    iPhone Superday

    Today, I noticed the release of this app called Superday and I find it quite nice actually. It’s basically like Moves but it doesn’t belong to Facebook.

    iPad Pro What could Apple add to iPad to make it truly "Pro"?

    I thought it would be interesting to start a discussion about what Apple would need to add to the iPad Pro for you to consider it a "Pro" device, or for it to replace your laptop. Currently, if I needed an ultra-portable machine I'd buy a MacBook. I need apps like Toon Boom Studio, Adobe...
