[iPad] Turn your iPad into an extra monitor for your desktop with iDisplay

[Chrome] Take notes right in your browser with Memo Notepad

[iPad] Lead a terrifyingly cute band with My Singing Monsters
About a week ago, I walked in on my fiancee sitting in our room. She had her iPad in her lap, and strange, musical noises were coming from it. Confused, I came closer only to find that she had what appeared to be a white, big-mout...
