Google, Amazon and Starbucks have also been in the news lately for similar low tax payments in the UK and are set to appear before the Commons public accounts committee later today. They will be given an opportunity to explain why they don't pay the proper levels of tax. According to the report, Prime Minister David Cameron is not happy with the current situation which allows US companies to pay such low tax rates in the UK. Now that Apple is part of the same picture, we are sure that this is going to get a lot more coverage. Source: The Guardian

Posted: 04 Nov 2012 08:19 PM PST Mobile Nations Network Movember Funds Raised so far: $3858Ok folks, it's time for our first Mobile Nations Movember update. We'll be bringing you these updates every Sunday throughout the month of Movember (formerly known as November) as we grow out our moustaches and raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research and men's health issues. We had 82 individuals from around the world respond to our Movember call to action from across our sites, which is amazing! November 1st saw the Mo Bros on the team shave clean to lay the foundation upon which to grow a manly moustache. The next step is to let that moustache grow and to raise money, and we're off to a great start. Members of the Mobile Nations Network have already raised nearly $4,000! Participants are updating their Mo Space pages with status updates and photos. We've collected some of our favorites which you can check out below, along with links to where you can donate to individuals on the team.

| Posted: 04 Nov 2012 01:36 PM PST When Steve Jobs introduced the very first iPad, one of his big statements was that the 75 million iPhone users in the world already knew how to use it. Well, many of those users were suprised to discover that five of the built-in apps that they had grown to love on their iPhone were missing on their iPad. Namely, Clock, Voice Memos, Weather, Calculator and Stocks. Rumor has it Apple didn't think those apps would scale to look good on the bigger iPad screen. Since then, Apple has added a clock app with iOS 6, but the other four are still missing. Fortunately, many great developers have filled that void and proven that, not only can these apps look good on the iPad. They can look great. In fact, there are so many great apps in these categories that it can be overwhelming. That's where we come in. We took all the top voice memos, weather, calculator, and stock apps, scrutinized them, and tested them some more and named a single app in each category as the best of its kind. So without further adieu, here they are! Best voice recording app -- Audio MemosIf you're looking for a Voice Recorder for your iPad that offer great quality and professional features, look no further than Audio Memos. It in three different versions: a free one that does only the basics, a $0.99 version that does a little bit more with optional extensions available as in-app purchases, and a Pro version that includes all the extensions available in the $0.99 version. So whether you're looking for something basic, middle of the road, or full-featured, Audio Memos has got you covered. Free - Download Now$1.99 - Download Now$9.99 - Download NowBest calculator app - CalcbotCalcbot is a great scientific calculator for the iPhone and iPad. It features nice, large keys and a SwipePad that switches between the basic operations (including numbers) and scientific functions. It also keep track of all your calculations on a tape where you can copy and paste into a new calculation. Another nice feature is that it keeps a live history of what you type, so that you never get lost with where you are in your calculation. $1.99 - Download NowBest stock app - Bloomberg for iPadWhether you need to casually monitor stocks on your iPad or just find the urge to check out financial news, Bloomberg provides the best of both worlds combined with an easy to use interface. I've found that some of the applications in the App Store are quite hard to navigate and may be confusing for many users to figure out. Sometimes too many charts and graphs can be overwhelming. Bloomberg gives you what you want to know right up front. If you're more interested in world and financial news than you are stocks, Bloomberg doubles up as a great resource for such information. It ties news and the stock market together in a fluid way that users will appreciate. Free - Download NowBest weather app - Weather 2xWeather 2x is a gorgeous way to check the weather. It features a beautiful background that represents the current weather conditions. It also moves pans slightly so that there's a little bit of movement. The information is presented in a very clean, clutter-free way and intuitive gestures will reveal more information and and other sections of the app. Regarding the including information, Weather 2x will give you 5 day forecasts that are broken down into 3-hour intervals as well as show you sunrise/sunset times, visibility, windspeed, precipitation, and more. You can also store as many locations as you wish so that you can quickly see what the weather is like in other parts of the world. Living Earth may not be as fully-featured as some other weather apps, but it provides the information that most people want -- and does it beautifully. $1.99 - Download Now

| Weekend iPad Wallpapers: iPad mini Style Posted: 04 Nov 2012 10:10 AM PST  As you may have gathered from some of my recent posts, I am the proud and happy owner of a lovely new iPad mini. So this weekend's iPad wallpaper picks are three that look gorgeous on the new smaller iPad screen, as well as on its bigger sibling. All three come via our iPad Insight Flickr group again, where I'm now consistently finding some gorgeous iPad wallpapers shared. The first one, shown above on my iPad mini home screen, is called Distance Blur and was shared by Brett Jordan (no relation). I think it looks very striking on the iPad mini home screen. I'm showing these in the larger iPad frame via a great little app called Screenshot – Frame Maker, only because the app doesn't yet have a frame for the iPad mini. Take my word for it though, these iPad wallpapers look just as great on the iPad mini home screen.

| Price Drops: Disp Recorder iPad Screen Recording App On Sale at 50% Off Posted: 04 Nov 2012 09:06 AM PST  Disp Recorder, the useful screen recording app for iPad and iPhone, is currently on sale for 50% off. It's down from $9.99 to $4.99. I just did a post and a video demo of Disp Recorder (formerly known as Display Recorder) a few days ago – and I think it's impressive to see this app back on the iPad. Before this app came along, iPad screen recording required using AirPlay Mirroring to a desktop PC and a screen recording app on the desktop as well. Now it can all be done on the iPad. The current sale price is listed as being for a limited time, so now is a great time to grab this app if you've got any interest in screen recording on the iPad. Here's an App Store link for Disp Recorder. © patrickj for iPad Insight, 2012. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us  Related Stories

| iPad controlled street lighting to be rolled out across central London Posted: 04 Nov 2012 05:52 AM PST
This is the first system of its kind to be used in the UK and it will offer an excellent way to monitor street lighting levels and reliability. Through the use of an iPad application, engineers will be able to instantly see when a street lamp is not functioning correctly; it even has the intelligence to predict when a lamp is likely to fail too. The iPad app can also be used to raise and lower lighting output levels; although the engineer would have to be standing next to the lamp for this to work. This new system is sure to be of interest to other local councils in the UK; if the cost savings are to be believed. There are many parts of the country were local councils are already trialling different cost saving schemes for street lighting and most just involve turning them off. This is hardly a great solution and one that has a definite impact on safety. The iPad controlled scheme may offer the savings that the councils need to make without degrading the current levels of street lighting. Source: West London Today, Image Credit: Travel Wallpapers
