First week with iPad - results
Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 08:48PM
First full week with the iPad and I absolutely love it. Probably not the first one to say so, but I am a convert. I thought I would do an update from the Via train from Montreal to Toronto with my favorite things.
I have the 3G version and have used the maps application to find out where I am. The maps and location are real time and I can watch where I am from the maps as the train moves. very cool. I can hardly wit to try a turn by turn application at some point.
I use the Microsoft toolset in my day to day work life and have found that Docs To Go works best. I use Evernote as my note application which will synch with my desktop machine running Windows 7. I also have picked up iAnnotate which I have used to highlight and make notes in word documents that I have converted to PDFs. I do miss not having a full version of Word as I really use the review features.
Apps are the big reason that the iPad is so useful. Free ones are even better. I found an application called AppShopper which will display applications that become free or enter the app store at no cost. I have found a good number of interesting and fun applications using this app and highly commend it.
That is it so far, more to come.
If you have found any great apps or are also trying to use your iPad in business, please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
