: Looking for a taste of the old ultraviolence? Rockstar Games has finally launched the $3 game for iPhone and iPad. If you haven't played this game in its original version, here's what you need to know: It's as if Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson had met while they were doing their most famous roles in the 1970s, and had a very violent, angry baby. You get to shoot--a lot!--while you clear your name and avenge your family. And thanks to its availability on the iPhone, you can now do this in church. But you'll probably want to do that secretly.

: has long let iPhone users take pictures of receipts and other documents, convert those pictures into PDFs, and then either share them or save them using Dropbox, Evernote, or Google Docs. The latest version of Scanner Pro does all that--and now it does it on the iPad too. While it is compatible with the iPad 2, the developers at Readdle are urging users to use it conjunction with the new iPad's better-quality camera. The developers didn't just include iPad-compatibility with this version; they also overhauled the user interface to make it easier to organize and edit the scanned documents.

: We confess to being news junkies--and in this iPhone era, to being news-aggregator junkies. The free app for iPhone is the newest entrant in the arena. You must sign in with your Facebook account--and then choose ten topics from a list to follow. (If you don't like the initial list of topics, that's OK: You can edit it later, and search for topics that might not've popped up in the first go-round.) After that, you'll have a scrollable list of the latest headlines about those favorite topics. Most news aggregators these days are built first for the iPad--think Zite or Flipboard--but so far Wavii is made just for the iPhone.
