Reeder is by far the best Google Reader app for the iPad.
Faster than NetNewsWire, with a more usable eye-candy than Pulse, this is the current reader app to beat.
Free (Ad-Supported) Byline Google Reader →
Byline, my favorite way to access Google Read, now has a free version with Fusion Ads.
I hope the iPad version is on it’s way, NetNewsWire for iPad is just not cutting it.
Notational Velocity now syncs with Simplenote →
Notational Velocity, the fastest and most minimalistic notes app for the Mac, now has native syncing support with Simplenote, the best notes app for the iPhone.
It works through the the cloud. So no WiFi syncing nonsense.
Notational Velocity is free/OSS and Simplenote is free with ads (with a Premium version available).
