The wonderful videos of the speakers who present at TED conferences around the world can now be enjoyed on this free iPad app.

Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world.

TED presents talks from some of the world's most fascinating people: education radicals, tech geniuses, medical mavericks, business gurus and music legends. Find more than 700 TEDTalk videos (with more added each week) on the official TED app.


TEDTalks are delivered in high or low res formats based on your network connectivity. Curate your own playlist. Watch them later, even when you can't be online.

The TED iPad app features include:

+ "Inspire Me" button. Touching this icon reveals an elegant watch face and the question: "How much time do you have?" Dial up a time, choose the type of talk you want (Inspiring? Funny? Jaw-dropping?) and you'll get a playlist of talks that fits your schedule.

+ "Themes" serves up curated playlists of TEDTalks around topics such as "The Power of Cities," "How We Learn," "A Greener Future" and "Unconventional Explanations."

+ "Tags" breaks down TEDTalks topics into some 250 categories, from "insects" to "robots," from "happiness" to "fish."
"Saved Talks" allows you to download and queue up several hours of TEDTalks for viewing offline anytime.

+ "Playlist Browser" lets you browse ahead in any playlist while watching a saved talk. It's accessible by tapping the Info button.
