Quotebook – A Notebook for Your Quotes:
Ever been out with friends and one of them says something completely brilliant and you wish you could quickly jot it down for later use? Now you can! Quotebook is designed to hold only the quotes that matter to you, instead of overloading you with stuff you could care less about. Entering a quote is quick and easy, and even attributing authors and sources are toned down for fast entry. Never forget a great quote again!

Asteroid Dust:
Asteroid Dust is a fast-paced arcade shooter set in outer space. You will fly around beautiful space scenes while blasting asteroids into space dust. This will take a lot of skill though, as any collision with debris is spot-on pixel perfect. Tack on multiple control schemes and you have a revamped arcade classic!

Birzzle:
On the surface, Birzzle may look like just another match three-style game, but it becomes so much more when you dive into it. You may move any bird that is not currently blocked. When three birds of the same kind match up, you may blow them up. However, when you match four of the same bird up, an even more powerful bird is created. Top this off with a need to react quickly, and you have a simple addiction that will challenge even the most hardened match three player.

Mr. Reader:
If you have come to depend on Google Reader for your bounty of RSS feeds, then get ready to ditch the web and enjoy reading on your iPad. Mr. Reader starts with great features like Google Reader synchronization, support for starred and shared items, and searching for new RSS feeds. It then expands on this with Twitter and Facebook integration, sending items to Instapaper, and theme support. If you’re looking to take RSS reading to new enjoyable places, give this app some serious consideration.

Big City Adventure: New York City:
The Big Apple is full of thousands of hidden items and games just waiting for you to discover them. As you explore the big city, you will earn beautiful postcards, fun mementos, learn new facts about New York City, and even duke it out with a bit of multi-player action on several mini-games. Variety is the spice of life, and this game is packed with plenty of it!
