Looking into an ipad and how do some of you guys use your iPad for productivity? For school? Home? Work? etc.
any apps would help too
Going to repeat some already mentioned but which are worthy of a second shout:
- Evernote (love this app)
- Dropbox (SugarSync to a lesser degree, but that's just my setup) => I have access to 12GB of storage between the two
- GoodReader (tried PDFpen, but am not as happy with it as GR)
- Pages
- Wunderlist, a free task manager app, with a desktop version I run on my iMac which syncs (also there's a web-based version you can access), all free!
Starting to play with two new apps, both of which seem excellent
- Penultimate
- Notability
So many more, not the least of which are all the games, essential if you plan to be fully productive on this device, a little fun/downtime is required! My favourite of late are: The Room, Tiny Wings (my new fave), Water? and Lep's World 2.
Would you not find it also very useful to have Apple allow us to have a file system where we could download our files on our iPad for our use when we do not have WiFi.
You can, there are lots of ways (I've been out of the iOS world for awhile, newly back with my mini purchase, which I absolutely love).
I've never tried
iFiles (which someone suggests in this thread, I've heard good things about it, reminds me to go try it now).
Dropbox allows for offline synchronising, as does
SugarSync, both of which allow 6GB of free storage (offline, which can then be synchronised to your iPad). You can then open the file in another programme (such as Good Reader or Pages or PDFpen or whatever you want), which acts like a "send to" operation as far as I can tell.
Good Reader is also a great tool for managing files as it allows you within the programme to connect to external servers (so you don't have to open Dropbox first, then send the file to the programme of your choice).
