Pingback: “Harry McCracken’s iPad”
Hi David and Katy –
Thanks for this episode. I recently finished a bachelor’s degree program using the iPad for 90% of the work. I used it for taking notes, composing papers, keynotes, scanning documents, downloading videos for keynotes and pretty much everything else. For my final research project consisting of 35 pages or so, I did need to use Pages on the Mac, as well as a statistics program for Mac, but that’s about is. When I started the program in Sept, ’10 I was the only one that had an iPad, when we finished, about 1/4 of the students and even the professor had one. What I learned is that there is a great opportunity for someone to come up with a standardized way of sending and sharing documents other than email… Great show today, thank you.
Have only used it a couple of times so far, but the CloudOn iPad app is the first app I’ve used that imitates MS Word (including the all-important track changes/review features we lawyers crave on the iPad). Worth a look. And thanks for these exceptionally informative podcasts.
I just really love this podcast and the use of OPML alone has improved my workflow as a psychologist.
David, you mentioned that you use Keynote (and I assume a Keynote episode will happen at some point). It sounds like you limit the text included on Keynote, but do you ever find the need to export OPML data to Keynote (e.g., from OmniOutliner or iThoughts HD)? I think it can be done on Mac OS, but it would be great it there were such options on iOS.
Great episode. It was nice to hear from someone using an iPad pretty mch full time. I fouund his take on keyboards especially interesting as I have the Apple Keyboard with a wingstand for my iPad & find it to be cumbersome to travel with.
Incidentally, I just got a new desktop keyboard (Matias One)which allows me to type on my mac & my iphone or ipad using the same keyboard. I don’t work for the company or have any other affiliation with them, but I just got it & find it to be a huge step forward in my workflow.
Hi David and Katy,
I discovered you last month. Great podcast. I became an apple convert after my wife gave me an iPad 3G gen 1 just after it came out. Never looked back. Use it every day. Would not want to be without it ever….
