the famous post-modern pixel artists eBoy have done it and released an unique and addictive tilting puzzle app. think of the game labyrinth and add in their pixel art for a spin on things. it all starts out easy, but as you progress the puzzles get progressively more mind bending. some are so difficult you need to spend some time thinking on how to solve them. special thanks to delicious toys in berlin for developing this app for my favorite art subversives eBoy!

a graphical and interactive compilation of the known architect and designer Renzo Piano as framed from the lense of Abitare (the italian architecture magazine). the experience on the iPad is actually very elegant and diverse. it offers a number of different methods to interact with the content, multiple swipe variations, click and touch, zoom, and traditional scrolling. the imagery and content speaks for itself. This foray into the digital realm and specifically for iPad for a classical publication like Abitare is inspiring. expensive (£9 or $11) but well worth it.

amazing photo archive of manhole covers in japan which have fantastic colors and designs embellished on them. a companion to the book published by remo camerota, a well known photographer, artist and director living in japan. remo has captured the essence of the art in digital form. makes me want to travel back to japan to visit again!

very elegantly presented book app that tells the Alice story in an interactive manner. you affect aspects of the story narrative by tilting your iPad in various directions. the illustrations, sound design and overall construction of this interactive book is just stunning! i have seen this first hand and def suggest it to anyone who wants to show off, but also would enjoy reading the alice in wonderland story all over again (adults and kids)!

i HAVE to post on CR releasing an app as its one of my fave magazine publications. still scratching my head as to why they did not release an iPad app instead to showcase the works? for the price I also would have expected it to be more than a elaborate slideshow of work but, incl. audio clips, native h264 video not youtube, wallpapers for personal use). regardless, CR is top notch design and they showcase it well in the 2010 annual.

useful for fans of architecture and self guided walking/driving tours. selected the Los Angeles one as it has stunning modern architecture in the city. my favorites is the Neutra House! interface is pretty slick, colorful, and easy to use. def would rec this for anyone traveling who wants a proper architectural exploration of any of the other cities they have tours apps for.

there are a few other wikipedia apps, but, none that are as polished as this one. albeit there are some features that people have mentioned its lacking, it makes up for it in simplicity, ease of use and the way it renders the wikipedia content itself. i look forward to future enhancements of this app.
