Dissecting a frog for Biology class? Yup, there’s an app for that.

Available for the Apple iPad for US$4.99, Frog Dissection features a chloroformed virtual specimen, with clear instructions guiding you through the process of slicing him up. Dissection tools include pins, marker, scissors, scalpel, and forceps but, since it’s on the iPad, they are all controlled by multi-touch. Once you’ve gutted your frog, you’ll be able to view the individual organs which have been rendered for you using 3D imagery. All this without having to touch a slimy dead from or deal with those nasty chemicals.

Frog Dissection has received awards from advocacy groups like PETA for creating an effective replacement for real animal dissections. An updated version is expected soon which will have additional systems and interactive quizzes.

I’m beginning to think there really is no corner of human experience that there is not an app for… and if there is, there will be an app for that too very soon.

What’s the weirdest iPhone or iPad app you’ve found? Leave a comment and tell me about it. If I write about it, I will be sure to give you credit for its discovery.

PIMp

How you keep your personal information is, well, personal. Take a look at these free solutions.

Equaling Entourage

Microsoft Entourage 2004 is a favorite PIM for Mac users, and is the only one that allows access to Exchange servers for OS X users. Or is it?

Ximian Evolution

Available to Panther users through Fink, this Linux PIM app repackaged for OS X provides a spitting-image replacement of Outlook. In fact, Evolution trumps Outlook with RSS feed integration. Via a plug-in, it can access an Exchange server.

KOrganizer

Another Fink package, this member of the Konquerer suite provides a more Entourage-like interface and also works on an Exchange server. This package is available to Jaguar users as well as Panther users.

mu PIMpCalendar

Getting back to native apps, this free app incorporates mail, calendaring and contact management. What I can’t figure out is the icon.

mu PIMpCheck Off

Panther users: keep your tasks in the menu bar for easy access. This drop-down list will keep you on top of your to-do’s.

Nice? Now get yourself organized…

Brian
