Buddy - Can you Spare an App?

Have you been asked recently for any iPad or iPhone app tips?

Confession apps, note taking apps, historical apps, voice recognition apps, news apps, camera apps... the list is endless.  Recently several colleagues either purchased an iPad for their personal use or purchased several iPads for their school.  Get ready to move from surfing the web to exploring apps.

Although there are still some apps that are device dependent, the majority of the apps mentioned can be used on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod.   The newer devices bost camera and operating system enhancements that preclude the use of some apps on older iPods or first generation iPads.
