Looking for a Reading Comprehension app for third graders ?

I have been searching the iPad App Store for good reading comprehension apps. But none that seem to be what I am looking for. I am looking for ones that have reading stories and then test questions related to the stories. Anyone knows of any ?

Hi,
As part of our "Special App for That" series, we wrote an article on apps that support literacy instruction that might be of interest to you or others looking or apps for children with special needs. We do recommend some apps that are universal for children of many different abilities.

It is part of a series that we have been writing on using the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch to help support children/students with special needs. You can see the entire series here:

Looking for Third Party VPN W/O Significant Network Speed Hit

As the title indicates, I am looking for a VPN app (Windows) which will not significantly ding my network speed. I have FiOS (75/35). I understand there is normally a speed drop while connected to a VPN but dropping from 75Mbps to 1.5Mbps is unacceptable. I have only tested Spotflux so any other suggestions would be appreciated.
To clarify, any app would have to be compatible with PeerBlock. I do not care about advertising as Ad Block Plus takes care of that. As for speed, on average, I would expect no less than 20-30Mbps. Also, I want the ability to choose my own servers (whether foreign or domestic).

Check out https://www.ipvanish.com
I'm on a mac, but the windows app works well too. While connected to one of the Miami servers, which are in the same state as me, I can often get nearly my full 75 Mbps down when using openvpn (udp). IPVanish has servers around the world, some have better speeds than others. Your speed will depend on a few factors, distance from server being used, server load, etc. For best results I'd suggest using one of the "A" servers, example mia-a01, lon-a02, nrt-a01, etc.

Looking for Third Party SAP Data Migration Tools

Hi all,
I don't know if this is the right place but I was wondering if anyone can provide me a list or a link of the different third party SAP Data Migration Tools. I am specifically looking for productions that migrate data from one SAP system to another.
Thanks and I hope to hear from you.

Hi,
Just to weight out my options and compare the diffrent products as a research of sort.
For SAP tools they use LSMW I believe but I want to check the alternatives.

Looking for third party driver for Bentley Nevada 208P data acquisition unit.

We have a Bentley Nevada 208P data acquisition unit used with their Adre system (software/hardware). We would find it benifitial to utilize it on another application other than monitoring proximitors, and do some calculations on the voltage signals received outside Bentley's Adre system software. We are using LabView on other applications. Has anyone tried this?

From what I can find about this instrument it looks as though it communicates via Parallel port. I don't think NI has anything which is specific to this instrument, but if Bentley Nevada publishes the command set/communication specs you could probably use VISA to communicate with it (unfortunately they won't allow access to their manuals online without a password so I can't find out anything more specific).
Best of luck,

What to look for when buying a used MacBook Pro? Tips

If third-party applications or other software are included, they add nothing at all to the value of the machine unless you are given the original installer discs for them. Otherwise, they are just pirated software that you can't reinstall if you ever need to.

I am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

PogoPossum,
My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
Does this help?

Making an Arch Linux wiki-reader Android app - Looking for some advice

Hey guys, hopefully this is an ok place to post this. I've just finished a beginning Java course and I'm starting on the next one. I'm learning Java with the intention of creating Android applications as a hobby. Since I've found myself accessing the wiki from my phone on many occasions, and this doesn't seem overly difficult, I think this is a good place to start.
I've been playing with this idea for a couple of weeks and I'm trying to determine the best way to approach this. I'm looking for any pointers/advice from a development standpoint and any (potential) user feedback as well.
So far, with the help of other Archers, I have come up with the following three options:
1) Obvious choice- Connect to the actual wiki online
Pros:
+Always up to date
+Small application size
Cons:
-More difficult to strip current style and "mobilize" layout (there is a lot of clutter and links to outside of the wiki)
-More permissions that other choices
-Requires internet connection
2) Use the arch-wiki-docs package
Pros:
+Offline
+Easier to add css styles
+Hopefully would require zero permissions
Cons:
-Application would be large ~40MB (Maybe it could be reduced by removing non-english languages?)
-Not up to date, but pretty close
3) Use the arch-wiki-lite package
Pros:
+Offline
+Small application size
+Hopefully would require zero permission
+More of a native android application feel instead of a dedicated webpage reader
Cons:
-No links to other pages
-Would need to create style/layout from scratch
-Not really sure how this would work (Searching, etc)
-Not up to date, but pretty close
Right now I'm leaning towards the second option, but only if I can figure out an automated way to strip down the html pages and remove the non-english pages. I'm thinking that I'll start with an English only version, then add international support (or a second version) later on if people want it. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the response!

