CIA Professional Chef iPad App Anyone?

[Chowstr]

Thinking of putting this on the wish list. I have a couple editions of the print version, and enjoy them very much, but I'm intrigued by the new possibilities with video, comments, etc... as well as the portability of always having it with me! But pricey for an app at $50. Anyone have a review?

I bought it and love it - lavishly illustrated, extremely well indexed and sometimes there is nothing like having a technique shown via video. I don't use it constantly but for mastering basic and advanced techniques, it's a fantastic reference.

I heard on The Splendid Table that this was going to be the (a) required version of the textbook at the CIA.
