If the beard says so, then you can take it to the bank.
Sources say the company has chosen the first week in March to debut the successor to the iPad 2, and will do so at one of its trademark special events. The event will be held in San Francisco, presumably at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Apple’s preferred location for big announcements like these.
The iPhone/iPod touch version of Ticket to Ride is available for free today1.
The iPad version is a separate app available for $6.99.

Right after releasing v2 of the Tweetbot for iPhone, Tapbots released the much anticipated Tweetbot for iPad.
Tweetbot for iPad comes with the same great features as the iPhone version including support for switching your timeline to just viewing a list you created on Twitter, swiping left or right for context of a tweet and smart gestures to tap, double-tap, tap and hold or triple tap on a tweet for further interactions.
Tweetbot for iPad ($2.99) is available in the App Store
A new version of the best Twitter client for iPhone has been released.
This version comes with many significant improvements to the Timeline and Direct Messages. Here are the major changes in more detail:
Tweetbot ($2.99) in the iTunes App Store.
Apple keeps saying the Apple TV is just a hobby but it seems to me to be more of a way for Apple to be able to find out how people are using their TV.
Case in point — this Thursday you’ll be able to watch a Paul McCartney concert live on your Apple TV, as well as through iTunes. With the Apple TV in place, Apple can quickly figure out how many people will go to their TV for an event like this or just watch it on their computer.
It also gives Apple an easy way to test out their content deliver system on a smaller scale than what they’d have to be able to push out if they actually did release a full blown TV of some sort.
I have no doubt that Apple is going to make a bigger play for the media room of homes in the near future — but the Apple TV is a great way to test the waters and get valuable insight into how people are actually using their TVs in 2012.
Omnifocus, (Mac App Store — $79.99), is the ultimate Mac nerd getting things done app.
I have yet to take the plunge, but I know that if and when I do I’ll be relying on screencasts like these from David Sparks to figure out how to really make the most of Omnifocus.
When combined with OmniFocus for iPhone ($19.99) and/or OmniFocus for iPad ($39.99), you’ll be getting so many things done you won’t know what to do with yourself.
Cocktail Flow (iTunes App Store link (free)) is a drink recipe app1 that allows you to browse, find and discover cocktails.
It’s a beautifully designed app with plenty of nifty little animations and visual treats to go along with the recipes.
The up sell for them is by selling add-on theme packs of recipes. For example, they’ve got a Super Bowl theme pack with drinks named “The Bloody Halfback”, “Safety Kick”, and “Brady Bomb” — but there’s plenty of free recipes included.
A nice feature is the ability to specify what drinks you have in your cabinet (i.e. Irish Whiskey, Scotch, White Rum, Amaretto and Irish Cream2) and then it can tell you what drinks you can make from that mix (Amaretto Sour, Blow Job3 or a Godfather if you’re curious.)
Or choose the drinks you want to be able to make and it will spit out a shopping list, along with suggested costs.
One minor gripe is that there’s no ability to select Canadian currency as an option — though I suspect the USD is close enough for estimating your bill.
All in all, a very good app particularly when you consider it’s free.
Also available for Android for free and Windows Phone 7 for $2.99 ↩

Great video, as always, from Coudal Partners to promote their new Red Blooded series of FIELD NOTES notebooks.
