Yep, finally did it. Broke down and got an iPad. Must say, its a lot easier to carry around than my laptop. I am still in search of cool apps to put on it, both legal and non-legal. I have come across a few that I really like (some thanks to Lynne - www.practicalparalegalism.com) and wanted to share them with you and solicit responses from you as to apps you would recommend.
Feeddler - This is a RSS reader and is very easy to use, easy on the eyes on the iPad. (I recommend subscribing to PadGadget, iPad4Legal and AppShopper, see below.)
If you have an iPad, subscribing to PadGadget and AppShopper is a must. You receive 3-4 posts a week with their top free or on sale iPad apps.
Fastcase - free legal research in your iPad.
Dropbox - install on your iPad and desktop and share documents between the two devices.
Docs2Go - work with Word, Excel, Powerpoint and PDF files. (This costs a bit but is worth the cost.)
Paper Toss - a very addicting game.
Epicurious & Serving Sizer - a recipe database and a program to put all those recipes in.
Please respond if you have any suggestions for apps you think I should try.
My fave app right now is Penultimate. Good-bye legal pads! GoodReader, a PDF viewer, is also awesome for those of us who want to live in a paperless world. Getting ready to go a board meeting with the ginormous agenda not printed out, but uploaded via GoodReader to view via iPad. Save the trees! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the ipad. I love mine very helpful for personal, work, and school. I only wish I had waited a while to get mine. Now that they are out w/ version 2 . . . but thats how it always is. You get it and a month later there is a newer version LOL
