The Bard’s Tale on sale – $1.99

Downloading The Bard’s Tale for iPad, all 1.34GB of it. You know, I don’t actually recall playing this game back when it came out in the 80s. I remember playing Ultima II, III, and IV for weeks on end and can only hope that gets an iOS makeover too. I remember The Bard’s Tale being all the rage, so I’m anxious to get it downloaded and get on with the smiting. A dollar says I fall down a ladder or something within the first 10 minutes. My fondness for 80s D&D is all coming back to me!

AirDisk Pro and Notability – Now that works nicely

I had a great time transferring files over to AirDisk Pro last night. I sent over a couple Top Gear episodes and a bunch of PDF files.The Top Gear episodes played fine and copying them over that easily was pretty cool.

You can hide away the menus and there is a great palm rest feature that […]

AirDisk Pro – Wireless Flash Drive

I’ve just been using AirDisk Pro that turns the iPad into a flash drive. It works like a charm to wirelessly transfer files to the device where it offers the ability to either read your files within the app or use the Open In feature to transfer them over to apps that support it. The biggest feature with AirDisk Pro is the ability to drag and drop multiple files. You connect with a browser and if offers a hotspot to drop your files. There is a simple but effective gauge to show percentage complete of the transfer. While connected you can also create folders, delete and rename files, and download them to the Host computer.It’s really an effective way to get files on and off the iPad. AirDisk Pro has a decent reader built in, but you can easily open your documents in other applications using the Open In command. Click to open your file then click the Open In […]
