The Week in iOS Apps: Albert Einstein's brain

28.09.2012
This weeks roundup of iOS apps is all about the multimedia entertainment: Weve got video, weve got music, weve got games, and weve got the brain of Albert Einstein.

Really.

Already this week we brought you reviews of Geo Walk HD and Monster Lifeand news of the newest game from Angry Birdss creators, Bad Piggies.

Here are other new and updated apps that caught our eye this week:

DJ Rig for iPad: The iPad went into the music-making business almost from the second it was introduced. The $20 DJ Rig for iPad offers a deluxe approach to that experience, offering users a professional DJ experience that starts with direct access to their iTunes library and playlists, then adding crossfade filters, tempo syncing tools, a sampler machine, a scratching engine to recreate the sound of vinyl, looping options, and more. Spend an extra $10, and you can buy a Pro Bundle that adds even more features. With this app, you might be able to become the next Girl Talkor at least have a lot of fun at your next house party.

Jasmine: The advent of iOS 6 means your iPad and iPhone no longer include the native YouTube app. Stepping into the breach is Jasmine, a free YouTube client for both devices. The AirPlay-enabled app lets users manage video playlistsand even plays the audio in the background while you use other apps. The app also remembers your stopping point in longer videos so you can return to it later. Videos can be shared to Twitter or Facebook, or access to them can be restricted by using parental controls.
