Quotes About The Waste Land for iPad


"TS Eliot's The Waste Land Replaces Angry Birds as Greatest Modernist App"

Gizmodo Sam Biddle, 12 June 2011

"This is not so much "the future of the book" as a demonstration of the potential of technology to add significant value to a work of art – in this case a written text of great importance but formidable difficulty."

The Observer John Naughton, 12 June 2011

"All in all, the technological features, and the ease with which they can be used or hidden, make for a deep and rewarding reading of "The Waste Land." It's a promising marriage of poetry and technology, and just one more reason to break down and buy an iPad."

Huffington Post John Lundberg, 10 June 2011

Quotes About Solar System for iPad

"The new Solar System for iPad app is an amazing and extraordinarily attractive resource for amateur astronomers...Solar System for iPad is an out-of-this-world digital book that is as informative as it is beautiful. It's a stellar example for other reference app makers on how to best take advantage of the tablet medium."

USA Today Marc Saltzman, 28 December 2010

"...the form, content and function are fused in near perfection...the "Orrery" is a particular treat, making good use of the iPad's "gestural interface" to allow the reader to zoom and pivot through space with a pinch or sweep of the finger on the screen."

The Guardian Alex Butterworth, 18 December 2010

Quotes About The Elements for the iPad

"The iPad's splendor and power may be best shown by The Elements: A Visual Exploration. The $13.99 program is more electronic book than traditional app, but it's not like any e-book you've seen. The periodic table of elements comes to life when you touch your finger against any element. Handsome photographs of objects spin around so you can observe them from all vantage points."

USA Today Edward Baig, 31 March 2010

"Best App of all Theodore Gray Wolfram Periodic table. Everything is animated and gorgeous. Alone worth iPad."

Stephen Fry on Twitter 31 March 2010

"it's dazzling — it makes science feel like magic in your hands."

"Indeed, the elements in this periodic table seem very much alive. The obvious way to examine static objects — say, a lump of gold (number 79) or an ingot of cast antimony (number 51) — is to rotate them, to spin the specimen with your fingertips. And that's exactly what you do here."

Boing Boing Xeni Jardin, 31 March 2010

"Among the cooler made-for-iPad apps I tried... Theodore Gray's interactive Table of Elements, with animated graphics and facts — much neater than it sounds."

Smart Device Central Tim Gideon, 31 March 2010
