051812_FitnessTabletApps1.jpgWith swimsuit season right around the corner, it's that time of year when one might turn their thoughts towards getting in shape. Whether your goals are to look better at the beach or to be healthier (or both!), we've brought together these apps, which all work on both the iPad and Android, to help you make good on your goals.

051712_CleaningContacts2.jpgRecently, after switching to a temporary SIM while traveling, I discovered my contacts list was left a mess. To make matters worse, phone syncing was updating with incorrect information, affecting my permanent SIM card at home (via cloud syncing). I realize I could have totally prepared and avoided this situation with just a few changes in my contacts list...

051612_iPadDIY1.jpgLove your first generation iPad case but now have the new iPad? While the design between the generations has not radically changed, there are enough differences to make a case designed for the first generation not workable for the other two iPad iterations.

051112_readerrecoapps1.jpgBack in March we shared some of our favorite apps that help keep little ones entertained on long trips. At the end of the post, we asked our community to share some of the apps that their kids love and in this roundup, we've brought together their fantastic kid and parent approved tablet app suggestions.

050912_TechTravelTips1.jpgAs someone who has jumped several frequent flier tiers since January, I've learned some tips that have helped me make this travel, almost all of which was international, be a bit less bumpy. Because of what I do and what I enjoy, I don't travel very light when it comes to tech. While this can mean more headaches, it doesn't have to, especially if you follow this advice.

050512-app-homedecor.jpgA few months ago we looked at apps that will help you lay out the furniture in your home by creating 3D maps of the interiors. In this edition of the tablet app roundup, we turn our attention to apps that will help to serve as inspiration in interior decorating, so while these two roundups sound similar, they are both handy tools for your interior decorating tool kit.

One of our favourite sources for DIY inspiration is Instructables. The clever Instructables community has set their minds to solving many a problem, and we are happy to benefit from the DIY solutions that they offer. Whether you are looking for a way to hide your wireless router or a way to "paint" on your tablet, they have the solution for you...all it takes is a little elbow grease and a bit of know-how.

050212_Powerplugs1.jpgIn our home we not only travel a lot, but we also bring stuff back to the states and by stuff, we mean art and tech. While we have no trouble getting the art situated in our home, the tech is another story because of a wee issue with a little thing called electricity.

bedside clock.jpgWhen we travel we use our iPad as the bedside clock. It's large, and thanks to the Internet it always has the correct time. Of course there are an astounding array of apps out there to transform your tablet into a bedside clock, so we've curated the best of them in this week's handy dandy tablet app feature.
