Yes, I know the iPad doesn’t have a camera. So, why would you need a photo editing app? Well, if you like to carry all or a portion of your photo library on the iPad, like I do, you now have the ability to easily work with your photos using PhotoPal from MacPhun.

Photogene for iPhone has been around for a while now and provides some great photo editing tools to the iPhone. Recently the developer, Mobile Pond, released a version specifically designed for the iPad.

Photogene for iPad was designed to take advantage of the large screen and the more powerful processor of the iPad, making it a perfect photo editing tool.

Twittelator Pro v3.1 from Stone Design is probably one of most full-featured Twitter clients now available. If you used or looked at an older version in the past, Twittelator Pro v3.1 deserves another long hard look.

After many months of waiting TweetDeck is finally available on the iPhone. It is available for free and is available in the App Store.

Like its big brother on the desktop, TweetDeck for iPhone also makes use of customizable columns for tweets, replies, direct messages and searches. To move between columns, just swipe between them and tap to make any column active.

Clicking on a specific tweet brings up the details pane, which allows you to reply, retweet, send DMs, email tweets and even mark as a favorite. An additional benefit of TweetDeck is the ability to use multiple Twitter accounts, with each one in its own dedicated column.

TweetDeck also allows the setup and creation of groups, where you can group related friends together and even setup custom searches. The application also allows you to tweet photos using Twitpic or YFrog and even provides URL shortening.

If you are already a user of their desktop application, the iPhone application will sync with the desktop version allowing you to stay up-to-date both with the desktop version and on the road using the iPhone app.
