04 Amazing new clipboard
Want to copy/paste more than one thing and put it aside
for a while? Xinfinite has enhanced iXiu - an enhanced
visualized pasteboard application. In your favorite
application, you want to copy/paste more than one thing and
put it aside for a while, even if your computer has
restarted. Operating Systems aren't created with this in
mind.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
05 Build your own polls
AppGeneration Software has released NPolls 1.1 for iOS,
an update to their unique polling app that enables users to
simultaneously express their opinions, and earn cash.
Version 1.1 now enables users to create their own polls.
Surveys can be created within the App for a very small price.

06 MakeUseOf
I have mentioned this site before, but haven't done so
in a while. Make Use Of presents PDF documents telling how
to do things. In this case, the title is iPad: A Magical and
Revolutionary Guide.

07 Chrono Span for iOS
Joshua Waller, an independent mobile application
developer, has announced the release of Chrono Span for the
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. This mobile countdown utility
allows users to select specific days - either in the future
or in the past - and keep a rolling count of how much time
has either gone by since a day was selected or how many days
are left until a selected day or event will come up.

08 iBank 4.2
IGG Software has announced the release of iBank 4.2, a

application. The new version delivers multiple enhancements
including in-line editor calculations, improved transaction
entry and split editing, and enhanced rules for complex
imports. The update is free to current users of iBank 4.

collection of over 400 comic strips, "The Funnies."

10 TechTool Pro 6
For 20 years, Mac users have relied on TechTool for
diagnostics, maintenance and drive repair. In this new
version, Micromat has added features to help Mac users
diagnose hardware problems and make it easier to fix issues
on their hard drives, including those with internal solid
state drives (SSD's or flash storage), plus provide for
dependable backup and recovery of Mac volumes.
