A Tippek dobozból: Több háttérkép kiválasztása, Gyors iBook navigáció és nyomon követési alkalmazások árai

I’ve gotten pretty comfortable reading books on my iPad (it’s no e-ink screen but it gets the job done). One thing that I’ve always been annoyed by with ebooks is that you can’t easily “flip” from one part of the book to the other. It turns out I was just overlooking a feature in iBook. If you tap the screen to bring up the navigation controls a dotted line appears across the bottom of the screen. Swipe that line and you can “flip” through the book at lightening speed to any page you want.

Earlier this year I discovered a service called AppShopper. Prior to AppShopper I felt like I was always just missing great deals on iPhone and iPad apps (like a $5 app I’d had my eye on was on sale for $0.99 but I missed the sale by a day). AppShopper let’s you make wish lists of applications you’d like to buy and then alerts you when the app drops in price. You can even get an actual app for your phone that pushes notifications so you never miss the updates. Since I got the app and started my wishlist on AppShopper I’ve scored piles of apps for free or $0.99 (when the original price was $5+ or more).

I haven’t been able to find a similar service for Android so if you know of one I’d love to hear about it!
