Bloom HD is part of the growing category of musical instrument apps on iPad, but with a difference. This application was developed by Peter Chilvers in partnership with Ambient/Electronic music wunderkind Brian Eno.

The Moscone Center is fully decorated for Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference starting tomorrow, June 7.

Another rushed iPad app bit the dust today – the St George banking application was pulled from the iPad app store. While parts of it were good, looking at the core banking part, it’s not hard to see why.
The main app screen has an attractive coverflow-based selection of the services they offer and a Google Maps integrated store finder. Initially it’s not a bad app at all.
But when you click the button to do your banking, there’s no attractive in-app banking but rather, your browser opens to reveal the same site you could have manually navigated to.
Purpose of the app? We’re not sure either. And it’s possible St George agrees, with the app having just disappeared off the App Store.

If you’re like me – filling up your iPad with as many quality applications, music, videos as you can get your hands on – you might be finding the internal storage is becoming a little claustrophobic. Never fear, iTunes has your covered with a smart feature included new in iTunes 9.
