Cold Open
We're going guerrilla style with Guerrilla Bob in the iPad game review, plus we've got Amanda Coolong from This Week in Cloud Computing live from CES on This Week in iPad.
You can follow the show on twitter @TWiiPad. You can also follow Andrea @andrearene and Jacob @jacobburch. You can also email the show ipad@thisweekin.com. Plus we have two chatrooms you can join in. The first is at youtube.com/thiweekin and the second is at ustream.tv/thisweekin. Please join us. We'd love to hear from you.
iPad Game of the Week!
For this week's game Andrea chose Guerrilla Bob HD. Normally, Andrea goes with the hottest game of the week. This week she chose a game that isn't necessarily wildly popular, but it's fun. The gameplay is good for a joystick shooter on a touchscreen and there's multiple levels to conquer. Best of all, the game is only $0.99, cheaper than the iPhone version.
CES 2011
This week, thousands of companies displayed new and upcoming products at the Consumer Electronics Show. Amanda Coolong was among the visitors and called the show to share some what's coming in electronics.
Planet of the Apps
Fitness Apps
We've covered fitness apps before but we wanted to come back to the category because of the new year.
Dotti's Food Score
Andrea's first app this week is Dotti's Food Score. It allows you to look up foods on the fly. You can find nutritional info and weightwatchers points of any food you have.
LIVESTRONG Calorie Tracker
Jacob's first app this week is the LIVESTRONG Calorie Tracker. The app seems poorly designed and clunky and unless you're a heavy livestrong.com user, Jacob says avoid it because there are apps that are free that do the same thing as this and are free. Andrea mentioned this as an example.
FitnessClass
Next, Andrea reviews FitnessClass. The app allows users to scroll through several workout and fitness programs although they aren't free.
Dreambot
Jacob's final app this week is Dreambot. Jacob used to be a bit overweight and the number one thing he attributes to his weight loss was quitting caffeine and getting a full nights sleep. This app plays ambient noise to help you get to sleep. Although you can fade the screen, the ads don't go away and if you lock the screen, the app stops working. That said, it's free so why not?
Winner: Jacob and Andrea think that Dotti's is the best app this week.
