We Would of Blogged Sooner But We Have Been Messing With our iPad

Well it’s been an interesting week with Apple announcing they have marched two million plus iPads out the door. Our first iPad entered the building amidst the flashing of cameras and it rapidly became the most twittered about object in our office. We can thank Jon for that. Well the photos soon stopped coming through as setting up the beast became the priority. I can say that setup was trouble free and testament to Apples image of quality and user friendliness.

Star of the show…

We have spent way too much of the company’s money in the App store and I can safely say not all the apps are work related. Using the iPad as a tool in business and around the house has been fantastic with remote access to email, documents, calendar and the periodic table (one of those unrelated to work apps)… when we are away from our development machines.

Using the optional SD and USB input for digital camera photo input we have uploaded photos and movies from our camera and the photos feature on the iPad is great. Don’t want to watch Brothers and Sisters with the wife… you need AirVideo which lets you stream music and video wirelessly from other sources. I can’t wait until the iBook store comes online properly as the iPad is a great eReader.
