there're so many apps catered to this. if you key in "malaysia news" in itunes store, loads of em will pop out.

im not sure of the performances of the other free apps catered to individual newspapers, but ive been using this >> http://itunes.apple.com/ie/app/malaysia-rs...d443746096?mt=8 .

as it's a universal app, it's great on both iphone and ipad. as the name suggests, it's a news aggregator so it aggregates many online paper such as star, nst, bharian, m'sia kini and more.

truthfully though, none of the apps in app store is a 'full on paper' [correct me if im wrong]. all these are just feeds from their online counterpart - so it'll never be as complete as the hard copied versions. i only use the app when i dont have access to a newspaper.

Added on June 21, 2011, 3:21 pmp/s: just realised that the app i recc'd is a re-released version of the malaysia news app. when i bought it early this January - it was only EUR 0.79 / USD 0.99 and my last updated version was at 3.0.3

and the one in app store right now is priced at EUR 1.59 / USD 1.99 and is given version no of 1.0. and was only added in the app store on the 20th of June. [plus now it requires an iOS of 4.3 or later....]

[it's on sale now btw until July 1st - for only EUR 0.79 / USD 0.99]

pp/s: im in no way endorsing this app. just so happened that i posted this on the day that the app got a refresh....

and as ive said above, its a good app but i only ever uses it when i have no access to a real newspaper......

Me too. But looking at their price history - it kinda seem impossible. Fingers crossed though

Yeah, but they've only ever had one sale in history from 1.99 to 0.99 and this was when they havent increased the price to 4.99 as of now

Hoping for a thanksgiving/christmas sale this year

Has anyone ever tried Sundry Notes? I think it's a pretty good FREE note taking app among all the other free apps. Has a pro option at USD 2.39 iiinm, but the free version as far as ive tried is kinda full featured-and it's supported by a small ad at the bottom of the screen and is unnoticeable.

Has export as pdf function (will be watermarked if uisng free app), and an 'import' function for gogle docs, evernote, box.net (not sync mind you, and is only meant for previewing - which means no editing)

Anyway, worth a try in my books.

you're right. and the promotion is still valid as of now. the unfortunate thing? ive already bought it.

definitely a worty game to dl though, and for free too!

s/he meant Waze.

It's a free social GPS.

I've never used my iPad 2 as a main GPS, but have fired up my Sygic[universal app] using iPad from time to time (as a passenger) when the driver's GPS gone wonky. I don't know how one would use a device as big as an iPad as a navigation though if you're driving alone.

As far as I've used Sygic in my iPhone, I'm quite content with it. Area used are Ipoh, Sungai Buloh, Subang, Shah Alam, KL, Kelantan, and Melaka. Plus, as I've said it's a universal app, so you don't need to spend twice.
