Released on April 3rd, the iPad was supposed to revolutionize comic books. While it wasn’t created for such an endeavor, it was — wait, what was the iPad created for? Regardless, PSPs, iPhones, and whatever else had tried, but to no avail. No one wants to squint while reading their comics. They want size.

Congratulations to Tiffany Bradley of Knoxville, TN. Tiffany did the unthinkable and actually had two apps entered into the fray and both of them survived till the semifinal round.

College Life and their parent company Classes and Careers.com are excited with the turnout and response to this contest and are very pleased with the results.
