It is rare for me to get overwhelmingly excited about an app, but Flipboard is something very special.

You see, when I purchased my iPad, I had a very specific idea about what I wanted to use it for, and that was to consume media, specifically media from blogs and social networks. However to do that I had to use a separate app depending on what I wanted to consume. Safari for Facebook, Hootsuite for Twitter, Google Reader for my RSS subscriptions, etc. Plus most of these were not built specifically with iPad in mind.

They have been putting out some great apps recently and I thought that “Nursery Rhymes with Storytime” was particularly worth noting.

The iPad gaming app “Angry Brids HD” has ruffled some feathers.

When the game is paused or a level is restarted, the user must sit through a brief animated advertisement before resuming play. There is no option to skip the ad. Reactions to the ads have been swift and scathing.

Considering this is a $4.99 HD app, I don’t blame them.
