A nice new free app has hit the App Store, called FlexPlayer. This app is similar to CineXPlayer and VLC in that you drag video files to your device via iTunes Home Sharing, and the app converts the video when you watch it, saving you time.

FlexPlayer is free, and if you’re looking for the easiest way to watch non-Apple friendly videos on your iPad, this one looks like … Read More

Now, using the latest news-providing technologies, The Onion … Read More

The iPad 2 launches on Friday in Canada at 5pm (people are already in line). As most of you know, the new Smart Cover is a pure work of art. It protects the screen of the iPad, but what about the back?
