In the past, I’ve said some nasty things about the WordPress iPad app. For the tasks I needed to do here and on other blogs — add and resize images, format text and link like crazy — the app’s barebones approach was simply inadequate. The app was also pretty buggy.

No nudity in the App Store, says Apple. Them’s the rules. So it’s been hard for an app from the likes of Playboy to make much progress on that front.
Playboy does have an app, mind you, but there’s no nudity. Not that there needs to be nudity! There’s almost nudity, like suggestive photos of near nud—you know what? Let’s move on. …
The shameless ogling of Playboy bunnies is almost at hand for iPad users.
The word comes straight from Hugh Hefner, who confirmed the news via Twitter: “Playboy will be available on iPad, complete & uncensored, on May 18,” he wrote. What’ll it cost? $8 per month, commitment-free.

Someone didn’t tell the folks at Bloom Studio that music players are supposed to be boring, because Planetary for iPad is something entirely different.

Tax prep? There’s an app for that. Several, actually.
The folks at Intuit recently gave me a demo of their TurboTax apps: SnapTax for iPhone and Android lets you take a photo of your W2 form and fills in all the necessary blanks automatically, while TurboTax for iPad features everything you’d find with the web-based version of …
Remember that super-awesome iPad app that let you lounge around in your PJs, while simultaneously being hooked up to some 30-plus cable channels? Hopefully you’re not too attached to watching Fox on your iPad, because the television network sent a cease-and-desist letter, asking the channel to be pulled from the app.
When the app …
We don’t all have that well-read friend who can direct us to the latest news stories and blogs that he thinks we’d appreciate. That’s why there’s Zite, a free personalized iPad magazine and news discovery service that launched today.
While it’s noticeably similar to the much-loved Flipboard, Zite functions more as a web discovery …
Popular genealogy website Ancestry.com recently updated its iPhone app to version 2.0 and brought a new iPad-specific interface along for the ride.
The app provides direct access to your Ancestry.com family trees so you can view, add and edit information about your family members wherever you’ve got an internet connection.

If you’re a huge fan of the virtual band, you’ve probably heard the Gorillaz’s latest album The Fall, which was released on Christmas day. In their recent interview with Billboard, Damon Albarn dished on how he created the album and which apps he used, including Speak It!, SoundyThingie, Mugician, Funx Box Drum Machine, Gliss, AmpliTube …
