Downloaded over here too. Pretty cool! I like scrolling through the ship database.

Just need to say to all the iPad naysayers, let's see you have this much fun on a laptop!

Btw, if you let your Padd app run idle for a bit, (not sure how long) it activates a "screen saver" mode. How cool!

It's pretty cool. They just need to tie it in with Memory-Alpha's website and it would be really incredible as a Trek database. There's a fair amount of content right now. Maybe they will add updates to it when they see how well it sells to us geeks! :)

According to the app's first page, its pulling content from official sources including Memory Alpha.

That app is pretty cool. I now have a reason to get an iPad.

Well if you guys keep singing it's praises I'm going to have to give this app a try. From the description it doesn't really sound like something I would use very often though. I wish Apple would allow more customization of the UI.

Apple? Customize?? Joby - you are a funny guy. :)

I'm surprised they even let them go as far as customizing the app without using standard controls :)

The Padd app is now the #3 top paid app in the App Store. I'd say this is a runaway success!

Apple should really make a special iPad/Trek Padd version of the hardware/OS itself. I'd pay extra for a regular, permanent Trek style, LCARS interface like Joby wants.

I'm loving it.

The CBS ad for this ad looked to be full of Cheese. But then I found a video that shows what it is better.

Update available!

You can now turn off some of the sounds like the background ship hum. I'm glad about this, feels a little more realistic now.
