10款iPad上最爱的应用程序编辑本段回目录
当乔布斯向世人推荐IPAD时,他将它描述为一个神奇的装置,很多人对此不以为然。
Silly people.
真是些傻帽。
Most iPad owners will tell you that it can indeed inspire the kind of astonishment you might have felt while watching your first magic show — that is, if the device is properly loaded.
大部分IPAD持有者会被自己的头一次IPAD体验给震撼到——当然,如果它装上了合适的应用。
Here are my 10 favorite apps, plus a few extras to make the iPad magic happen:
想让IPAD真的神奇起来,这里是我最爱用10款应用,外加一些特别放送。
IWORK ($30, or $10 each for Pages, Keynote or Numbers): Since you can’t type easily on an iPad, it may never replace your laptop. But with this software, which is made by Apple, you won’t need to rush to your other computers to edit Microsoft Office files. The Pages app is great for revising and exporting text files; the Numbers app is good (and getting better) with spreadsheets; and Keynote is a serviceable complement to PowerPoint.
IWORK($30, 或每项功能(Pages,Keynote,Numbers)$10):
因为不方便输入打字,IPAD可能永远也难以替代你的笔记本电脑。但是,有了这款苹果公司发布的应用,你不用再奔去你的其他电脑去编辑OFFICE文档了。Pages应用能够很好的编辑输出txt文件;Numebers应用功能堪比电子表格(甚至更佳);Keynote完全能够替代PowerPoint的功能。
AIR DISPLAY ($10): Turn your iPad screen into an extra PC monitor with Air Display, and never again miss a new Twitter post, Facebook post or stock market move.
AIR DISPLAY ($10):
此款应用能够将你的IPAD变成另一块电脑显示屏,这样你就永远不用担心错失任何股市行情的变动或者Twitter, Facebook的更新。
FLIPBOARD (free): Twitter and Facebook rely on “new stuff on top” layouts, with links that send you elsewhere to see what people are fussing about. Flipboard rationalizes this editorial insanity. The app plops your Facebook feed into a magazine format, showing all the stories your friends recommended, with photos and updates. You can create other personalized magazines from Twitter feeds, on topics of your choice.
FLIPBOARD (免费):
Twitter和Facebook在布局上虽然都将“新鲜事”置顶,却需要通过链接才能看到到底发生了什么。Flipboard帮你重新将内容排版,消除这种不便。它将你的Facebook订阅导入一个类似杂志的格式里。你可以一次性看到更新的全部内容,包括评论,照片和更新状态。你还可以利用Twitter订阅定制特定话题的私人杂志。
STAR WALK ($5): A jaw-dropping astronomy app. Hold the iPad toward the night sky and it labels everything. You can also preview the movement of tonight’s sky, or witness a particular night sky from centuries ago. Star Walk is billed as an educational app, but it’s as entertaining as anything on the market.
STAR WALK ($5):
一个非常奇妙的星象应用。只要将IPAD对着星空,他就能绘出所有星图。你不仅可以预览当晚的夜空,还能欣赏数世纪前某夜的星象。他在购买时被归类为教育类应用,但他的娱乐性不低于市面上任何其他应用。
SKETCHBOOK PRO ($8): Experienced artists can create masterpieces with this program. Hobbyists and children can happily lose themselves for hours. The app is powerful, yet fairly intuitive.
SKETCHBOOK PRO ($8):
艺术家们能用这个应用创作出绝佳的作品。爱好者和孩子们则很乐于在这个应用上耗上数小时也不觉得厌烦。总之,这个应用很强大,同时也很容易操作。
NETFLIX (free, but requires a paid Netflix subscription): The iPad renders video beautifully, and Netflix streams a nearly limitless catalog of movies and TV shows to the device. Fast, easy, addicting.
NETFLIX(免费,但订阅要付费):
IPAD的视频播放效果极佳,而Netflix则能够向系统导入一个范围一个近乎无限广电影电视目录。快速,简单,还很容易上瘾。
FRUIT NINJA HD ($5): On the iPad’s big screen, this game will give you more of a jolt than Angry Birds. (But do yourself a favor and download that one too.) The task: swipe your finger to slice flying fruit. Hit a bomb and your ninja days are numbered. A recent update added online multi-player functionality.
FRUIT NINJA HD ($5):
在IPAD的大显示屏上,这款游戏玩起来比Angry Birds感觉更HIGH。(不过,帮帮忙,麻烦把那个游戏也装上。)这个游戏的任务是:滑动手指将正在飞的水果切片。击中炸弹使你的生命值翻倍。最新版本里添加了在线多人竞技功能。
INSTAPAPER ($5): Great articles typically appear when you have no time to read them. Instapaper quickly stores links, so you can read the full articles later, from within the app. Instapaper also remembers articles you’ve saved with the free online version. Some will find setting up the service on an iPad frustrating, but it is worth it.
INSTAPAPER ($5):
好文章总是在你没时间读的时候出现。Instapaper能够快速储存链接,让你稍后有空时在该应用中阅读。它还能够记住你储存的在线免费版文章。一些人可能会觉得设置系统的过程很令人抓狂,不过这是很值得的。
PANDORA RADIO (free): Fans of the personalized radio service will appreciate the big-screen format, which is great for reading liner notes and browsing artists and songs. The music selections and ads (if you don’t pay for upgraded service) are the same as on the iPhone or online version.
PANDORA RADIO (免费):
热爱定制电台的粉丝们会很爱这款大屏模式的应用。不管是浏览注释还是表演者和歌曲的名称,他都很方便。音乐推荐和广告(如果你不购买他的升级版本的话)适合IPHONE或者在线版本完全一样的。
EVERNOTE (free): Another bigger-is-better entry. Evernote stores notes, photos and voice memos, so you can retrieve them later on any Web-connected device. The service offers a fair amount of free storage, but you can skip the limit for $45 a year.
EVERNOT(免费):
另一个“越大越好”的借口。 Evernote能够存储笔记,图片,声音备忘录,让你将他们在在任何一个有网络连接的设备上编辑。此项服务提供了相当大的储存空间。当然,你也可以每年支付45美金去获得无限大的储存空间。
