The Weather Channel
If you want to know the local forecast, tap into the Weather Channel app. Not
only can you see the forecast, but you can also view maps, track storms heading
through your area, and watch videos of weather occurring in your area and other
parts of the world, as shown in Figure 31-6.
Flipboard and Zite
The Flipboard app takes your favorite news sites, blogs, or social networking sites
and turns them into an attractive digital “newspaper,” as shown in Figure 31-7.For
another alternative, look at the free Zite app, which lets you choose different topics,
such as entertainment news or financial investing information, and then displays
this information in a customized digital newspaper for you to read at your leisure.
Painting and Drawing Apps
The iPad’s touch screen surface and portability make it a perfect canvas for creat-
ing anything from simple drawings to complete works of art. Get an optional stylus
or just use your finger to create paintings and drawings that rival anything you could
create on a computer using a dedicated graphics program, such as Photoshop or
Corel Painter.
