New iPhone/iPad app

My iPhone 4 started to have some issues recently when I tried to open the camera application to take a photo. The screen wobbled for about 10 seconds and then the phone would shut down.

His conversation, intended to be private I am sure, resulted in him thanking the caller and then suddenly realising, in a fit of panic, that he needed to note down a contact number.

He held his phone against his jacket and called out “Anyone have a pen?”

iBooks on the iPad

At the Learning and Skills Exhibition last week it was great to be able to show our Useful Guides in iBooks on Steve’s iPad. The iPad provides a fantastic way of reading the Useful Guides.
