Animated Geometric Music Composition

I’m sure a lot of parents want to give their children as wide a range of opportunities as possible, and one way to do that is to expose them to music to see if they have any musical abilities, iPads and smart tablets go a long way in exposing children to music composition with the range of apps available.

One such app is Visua Musio by Appart. This application allows musical compilations to be composed using geometric shapes.

Fingle For iPad

Fingle for iPad is a new iPad game available through Game Oven Studios.

Fingle can be played between two people and involves them placing their fingers on buttons on the iPad and moving them to targets on the surface.

Hardcore iPad Covers

If you see anything dropped from a great height, and it survives, I automatically am fascinated. Doesn’t matter what’s dropped, but when it’s an expensive piece of technology, then I’m really impressed. The guys from G-Form managed to impress me, they dropped an iPad 1300 feet with a skydiver. And it survived, without a scratch. Granted, it was encased in one of their hardcore iPad covers which consists of the G-Form iPad cover.

G-Fome started out designing elbow, knee and shin protectors for extreme sports enthusiasts and athletes, then the military began using their products for defense and now they have moved onto covers and protection for Apple products.
