Last week I bought an iPhone. I needed to get a new phone but was planning on getting a basic Nokia and an iPad. I spend a lot of time on the bus and thought it would be good to use the iPad as a book reader and to check e-mail. Then I saw the cost of the 3G plans and had a rethink. Anyway, I am happy with my iPhone, I have had a play and added apps etc. So, I can read books, check e-mail, listen to music and play games on the way to and from work, I don't need another internet plan and can get rid of my iPod. Cool. Can anyone recommend good apps?
Have a look at this historical timeline feature from the British Library
From the site: It includes a diverse combination of texts: those that allow glimpses of everyday life (handbills, posters, letters, diaries), remnants of political events (charters, speeches, campaign leaflets), and the writings of some of our best known historical and literary figures.
