What's new on the app stores on Wednesday 27 July 2011
A burst of 13 apps for your consideration
Padder for iPad
Dennis Publishing reckons Padder is 'the only iPad app for the iPad about the iPad', which sounds slightly off-beam. It's certainly one of the first iPad magazine apps about the iPad that isn't based on an existing print title. App reviews, news and features are all included, along with Twitter integration. The first issue is free, with future editions to cost £1.49 in-app.

Tadaa – HD Filters
Not all whizzy mobile photo-sharing startups are based in Silicon Valley. German app Tadaa has been building buzz in its homeland, and is expanding overseas too. Version 3.0 of the app is just out for iPhone, with camera filters (that sounds familiar...) as well as easier editing.
iPhone
Ultimate Air Guitar
Ultimate Air Guitar is an iPhone app for exhibitionists, getting them to play air guitar while clutching their device, with the app playing suitably rawk riffs based on their motion. Its developer Candid Innovations boasts that the riffs were played by its CEO, which is certainly an angle.

Android
AtariTinyRiot
