Do more with your iPad

Came across two amazing apps for iPad which have filled the gap I was looking for and taken my iPad experience to a new level. The first one being Blogsy- the blogging app. Unlike its counterparts, it offers rich viewing along with raw HTML. Also, adding pictures, videos just got easy with it. Within two clicks you can select the source of media and the location to store it. It is very easy to drag and position the image on the screen.

You can add multiple accounts, create local copies of the posts etc. But the great thing about the app is the easy access to your blog and editing comfort.

The second app is the web albums. It is a Picasa web album viewer, uploader and downloader. And what a UI, I am overwhelmed with the work these guys have done. They have replicated the pictures app on the iPad along with the pinch to go back, swipe to next gestures. Click on the photo and you can see all the camera EXIF data. Add captions to the photos, upload new ones, even move pictures between your web albums - wow! It even gives you option to cache entire albums locally, and adjust the cache limit as per your wish.

While still amazed with the above two apps, I came across a photo editing app - Photogene for iPad. It features more than 2 dozens of editing tools which are very effective. This app definitely has the capability to shift the photo editing platform from laptop to iPad.
