Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade: It provides a complete list of participants in the parade, along with their marching order, a history of the event and traffic camera video that shows more views than just those available on TV. If you happen to be in the crowd, it offers info like a detailed map, nearby dining spots and, perhaps most importantly, the location of public restrooms.
The Proffesional Chef:From the Culinary Institute of America, Professional Chef is designed to maximize what the tablet computer can do. There are tons of recipes and there are also instructional videos with Culinary Institute chefs, discussion boards, nearly 750 photos and the ability to highlight and make notes on your favorites.
Thanksgiving Coloring Book: Kids will be able to do virtual finger-painting that won't leave a mess all over the dinner table. There are 60 colors to choose from to paint turkeys, pumpkins, pilgrims and the like. You can shake your device Etch-A-Sketch style to start over and, when you're done, save your child's master work to a gallery or share it via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr.
Turkey Plucker: Promising "realistic feather-falling action," this free, touch-based game makes "Angry Birds" look like "Civilization V" in terms of complexity.
T.G.I. Black Friday: T.G.I. Black Friday helps you find more than 10,000 advertised Black-Friday deals from major retailers like Best Buy, Target and Sears -- in some cases before those ads appear elsewhere.The app lets you create a personal shopping list, receive notifications when new deals you may like appear and even share deals with friends on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
It's also set up to let you find online deals -- a plus for those of us reluctant to leave the house.
* I think these apps will be fun for those people that they are available to. Its a nice new twist on a holiday for people with smartphones!
