Read MoreTVNZ announce iPad app in [rubbish] style
After the release of the iPad in New Zealand yesterday all the news outlets were jumping on it, including of course TVNZ (specifically One News). The report was, well rubbish and it seemed as if they were trying to attack the iPad at one stage because it was a device for consuming media, not creating and because it didn’t multitask.

Kiwi app review: New Zealand Herald for iPad (video and gallery)
The New Zealand Herald has launched an iPad app, just in time for the launch of the device here. I won’t beat about the bush: it’s fantastic, it’s beautiful, and it’s free. If you’ll forgive the obvious irony, words don’t really do this kind of app justice so we’ve gone hands-on with a video review and a gallery of screenshots. Hit the ‘read more’.
Read MoreFirst iPhone 4 app review: LED Torch
Even if a little overdue one of the great new hardware features on the iPhone 4 is the LED camera flash. Not only have Apple shown us the light so to speak they have also granted developers API access to the LED flash light. This will no doubt see an onslaught of apps taking advantage of this but one of the first out of the blocks is local NZ developers and friends of the site Smudge Apps.
Hit the read more to find out how they are using the LED in their new app.

App Store Essentials: Sella
As we reported just the other day, Sella.co.nz is available now on the app store. Now I’ve had more of a chance to play with it, what do I think? Well I have to say it’s great and has changed the way I will sell online. In fact it’s an app that we feel is an essential app for New Zealanders and so we have added Sella to our App store Essentials. Hit the read more for, well, more and a gallery full of screenshots.
Read MoreiPhonewzealand NZ Essentials App has been updated
Just a quick heads-up to let you know our app, NZ Essentials, has been updated (v.1.0.5). The update brings iOS4 support so it now remembers the last screen you were in, handy if you use the web view a lot, and some bug and crash fixes.
Previously the first time you loaded the app the NZ Spotlight section would freeze and the app would crash. This has now been resolved and the app no longer crashes.
Hit the read more for a link to the app store or hop in now and check for updates.

App Preview: Sella
For some time now, iPhone users have been asking for a Trademe or Sella app. TradeMe users have been more vocal than Sella when it comes to talking about an app (and more-so why they don’t have one), perhaps due to the sheer number of TradeMe users. But little did we know that Sella have been quietly working away in the background on an app which is sure to see the folk at TradeMe snapping their pencils.
They have just submitted the app to the store and it should be live within the next few days and will be free to download. They have sent us a preview to take a look at and we’ll be doing a full review soon. Join us after the break for a quick look and a few images to whet the appetite..

Now that iOS 4 is available, New Zealand Radio Streams (formerly Radio New Zealand) has been updated to take advantage of multitasking. But how does it perform? Read on to find out more.

Fun app review: World Cup Schedule
Gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!
If we were to review every world cup 2010 app in the app store we would probably still be typing away long after the final whistle has blown, there are that many to choose from, free and paid from some well known trusted sports names and some not so well known. The app I have gone out on a limb with and have chosen to recommend and review is World Cup Schedule. How on earth did I pick this one over the others? read on to find out.

App Review: Whitcoulls eBook reader and store [gallery]
I don’t know, you wait around forever for a decent eBook reader with a store that actually works in New Zealand and what do you know – two turn up at once.

Here comes Whitcoulls, completely out of the blue, crashing the party early and ready to nick your pocket money! Ready to go hands-on? Hit the link.
