Hands on: Panic's Status Board makes eye-catching work of tracking data

Panic on Wednesday unveiled Status Board, a new iPad app for displaying and tracking data. The $10 app?s inspiration was Panic?s own status board, which the company blogged about?and received countless accolades for?back in 2010.

When you first launch Status Board, you?re greeted to a delightful setup assistant?styled after a consumer electronics manual?complete with its own musical soundtrack.

Once you?ve gone through the setup process, you?ll get a default status board, one that mixes elements like a clock, forecast, calendar, and newsfeed. But it?s entirely customizable: Tap the gear icon at the upper left, and you can add and configure a variety of modules?including ones that pull from email (which require your IMAP account?s login credentials), Twitter, and more.

Customizing a Status Board screen

Status Board lets you drag and drop different modules onto the screen, and most can be resized as well. I assembled a board with the local weather, a clock, a calendar, a calendar ticker with birthday reminders, a Mac news feed, and my inbox. Some elements have multiple ways of displaying information: a list versus a ticker versus a graph, for example.
