“We know Oprah’s a fan of the iPad — she gave all her magazine staffers one earlier this year — and she’s spent a fair amount of time finding her favorites among the vast iTunes app store,” Abbey Klaassen reports for Advertising Age.
Oprah’s favorite iPad apps include:
• CNN for iPhone ($1.99) (pixel-doubled, we presume)
• ABC News for iPad (free)
• Brushes – iPad Edition ($7.99)
• SketchBook Pro ($7.99)
• SCRABBLE for iPad ($9.99) (which she says she plays while on the treadmill???)
Klassen reports, “She also said she reads magazines and newspapers on it. Except, perhaps, her own? The O App hasn’t launched yet but, said O Editor Susan Casey, who interviewed her mag’s namesake, it’s coming Nov. 16.”

MacDailyNews Take: Sounds like Oprah’s Kindle is gathering dust.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Jigar T.” for the heads up.]
Who really cares what Oprah does. A few IPads to her staff or whatever? Wow I’m so impressed.
Favorite apps? A joke. More interesting Apple news today than hers.
Is there a KPFA / KPFK app? There is your non-corporate news. I hope she watches Amy Goodman on DemocracyNow!
(look forward to the comments on what constitutes REAL news)
lol

As my aunt remarked to me last week: “Hey, that Kindle thing is pretty cool. My friend Stella reads her daily scripture on it and just LOVES it!” (Wait for it.) “So, what else does it do?
“Uh, well, Auntie, (says I) it doesn’t do ANYTHING else, I’m afraid to say. No internet browsing, no email sending or receiving, no productivity apps, no games, no movies, no music, no individual customization, NO NOTHING!”
Her rather astonished response: “Then what good is it? I’ve already got a library full of books I haven’t read . . . and I can read them outside too! Looks like a waste of money to me.”
Well said, Auntie. Well said.

She needs something a little more beefy. No iPad could possibly endure the stress trauma of being placed under one of those huge buttocks.

@Russ. How about a Windows Tablet? Should be pretty heavy duty and “beefy”!

Actually I’m the one who usually pulls the gun on other technology than Apple’s being the huge Apple fan I yam but in this case I think Amazon’s Kindle deserves a break today.
Is your crap classification for the Kindle from first hand experience or just lifelong unbridled bias?

Typical lib. Always looking at herself.
Take a look at Beck Oprah, you might expand your horizons.

What does she do on a treadmill, sleep on it?

@Ron – Beck the singer/songwriter, or Beck the blathering conspiracy theorist. Both expand horizons (in about equally inconsequential ways) just wanted to clarify…

Who the fuck cares what Oprah thinks of the iPad and what her favorite apps are!

STFU with your ‘Typical lib’ bullshit. Why do morons always have to post politics here. For crying out loud, its just a simple article.
Are you this miserable in real life?

@Ron- There’s nothing wrong with looking solely at ones self. After all, me and mine is ALL that matters. Everything else is just meaningless mob mentality bullshit, catering to the pathetic human need for control.
Read Anthem or The Fountainhead sometime, and learn what the true meaning of selfishness is. It’ll change your life and turn you into a person rather than just another part of the herd; another cow…

Who cares about Oprah? Millions of viewers that’s all, very few of whom read any tech related sites on the internet.
