From iPad to... iPADD!

Post by Captain Picard's Hair »

CBS interactive has launched an official Star Trek iPad app. :mrgreen: (it seems to be iPad-exclusive due to screen size constraints)

The information isn't as detailed as Memory Alpha or probably even... DITL...(basically copied from StarTrek.com according to the reviewer) but the kicker is that it's all presented in an LCARS interface - complete with Majel Barrett voiceovers.

Since it's priced at $4.99 for a rather gimmicky app, it won't be worth the cost to most though.

I got a Tricorder App for my Android. And a widget that says "Khaaaaaaaaan!" when I press it.
"You ain't gonna get off down the trail a mile or two, and go missing your wife or something, like our last cook done, are you?"

Seems cool, but ultimately a little thin, compared to DITL or MA.
