Adobe Photoshop Express – Review
Adobe Photoshop has been the de facto photography/image editing program for many years.

LightWake – App Review
LightWake is an alarm clock for the iPad that gently wakes you up with soothing music and gradual light, like a sunrise. The sunrise duration can be set anywhere from 10 minutes to 60 minutes, during which time the screen gets brighter and the accompanying music increases in volume. In theory: a great idea. But not for me.

Brenthaven also provides you with a strap that can be used to secure the iPad in the case on the back of a front seat in a vehicle so that kids or passengers can watch a video while the car drives down the road.

Jacket for iPad – Review
The one thing that everyone immediately notices is that you cannot just stick your iPad in your pocket as you can with your iPhone or cellphone and go. You either need to place your iPad in a case or into a bag to transport it around.

Commuter Series Case for iPad
Review
I decided to go with the Commuter series case for the iPad, wanting to protect my iPad but I didn’t really want to totally encase it. The Commuter is designed to be stylish yet protect your iPad from the everyday clumsiness that befall all of us. Inside the package is a polycarbonate outer shell to offer one layer of protection, a silicone skin that is there to cushion the impact and provide a soft interior shell for your iPad to rest in and a clear screen protector, designed to cut down on the greasy fingerprints and scratches that we all leave on the front of our iPads. As you can see in the pictures, Otterbox gives you everything you need to protect your iPad. Yet with all of this, the added weight to your iPad is minimal, being only 7.2 ounces.
