100 APPS RUNNERS UP<br />

All Categories<br />

WeatherStation Free (<strong>iPad</strong>)<br />

Some <strong>iPad</strong> users will use Apple’s built-in picture<br />

frame feature to display photos; others will<br />

see the 9.7” screen as a great place for stylish<br />

displays of information. Bigsool’s aptly-named<br />

WeatherStation Free turns the screen into a<br />

wide or portrait equivalent of a digital weather<br />

tool with the time and date at the top, and large<br />

weather and temperature indications in the center.<br />

With multiple color options for the screen and<br />

text, WeatherStation outperforms the dedicated<br />

standalone devices it emulates, and the price<br />

is right, too. We’d love to see its panels become<br />

buttons to lead to even more content. FREE<br />

Pulse<br />

As one of several nextgeneration<br />

<strong>iPad</strong> RSS news<br />

readers, Pulse presents<br />

feeds with as much photo<br />

content as possible on a<br />

clean, dark grid. $2<br />

ShutterSnitch<br />

Users of EyeFi cards<br />

and other photo autouploading<br />

camera gear<br />

directly to the <strong>iPad</strong> or<br />

<strong>iPhone</strong> with this app. $8<br />

StockWatch <strong>iPad</strong><br />

Like Apple’s Stocks app<br />

on steroids, StockWatch<br />

turns an <strong>iPad</strong> into a<br />

market monitor with as<br />

many companies and<br />

indices as you want. $6<br />

Sky+<br />

U.K.-only, this app offers<br />

realtime scheduling of a<br />

BSkyB DVR directly from<br />

the <strong>iPhone</strong> with clear<br />

buttons and no need for<br />

a web interface. FREE<br />

Textie<br />

If you keep this app<br />

running and make friends<br />

aware of it, sending SMS<br />

become free - even to<br />

<strong>iPad</strong>s and <strong>iPod</strong>s. FREE<br />

Top 100s By Year<br />

Thousands of popular<br />

some of the best tracks as<br />

background audio. $2<br />

Winnie Puzzle Book<br />

Zipcar<br />

<strong>iPad</strong>- and <strong>iPhone</strong>-ready,<br />

Find and access shared<br />

this Winnie the Pooh<br />

cars from this popular car<br />

rental service using one<br />

beautiful puzzles plus a<br />

app that does everything<br />

Pooh story, with pleasant<br />

from reserving to<br />

voice narration. $1 opening up the car. FREE 63
