OnePAD version 1.3 has been approved for sale and brings bug fixes, better browsing and a brand new icon.

I finally got around to putting together a quick screencast for OnePAD, my iOS daily notebook app.

When the iPad keyboard is "un-docked" or "split" your app won't get the same UI events. If your app needs to accurately track the visibility of the keyboard on iPad you need to do a little more work.

Like many of you, I’d imagine, I’ve accumulated a trail of neglected blogs, web sites, unused domain names and forgotten accounts.
