"The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore" is like a well-written bedtime story and an immersive animated movie at once.
E-books are already a fraught subject for many readers, writers, publishers and designers, but children's e-books are even more so. Is it rotting their minds? Is it as good as good ol' paper? Is it too interactive for their own good? Obviously there are no practical answers to such questions, but at least one children's e-book/app/thingie (what do we call these things, again?) is doing it very, very right. It's called "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore," and it's like a well-written bedtime story and an immersive animated movie at once -- without being "too much" of either.

Prepping a lot of iPad coverage - thought I'd step back to my roots as a Music Synth guy. The business of music and the production of music have certainly changed dramatically over the years.

"Rana Sobhany, http://twitter.com/ranajune , rocked the house over the weekend at the iPad Dev Camp in Silicon Valley and here we learn how she was DJ'ing there. You can find her DJ site at http://www.destroythesilence.com/ and she's put all the apps she's using here: http://www.destroythesilence.com/apps"

"When engineering and computer science grad students Akshay Kothari and Ankit Gupta were struggling to come up with a new software product for the iPad, they turned to the Institute of Design at Stanford for some direction. Six weeks later, they had set up a company, Alphonso Labs, and successfully launched their product—a popular news aggregator app for the iPad called Pulse.
Less than a month after it hit market, Pulse made headlines when Steve Jobs showed it off at an Apple keynote and was at one point the most popular iPad app in the iTunes store (even after it ran into a bit of controversy). "We're a great example of how truly analytical types got to explore our creative sides," Kothari says. "All we needed was some guidance."
Design-speak can be fluffy and conceptual, and practical-minded types can have problems soaking it in. But if you can get it past your left brain, Kothari and Gupta say, the basic blueprint that designers use to propose projects for clients can be useful in helping you think outside the box in a business setting."
