Any interesting new tech appearing on the horizon that looks promising for technomagic?

I'm really enjoying my iPad, and I do have a few magical programs loaded on it (Runes, Tarot, some other stuff) but so far I haven't really done a lot with it in a magical context besides store a gigantic occult library on it in pdf format.  It does still feel like it has great potential for such use, though.

What else is out there on the cutting edge of magical tech?

I don't have Beautiful Tarot, but I do have the FairyTale Tarot (which is awesome) and Tarot HD (which has a nicer interface).  The Rune App (just in case anyone else non-Cel wants it) is The Runes: A Human Journey.  I think it's one of the best rune apps available.

"Some other stuff" is mostly non-magical apps that I've adapted for magical purposes (or can, should the need arise).  I've got iEphemera Lite to help me track the phases of the moon.  Drawing apps that let me draw on top of a picture for workings directed towards a particular target using sigil-magic or reiki symbols (there are lots of these, I have several).  Scrolling-marquee type apps for mantra repetition.  (My favorite is one called BBoard).  Bookman to hold all of my magical PDFs in a nice little library format.  iRelax (ambient sounds) for meditation.  iTunes or Pandora for musically or vocally-based version of the same.  Possibly some others could be adapted to magical purposes too.  The Google Maps app would probably be decent for dowsing.

I just keep all that in my head, heh. Cel has this awesome astronomy app (I forget the name, and he's not online right now) that uses the iPad's location info to show you the sky as it is over your head right now, and is sensitive to what direction you're facing. It's like an electronic planisphere.

Heh, I've tried keeping it all in my head and I never seem to be able to.  Too many holes, I guess.

I've seen the planisphere apps, and I have to be honest, I don't fully understand their purpose… are they just maps so that you can find particular constellations while stargazing, or what?

That's a neat idea.

*grins* Thanks. :)
