OneNote Mobile
Price: Free
Platform: Android
Microsoft has finally brought OneNote to Android with OneNote Mobile for all of your notes. You can create notes with pictures, text, bullets and checklists. You can't handwrite, which is a bit irritating, but you can sync your notes with SkyDrive so that you can access and edit them from any device with a web browser. With the free version, you can create and edit up to 500 notes; after this, you'll have to pay for the premium version if you want more.

Chrome Beta
Price: Free

The Chrome for Android beta provides great features like tabbed browsing and bookmark syncing. You can load pages and scroll faster, as well as browse privately in Incognito mode. Another handy feature is being able to sync bookmarks and view tabs that are open on your computer. Unfortunately, you'll only be able to make use of this app if you're on the latest version of Android — Ice Cream Sandwich.

Futaba Classroom Games

If you're a teacher wondering how to use iPads in your classroom, Futaba has some ideas. It gives you games that help with vocabulary, mathematics, languages and geography, and you can also design your own games. The app is aimed at kids from ages four to eight. Each player takes a seat around the iPad and taps the device to start. As images appear, the first player to match the correct answer to an image scores a point.

SydneyAirport
Price: Free
Platform: iOS (iPhone)
You can get flight schedules and real-time arrival and departure updates with this new app. You can also see what counter you need to check in at before you reach the airport, or subscribe to a flight so that you get an update when the flight lands, in order to make it easier to pick someone up. The app is fed by the airport's own flight-information display system, so it looks the same as if you were looking at a departure or arrivals board at the airport.
