About a week or so ago, all of a sudden, I started receiving an onslaught of people asking me “What’s your high score on Temple Run-” I’d never heard of the game, but the sheer mass of people enquiring about my standing made me think it was something significant, so I decided to download it [...]

I’ve spoken before about how the iPad can be used to increase productivity, and today I want to go a step beyond that and outline two different ways that the iPad can become essential to anyone’s workflow.

Looking around the App Store can be good way to find new apps, but more often than not it’s relatively unproductive, and we’ve already discussed how bad Genius is… Recommendations from friends are a good way to go, as is getting stuck into your favourite app publication (AppStorm, right-).
