Four Corners 50 YearsABC's Four Corners program just released a new app called "Four Corners 50 Years" for the iPad. It has a huge collection of stories (over 70) and videos which have featured from the program in the past, categorised by the decades.

NoteShelfSo you’ve got yourself a stylus but don’t know what app to use it with? I have tried numerous apps and NoteShelf seems to be one of the better ones if the ease of use or how responsive the pen can be are features you want. You can also type in notes and annotate them, a big advantage over Penultimate. Download here.
