148Apps

Filed under: Apple,iPad,iPhone — Michael Cabral @ 12:00 AM

Suppose you were about to be stranded on a desert island and could only install 148 apps on your iOS device before being marooned. Which would you choose? Well, you can now see what one website has prepared as the Top 148 iOS apps by going to 148apps.com.

According to their website, 148Apps is a founding member of the Organization for App Testing Standards, and has been reviewing apps for quite some time. They base their choices for their picks on Apple Store sales and their own experience with the apps.

It’s not surprising that it seems like all the top listed apps are games. Scrabble was their number one choice of any sort of app genre when I researched this article. However, you can find apps by category, and there is a listing of productivity apps. Facebook, Skype and The Weather Channel were popular non-game titles.

iHeard A Rumor

Filed under: Apple,iPad — Michael Cabral @ 12:00 AM

Wednesday, March 2nd is the date for an Apple event taking place in San Francisco. Rumored to be the focus of the meeting is the announcement of an iPad 2. Building on the momentum of the current iPad, this new device will be faster, lighter, and more capable. How much more capable? Well, that’s where the rumors come in, but a built-in teleconferencing system, and less weight are just two of the many predictions swirling around the ether. After the conference, I’ll post up a quick update, and opinions about the announcement.
