If watching all those TED videos on your iPhone is not enough — a screen too small — fear not, cause TED Talks just got its iPad app. As you can imagine, now you will be able to bring all those cool clips to your sofa or bed and enjoy them on a larger screen. However, we don’t advise the latter (bringing them to bed), as no one wants to be responsible for killing anyone’s relationship, IntoMobile included. ;)

If you’re single or promise to use TED Talks in a “right way,” you may want to know there are more than 700 videos at your disposal with more added each week. Among the folks you’ll be listening (and watching) are education radicals, tech geniuses, medical mavericks, business gurus and music legends.

Each clip is available both in low and high resolution, with former being played when your connection sucks – over 3G or even worse – EDGE. When in a hotspot, you’ll most likely enjoy the hi-res video playback.

Finally, in terms of video exploring capabilities, you can search by recency, popularity, tag, theme, plus once you’re done with some video, there are related clips suggested to you by the app.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
