AirDisk Pro – Wireless Flash Drive
Published March 24, 2012 | 
I’ve just been using AirDisk Pro that turns the iPad into a flash drive. It works like a charm to wirelessly transfer files to the device where it offers the ability to either read your files within the app or use the Open In feature to transfer them over to apps that support it.
The biggest feature with AirDisk Pro is the ability to drag and drop multiple files. You connect with a browser and if offers a hotspot to drop your files. There is a simple but effective gauge to show percentage complete of the transfer.
While connected you can also create folders, delete and rename files, and download them to the Host computer.It’s really an effective way to get files on and off the iPad.
AirDisk Pro has a decent reader built in, but you can easily open your documents in other applications using the Open In command. Click to open your file then click the Open In command down in the left corner. For example, when working with a PDF file I can open it in QuickOffice, Notability, iNoteBox HD, Notebooks, GoodReader, Stanza or the Kindle reader. Nice, very nice.
As with other apps, there is no setup, just type the IP address in a browser and you’re connected.
Full list of supported formats:
Audio (WAV, MP3, M4A, CAF, AIF, AIFF, AAC)
Images (JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIF, TIFF, ICO)
Movies (MP4, MOV, MPV, M4V)
iWorks (Pages, numbers, and Keynote)
Microsoft Office (Word, Excel and PowerPoint)
RTF (Rich Text Format)
RTFD (TextEdit with embedded images)
PDF Documents
Plain text
Source code
HTML web pages
Web archives
Just to try out the app, I opened and 18MB PDF of 500+ pages and it had no problem letting me read it and zoom. The built in viewer doesn’t have niceties of swiping pages, highlighting text or annotating, but I have no doubt some of that function will be forthcoming. And if not, plenty of other apps out there than handle it if you need it.
The only negative, which is minor, is that File Manager could use some work. It works, and you can move files, but it’s a little awkward compared to other apps I’ve used, GoodReader for example.
Overall the app is excellent. The reader works for general purposes, the drag and drop is extremely useful and at a price of only $0.99 you just can’t beat it. This sort of functionality should be built into iOS, but I’ll accept this as a kickass alternative.
If you want to treat your iPad like a flash drive by transferring multiple files wirelessly, then this is the app for you.

Flick Quarterback, Flick Kicker, Flick Kick Field Goal
Published February 3, 2012 | Well, the Superbowl is nearly here so it’s time to be the armchair Quarterback you’ve always longed to be. Or Kicker as the case may be. I much prefer the no pads, no rules, I don’t understand what’s going on down there game of Aussie Rules Football, but I admit to playing American football from time to time. I picked up three new games which have kept me entertained for hours so far – Flick Quarterback, Flick Kicker, Flick Kick Field Goal. Each is a mere $0.99 and features excellent graphics, well tuned game play, and simple but effect challenges to idle the time away.
Flick Quarterback gives you the chance to run plays, dodge rushers and try complete the pass. You can also work on drills, put the ball in the bucket, and complete plays.
Flick Kicker puts you in charge of making field goals from outrageous distances as well as challenging you with precision drill like hitting the uprights, splitting the uprights, kicking into zones in a specific order and making the long kick against the wind.
Flick Kick Field Goal is similar to Flick Kicker, but it’s not quite so arcade like. You have similar drills of making long kicks into the wind, hitting targets in order, running drills. It just as entertaining as the rest and you’ll wonder where the time went.
The first two feature officially licensed NFL teams, complete with logos and dance moves. You can also put some "English" on the ball and give it some spin to try and control the angle. That adds an interesting element.
So which one would I choose? I wouldn’t. I would get all three. Seriously, they’re 99 cents. How can you be cheap and not get all three? They’re all a heck of a lot of fun, run very well and feature nice smooth graphics.
Don’t just take my word for it, even though you should, check out hundreds of high ratings and check out the developer websites:
