Uh, this is kind of ridiculous… **sheepish grin** \u00a0Of all of these apps, I'm kind of annoyed that I paid for JotBook, Scribble Notes, Camera-A, and Twittelator Pad for Twitter.<\/p>\n

\n

I already blogged about JotBook<\/a> and Scribble Notes<\/a>. \u00a0I was too excited when I found Camera-A because the idea of using the iPhone as an external camera for the iPad sounded like such an awesome idea! \u00a0The problem was that the free companion app for the iPhone only works on the iPhone 3Gs. \u00a0Booooooooo! \u00a0There is another similar app called Camera for iPad<\/a> that I *might* try out, since it works on the iPhone 3G. \u00a0<\/div>\n

\n

As for Twittelator, I can't remember if I blogged about this or not. \u00a0However, I'll repeat what I've tweeted: I'm pretty unimpressed by the Twittelator UI. \u00a0I think it's a bad waste of screen real estate. \u00a0Please take a lesson from Twitterrific! \u00a0I appreciate that it supports posting longer tweets (though AFAIK I think it's handled by splitting tweets, not using Twitlonger, which is another thing I'm not that fond of), and sending links to Instapaper (dude, Twitterrific, what's up with that omission?), and other additional features, but I just am not liking the UI. \u00a0Yes, it's a different way to present Twitter stream information, but for my taste, it's not a good different.<\/div>\n

\n

Anyway, getting back to the list of apps, this total would've been bigger had I given in to my app-buying frenzy and gotten Things<\/a> for tasks\/to-do management, and NetNewsWire<\/a> for a Google Reader client. \u00a0Both apps are on the pricier side, hence my hesitation to buy them, but if I could get a do-over regarding the dud apps above, I would gladly download Things and NNW in their stead. \u00a0I'll probably buy those apps eventually, but at the moment I'm trying to settle down and rein in the spending for a little while.<\/div>\n

\n

P.S. \u00a0I haven't blogged about Adobe Ideas<\/a> yet, but it's a pretty nice sketching app that I think could be a decent ink blogging app for someone wanting to go the free-app route. \u00a0And yes, it's useful for sketching free-form diagrams and notes as well. :) <\/p>\n
