Slideshow’, or an ‘Interactive’ mode that encourages infants to touch, explore and discover bold visual/sound response buttons. Touching the heart shape produces a ‘heartbeat’ sound and the wave pattern produces an entertaining ‘splash’, for example.

Friend Me is a free application with no advertising, available for download now from Android Market.

'Friend Me' Facebook App for Android Tablets

Galaxy users have long complained about the shortage of applications designed for tablets that run Google's new Android operating system. Many apps designed for Android phones also work on tablets, but they don't always run well or take full advantage of the tablet's larger screen.

“There was a clear need for a Facebook app that makes good use of the tablet’s size and features,” commented application developer and Locomo Labs founder, Chris Stewart. “I build apps that respond to what the market wants, but I’m also a consumer. Just like everybody else, I want apps that do what they promise, do it well, and without a lot of aggravation.”

Friend Me includes many of the Facebook features most-requested by the Android user and development community. New features will continue to roll out in the coming weeks.

Friend Me Features

Tailored Experience for Your Android Tablet

Friend Me takes advantage of the latest technologies of Android 3.1. The tablet-centric design offers an experience that best utilizes your device.

New Coloring Book App Color Mix for iPad

Kids Mix Their Own Colors in a New Coloring Book App for iPad - Color Mix for Kids adds an educational twist to a child’s coloring experience. It allows children to mix primary colors on a palette and use those mixed colors to draw.

Children’s creativity has always been limited by a box of colors chosen for them. If their school funds art studies, they may have some opportunity to mix paints and learn the color wheel. However, their exploration via creative play is always restricted by limitations in art supplies, and frankly, the mess that it makes. By using virtual paint, Color Mix for Kids allows for unlimited play and unlimited color selection.

New Coloring Book App Color Mix for iPad

In addition, Color Mix for Kids’ incremental approach to color mixing provides children a more concrete learning experience than traditional finger painting. They can see that equal portions of blue and yellow do not make the same shade of green as two portions of blue and one portion of yellow. This valuable lesson in color theory comes easily through creative play. According to Eightfold Education founder, Justin Lewis, “Color theory is an important educational foundation in order for any early elementary student to develop a talent for art.”

Color Mix for Kids provides a multi-touch enabled canvas to allow siblings or classmates to share and create together. This feature prevents the inevitable arguments that will arise when one child overrides another child’s control of the app.

iPad Hand Therapy App Dexteria to Improve Fine Motor Skills

BinaryLabs Takes iPad in New Direction with Hand Therapy App - Inspired by his daughter's need to improve her fine motor skills, app developer Frank Jensen is leveraging the multi-touch capabilities of the iPad into a tool to improve fine motor skills in kids and adults.

BinaryLabs is turning the iPad into a tool for improving fine motor skills with the introduction of Dexteria, a new app for the iPad. The app features interactive multi-touch activities designed by licensed occupational therapists.

"There are thousands of apps for the iPad, but very few of them take full advantage of its unique user interface," said Jensen, CEO of BinaryLabs. "The iPad can detect several simultaneous touches. I asked, 'Other than gaming, which is a saturated market segment, how can I put that capability to good use?'"

iPad Hand Therapy App Dexteria

The answer came to him immediately. "Like many kids, my kindergarten-aged daughter was having challenges with her fine motor skills," said Jensen. "The key to improvement was a consistent regime of hand and finger exercises. I wanted to be sure she was ready for kindergarten, and fine motor skills are often overlooked as an important factor in school-readiness. Dexteria helps kids get ready for school."

New Facebook App to help English Learners Build their Vocabulary

British Council Launches English Vocabulary App for Facebook - Teachers and learners of English can now access a new resource to help build vocabulary and improve language skills thanks to the British Council’s latest Facebook app. Pic-Your-Wits is an interactive English vocabulary game with pixelated pictures for learners to guess the words and beat the clock. It is available on Facebook today for free.

Facebook App Pic-Your-Wits

Ann Foreman, Social Media Consultant at the British Council, said: “Each month Pic-Your-Wits responds to learners’ requests and publishes a new set of vocabulary to challenge them. Pic-Your-Wits also helps learners to practise what they’ve learnt by pointing them in the direction of more activities on the LearnEnglish website – all of which relate to the current picture set. The first picture set is of animals, so this month learners have the opportunity to read and listen to stories, poems and magazine articles on the theme of animals. Next month the game will expand with another picture set with more suggestions for activities to help learners build their language skills. In this way, an apparently simple vocabulary game will gradually be transformed into a really comprehensive learning tool.”
