GetGlue for iPad hits version 30 adds personalized guides, show recommendations and alerts

GetGlue’s been giving social TV watchers a hub they can count on within Cupertino’s tablet for a good while now. Today, however, the application’s reached version three-dot-oh, which means there’s a slew of new goodies in tow. Among some of the fresh features is an all-new guide for television shows, movies and sports that’s solely based on personal preferences, while recommendations, clips and related articles have also been added in this new version. That’s not it, though, GetGlue now lets folks set alerts for upcoming events, as well as earn “stickers” for watching their favorite content — think badges on FourSquare. Best of all, the iPad app’s still free of charge, so anyone interested in v3.0 can give the App Store link below a quick tap to get on with the gratis download.

Airbus Electronic Flight Bag apps for iPad savvy pilots save time and paper

For a while now, iPads have been used to replace paper in a pilot’s daily duties. Airbus is also looking to further the cause with its Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) applications for the Apple slate. Pretty soon, airlines will have an alternative to existing EFB tech that runs PC operating systems with the “FlySmart with Airbus” app suite. The apps will allow crews to calculate performance and consult manuals without the need to cart around several hundred printed pages. Of course, to gain access to said software in the App Store, you’ll need to be a customer in order to obtain the requisite download permissions.
