picked up a gen 2 iPad 16 gig wifi only the other day. I am a distributor of medical devices and one of the lines I represent has a full PDF and Quicktime iPad compatible data drop of the full surgical line viewable on the ipad using goodreader. Made it a logical choice to pick up an iPad and drop the filing cabinet of paperwork I was carrying before.
That said, I know I am only scratching the surface of the capabilities of the iPad. I am posting this to figure out what direction I should head in, or where I should invest my app $$$?!?! ha ha
Anyway, I have a full mac environment at home with an intel iMac, a powerbook and a gen 1 apple tv all connected with an airport extreme.
I am pretty stoked on the new airplay coming out with iOS 5 but apart from that I don't really know what to use my iPad for. Here is what I forsee.....
- drop videos and movies on it to watch while I am the road. Top Gear Torrents for those that know what that is.
- browse and edit some of my pictures using ps express
- use iBooks to read. Been doing that on my iPhone so logically will be doing it on my iPad
- drop photos directly from my video camera (contour +) and cameras to my iPad to view and unfortunately not edit directly on my iPad.
I see the potential for the iPad to be a true connection between my home network and my non home based network. I am looking forward to iCloud and iOS5 but until then what apps or directions do you think I should be looking at?
- jailbreak the iPad and iPhone and tether the iPhone to the iPad? That is all I can really think of but I know the forum can give me some ideas to start playing around with.
