ipoe_free_app_friday2

We kick off our Free App Friday series with iPoe - The Interactive and Illustrated Edgar Allan Poe Collection from Spanish developer Play Creatividad.  This top-rated app incorporates three Edgar Allan Poe classics - ”The Oval Portrait,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” and “The Masque of the Red Death.” This great app will be on sale for free this weekend so be sure to give it a try.

We reviewed iPoe earlier last year and found it was a perfect introduction (or re-introduction) to Poe’s work and featured great artwork and sound effects. While many readers may be unwilling to tackle a novel written two century’s ago, most readers will find these three stories ask little of the reader and give much in return.

Download iPoe now for free and find out why we think it’s a must own title for all iPad owners, whether they are avid book app readers or simply curious to see what a stellar adaptation of classic literature looks like.

If you’re a developer and would like to see your app featured in our weekly Free App Friday series please contact us. We’ll tell you how to get started and best of all, unlike many other free app programs out there, PadGadget’s Free App Friday is completely free!

F-Secure AndroidEvery once in a while, Apple will accidentally let a fraudulent app slip into the App Store. The infamous fake Pokemon game is a perfect example of that. When ever something like this happens, you’ll see the obligatory “shame on Apple” comment by people who seem to think the company has some magical wand that seeks out and destroys fakes and frauds and malicious nogoodniks. When you compare the amount of malware that Apple has with the amount of malware that Android has, it makes you wonder why anyone complains at all.

streamingmusicAccording to The New York Post, the reason negotiations have stalled between record companies and Apple in regards to the Cupertino-based company’s potential Internet music service has to do with royalty rates. Apparently, Apple is offering a price that’s far too low, which has record companies reluctant to accept.

Apple initially proposed a royalty payment of 6 cents per 100 songs streamed, which is exactly half of the 12 cents per 100 songs that Pandora pays. Pandora is currently the leading radio service, though recently, the company has been forced to limit its free users to 40 hours of mobile listening per week due to cost increases.

13.03.07-ResaleSince the advent of digital media, consumers have cried foul at the inability to do what ever they want with their music, movies, and e-books. The resistance against digital rights management (DMR) coding was so great that many music distributors have stopped using it in digital downloads. It is still nearly impossible to buy an ebook or movie and make a copy of it for a friend without doing something illegal. However, as files replace discs more and more, it is becoming necessary to find ways for consumers to be able to share purchased content with others without having to break the law. AppleInsider recently discovered a patent that Apple applied for in June of 2012 that would essentially allow users to resell or loan out digital content to others.
