The movie awards trivia application is quite simple and it is probably just as well that it is being offered at a reduced price when you consider what it does. It could do with more social network connectivity and it could also do with more opportunities of user interactivity within the application.

If you are a movie buff them you could have quite a bit of fun out of this Movie Awards Trivia application. It doesn't make full use of the multimedia possibilities in being an iPad application but it might be okay if you see it as the first version of an application which might get better over time.

Using the iBooks Author application to create an electronic text book. Part of the job means putting in some review questions to help reinforce the learning process for students.

I think this is one of the best features of iBooks, the way that you can put these sets of questions in there to help get across important bits of data to the reader of the iBook textbook.

Obviously some people have come up with some good ideas to make picture editing online useful in specific ways, but I would still rather grab a good application like Pixelmator. Acorn is another good image editor that you can use on your Mac to edit your photos and I would recommend it even though I do actually just use Pixelmator and Art Text 2 for just about all of my photo editing and graphic design. Art text 2 is particularly good for creating logos while Pixelmator is an all-rounder editing app for photos and making bitmap graphic design. Pixelmator does also have a small amount of vector design within it, although it is not terribly useful. In fact the vector design that is part of Art Text 2 which allows me to take individual letters from a section of text and manipulate them so that they are hopefully much more interesting in a variety of ways, is a useful addition to the Art Text 2 application.
