Some Application Suggestions


While I try to finish a more elaborate case study, I wanted to share some iPad apps that I find to be extremely useful.


Write for iPad

Write for iPad is a handy note taking and composition program. Can use it pretty well writing CSS and HTML. On a Mac, there is desktop version of the app that updates with your iPad. Uses DropBox and iCloud syncing, among other amazing capabilities.

Instapaper

Instapaper is a great way to save and store web pages for reading later offline. It supports iPad and desktop OSs.

SyncSpace

SyncSpace is a great program for remote iPad collaboration. Two authors can work simultaneously via wifi. It depends on your connection speed, but I tried it with a friend who has a very slow connection and it worked pretty well. It's free for a limited version. Get a copy and give me a call if you want to try it out.





SlideRocket Player

From the web page:
"Show your stunning presentations on the iPad with the SlideRocket Player! Simply download a SlideRocket or Powerpoint presentation to show it anytime, anywhere, online or off. Share presentations across the table or across the globe. You can even invite someone to view your presentation from a simple link. Plus, built in analytics let you know when and where someone's viewed your presentation. All your presentations go with you wherever you go."

Design presentations in PowerPoint or online at sliderocket.com, which has handy composing, formatting and sharing options. Display them anywhere from your iPad.


Inspire Pro

If you have an artist in creating any kind of imagery on your iPad, Inspire Pro is amazing.
Used in conjunction with the Sensu brush stylus (https://www.sensubrush.com/) and experience the best digital painting experience without spending thousands on a Wacom tablet.


I believe all of these have free versions or versions with limited capabilities.
Inspire pro is about 5 bucks. The Sensu brush is relatively expensive, depending on which one you choose, between 25 and 45 bucks. Well worth it if you want to REALLY experience digital painting.

  1. Nice, Jack. I have been struggling with "notes" and found it bare bones to use. :-)
