a photographic cookbook on iPad!? lushly photographed food and ingredients to make up 60 recipes step-by-step from across the spectrum (meat, fish, vegetarian and dessert). loads of extra photos for the small detailed bits. their use of styled food photos, typography and a visual presentation sense better than most food related apps i have seen makes this a winner. the recipes they selected are tempting!

a fresh take on note-taking, brainstorming, flowcharting, and what-not. an extremely intuitive user interface gives using the application a curiously rewarding feel.

amazingly simple no fumble music controls while driving. use gestures to control so eyes are on the road. swipe left/right to skip tracks, tap to pause. nice!

super simple and clean note pad app replacement for iPad that uses (of course) Helvetica as its defacto typeface. you can type notes, change the backdrop color, highlight color and text color. includes a basic drawing tool as well for sketching your next user interface or type specimen. über cool!

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.

Superb new wireframing application available for iPad. Does everything you would expect including multiple pages and projects, templated UI objects and easy editing all delivered through a simple interface. More features are promised in future releases but worth definitely worth the money right now.