The arch-wiki-docs package is in HTML and I'm using WebView to read it locally. The arch-wiki-lite package is a text file. Maybe I could import it into a database? Either way, using that package will require me to create the whole layout.
rickeyski wrote: 2 you could use a wrapper like phonegap, but that would me writing everything in html, css, javascript and you will use virtually none of your java.
I've used Titanium Studio before, which I think is pretty similar to Phonegap, but I do want to make this one with Java.
rickeyski wrote: 3. 40 mb is a huge app, granted its before compression, but its also before all of your code and layouts to make it work.. You would be limiting yourself to only the newest androids, don't know which phone you have in mind, but might not be a problem for you.
40MB is the compressed size. The html docs are over 100MB uncompressed. I think I could significantly reduce the size by removing the non-english pages, but I can't figure out a systematic way to find them. There are 3551 pages and they use names like 00000965.html, 00000967.html, 00000968.html, 00000974.html, etc. (Of those 967 isn't english, but the other three are.)
rickeyski wrote: 4. the biggest plus is the android docs and examples apps are very good, start reading.
Yup. I've been reading through those a lot. They are a big help.

I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book. I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together.
- I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.
Have a look here ...

Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

LOOKING FOR AN APP THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO READ A PDF DOCUMENT OFF LINE

My itouch has 8 Gb of RAM and I am looking for an app that will allow me to store a PDF document in memory and read it off line as there are times when I do not have access to WiFi. I can email myself the document but I am off line, I don't think that the inbox is an off line folder from which an attachment can be viewed off line, right? Therefore the reason I am looking for the ability to save and read off line.
Thanks!!

@x62
I don't think that the inbox is an off line folder from which an attachment can be viewed off line, right?
No, incorrect. The inbox is an *off line* folder, just as it is on a computer. Once you download the email from the server, it is in your iPod/computer and you can access it when you like.

Looking for an app that I can save what I highlight when I am reading an article without having to copy and paste

I looked at Bento and at first glance I think it would do everything I want it to do, then I saw a review or something from a customer that indicated the information in Bento could not be exported (say to send out a mailing). I may want a program that can do that as well, is there one out there? If not it does look like Bento will work. When you save a picture to a customer in Bento can you open it up full size?

Looking for an app for a credit card reader

Looking for an app to use a credit card reader such as the square register for the Z10. Or any ohter credit card reader.
I've been a faithful Blackberry user for over 6 years, I hope that I don't regret buying this new phone last June. Verizon tried to talk me out of buying a Blackberry. So far I have been dis-appointed in this phone.

Hey guys get ducks in order, I'm a small business owner, I need smooth native apps or built in's that help make money for me, your voice recognition is terrible at best for my Z10, especially when my job relies heavily on making hands free calls to clients, my old 9900 worked well when you had to say numerous commands to adapt to your voice or am I not seeing that this phone does this as well, if so why do I have find it!? As well, I like others are faithful early adapters to BlackBerry, but now, getting impatient as a other devices and OS's are becoming more appealing.
The new Square Card reader is a very good example that you should be working with them aggressively, this simplifying product is excellent for small businesses who provide mobile services, it will explode into adaptation for this sector, do not suggest an android app for use, otherwise I'll make it simpler and just get the android device instead, this solution benefits blackberry how? And if I am the rare one with this sentiment I apologize, but if I representative of a population that matters take it seriously...what do you do with this information? Remember when you start to get a bitter taste, you tend to never again, does blackberry care, show me, do not tell me!
PS/ if you get where the future is going most business are going to move to 2 devices for employees and owner operators that have partial integration, and the only thing that keeps you BlackBerry afloat is the "sense" of security is use, the second device will be for social and leisure...think about it.

Looking for ebook reader app with good annotation features

I'm looking for an ebook reader app to use on my iPhone and iPad that will allow me to do this:
1. In a book, Highlight a selection of text, and make that a note or annotation
2. Be able to see all my annotations/notes for a book in one place
3. And here's the one I can't seem to find: Be able to generate a file with JUST my annotations in it so that I can save it off or email it or dropbox it or something like that.
Does anyone know of such an app?

I HAVE THE PERFECT APP!!!
I had been looking for an app that did the same things you requested. And somebody finally created it.
Its called Readmill
www.readmill.com
You can export all of your notes/highlights as an email.
It also syncs your ebook library with Dropbox
Here is the interview that Robert Scoble did with the makers of the app.
