There’s a lovely red folio with a perforated cover, sitting closed on my desk. A quick tug on the plastic tab up front opens it up, simultaneously waking the iPad 2 and the chiclet-style Bluetooth keyboard beneath. Pulling the keyboard forward adjusts the angle of the iPad, and magnets embedded …

  The folks at DRACOdesign Inc and Deff have taken what they’ve learned from their gorgeous handcrafted aluminum DRACO IV bumper, which we reviewed last summer, and created a polycarbonate version called the CLEAVE Crystal Edition.  The benefit here is that the end product looks very similar but only weighs 9 grams. …

There’s a fair amount of congratulating to be done when it comes to the release of Instapaper 4.2. Not only did Marco Arment manage to improve upon the reading experience of his best-in-class app, but he did so while welcoming a new member into his family. There’s a lot to …

Drafts is one of the simplest and fastest note apps out there, and Ben Brooks' comparison of Drafts to Post-It notes is probably one of the best I've seen thus far. One of the most interesting things about Drafts is that its default behaviour is to display a blank note, …

Rarely do you begin a review and describe the device as simply “The Monster”. But when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy Note, it’s hard to describe it in any other terms, at least the first time you lay your hands on one. In the current market, there’s nothing that …

I’ve been looking for a single app to be the photo editing kit on my iPhone and iPad, and – to my surprise – iPhoto might just be that app. There’s definitely quite a learning curve to iPhoto on iOS, but I really like how the app focuses more on …

It features a very comfortable nine-degree tilt, chiclet-style keys, and a very dramatic illuminated design that really shines at night time. Glowing Review I’d say that the major selling point of the luna is its …

WeatherWOW is an app that combines today’s weather, the week’s forecast, and local news into one interface. Set up is as simple as typing the names of up to 10 cities into the app. After that, loading WeatherWOW up on either the iPhone or the iPad presents you with a …

As several of us here at iSource are getting our hands on the new iPad today, some of the hotshots tech journalists have been given review units. Overwhelmingly the reviews are positive. Here’s what they have to say: The Verge – “… easily the most beautiful computer display I have …

Byword is a word, a Mac app for the generation of words, and, as of yesterday, also an iOS app for the mobile generation of words. Byword is exemplary of how to make a writing app on the iPhone and iPad. That’s certainly high praise, but well deserved. Byword for iOS …

I used to love writing on the iPhone. I got a real kick out of typing 1000-word drafts out on the 3.5″ screen in apps like Notesy and having them sync wirelessly back to my Mac for final editing. Purchasing an iPad 2 changed a lot of my writing habits, …
