With schools desperately looking for ways to scrimp and save on their already limited funding, as well as engage the students in the classroom in order to keep them on the path to post-secondary education, it’s surprising that there haven’t been more schools adding iPads to their classrooms

Dragon’s Lair HD For iPad Is A Great Throwback To Arcade Games

Similar to MobileMe, iCloud will allow users to stream music wirelessly and also sync their iOS devices like iPad and iPhone wirelessly.

Splashtop For iPad Serves A Purpose But Falls Short In Important Areas

While the iPad has long been a device that can operate almost completely on its own if you have the right apps downloaded for it, there are uses for a laptop or desktop computer that the iPad simply cannot do. One of the main deficiencies of the iPad is that there is no flash support, nor does it appear that Apple has any real desire to add that kind of support any time soon. Because of this there have been quite a few attempts to get around this by putting out browsers that can work around Apple’s feud with Adobe but there may not be a better work around than the Splashtop Remote Desktop app. With the Splashtop you can literally link to any computer that has the Splashtop software downloaded as long as that computer is outfitted with the software and is on the same Wi-Fi network. By linking up the two devices you can surf the exact same browser as you would on the PC and this provides the perfect workout for browsing to sites such as Hulu where you can watch the videos that would be impossible using just the iPad.
