I wish I wasn't a poor writer when I read blogs such as this. Technology never ceases to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteOne day. One day....
You know, the scary thing is I downloaded this very app to my iTouch this morning. That's spooky ...
ReplyDeleteIt's a damn good app, I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into it :D
At least they didn't call it SyFy Wire.
ReplyDeleteThe wonders of technology, it never ceases to amaze me,
ReplyDeleteLoved the post.
Yvonne,
So many apps, so ... wait, I don't have an iPad.
ReplyDeleteIt does look good, though!

Wendy, one day you will have one!
ReplyDeleteJamie, that is wild. You just knew it was a great app, didn't you?
Helen, I thought your husband had one?
Sci-Fi Wire is one of my favorite blogs. Is it really that much better on an iPad?
ReplyDeleteInformation overload!! I don't know how much more this old mind can take. Give me some paper hard bound books and some basic computer stuff. All of this new technology is so cool and amazing, but it just keeps coming too fast for me to keep up with.

I'm expecting to see CASSASTAR trailer up at Sci Fi Wire some time in the future :P
ReplyDeleteMan that looks cool! I'm very jealous.
ReplyDeleteMaurice, I've never explored the blog! I just like having the app right there - one touch and I have all the latest news.
ReplyDeleteArlee, you better hang on to your hat then!
Dez, I'd like to see that, too. I'll have to find out if one is planned.
Just found your blog - your book looks really interesting. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo cool. I want an iPad. Maybe in a couple months. We are no longer charging anything. Cash only. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteStephen Trem
Kate, thanks! It comes out in October.
ReplyDeleteStephen, that must be challenging. I charge half of my purchased, but pay off the bill every month. Hate debt.

Whoa! Geeks everywhere rejoice :) This is very cool and convenient. I'm still debating over whether to get an iPad.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've tagged you at my blog!
Very cool! I saw an iPad the other day. They scare me. Yes, I can't even use a phone the right way. Le sigh.
ReplyDeleteBut this looks wicked-cool!
This is awesome! I'm so glad you're continuing to share parts of the iPad with us... I'm leaning more and more towards getting one! Thanks for sharing this with us today, Alex!
ReplyDeleteI am equally amazed and jealous. Thanks (I think), Alex!
ReplyDeletePretty incredible, I must say...
ReplyDeleteWasabi, I need to make a button, don't I?
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks so much - I'm honored to be the only sci-fi geek you watch.
Thanks, Julie!
Elana, it IS wicked cool.
Miller, let us know when you get one! Then we can both post geeky iPad features.
Talli, glad I could taunt you!
I really really want an iPad now!! That's so very cool!
ReplyDeleteI want the comic book app! That's the one that caught my eye.
ReplyDeletePalindrome, there's several comic book apps. I have two at the moment, and it's incredible how interactive the programs are and how responsive.
ReplyDeleteOoh... now that looks nice!
ReplyDeleteWow. There are so many apps out there. They keep getting better. Awesome post...:)

Did you hear that the Wall Street Journal just confirmed that Google and Verizon are going to put out a tablet PC...it looks amazing! As a Droid owner...I'm so stoked.
ReplyDeleteHave you heard anything good or bad about this?
Raquel, there's several new tablets in the works, and Google's will probably be the next big one. Haven't heard anything, but sure it will be comparable to the iPad.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...starting to get convinced...Noo...cannot give up paper books...ahhh.
ReplyDeleteSadako, don't give up your paper books - just enjoy all the other iPad apps instead!
