Ulysses for iPad now Available

My favorite writing app for Mac[^note], *Ulysses*, now has an [iPad version](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id950335311?mt=8&at=10l5TL)[^f3651]. I’ve been on the beta for this app for the past couple of months and have written everything from blog posts, to contracts, to full legal briefs in it. It’s everything you love about *Ulysses* but in a much more portable format. Highly recommended.[^f3816]

Federico Viticci’s New Book on Writing with Editorial on the iPad

Federico has a new iBook on [writing with Editorial on the iPad](https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/writing-on-ipad-text-automation/id697865620?mt=11)[^f4101]. As someone who has completely moved my iPad writing workflow over to [Editorial](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/editorial/id673907758?mt=8&at=10l5TL), I was pleased to find some new tricks that help make the app even *more* powerful.

For $2.99, this book is a no-brainer for anyone who uses [Editorial](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/editorial/id673907758?mt=8&at=10l5TL)[^fn1], as well as anyone who wants to help support Federico and the great work that he does.

[^fn1]: Seriously, it is worth the $2.99 for the Feed Wrangler workflow alone.

The Verge Reviews iPad Keyboard Options

My fiancé has been looking into getting a keyboard for her iPad. I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard with an [Origami Case](http://store.apple.com/us/product/H6353ZM/A), but that can be a little bulky. Based on the options presented here, it looks she’ll end up choosing either the [Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover](http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/9/3229047/best-ipad-keyboard#section_5) or a [ZAGGfolio](http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/9/3229047/best-ipad-keyboard#section_5).

iOS Default Apps

Last week, [John Gruber](http://daringfireball.net), had a [series][1] of [posts][3] on Apple not allowing iOS users to set the default browser or mail application on their devices. I agree with what Mr. Gruber says and I, personally, wish that I could set [Sparrow](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=r*bqlTuiXSo&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fsparrow%252Fid492573565%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30)[^affiliate] as my default mail application. Until then, my “workaround” is to run the default mail application to notify me of new emails and then open Sparrow to do that actual email processing.
