My ipad review

I created this site because I absolutely loved the idea of getting my own ipad, but it wasn’t until just before Xmas that I scored an ipad2 and I thought I would write a quick ipad2 review from a non-technical point of view, seeing I have had some time to play with my ipad over the last couple of weeks.

Firstly, it is really cool and I love the apps available, however, it can get confusing with some apps being suited for iphone rather than ipad, and visa versa.

It takes a lot longer to charge than the iphone and seems to chew through the battery a lot quicker, so be prepared to always have your charger handy. I also found the ‘in car’ charger for the iphone doesn’t work on the ipad.

I found whereis to be a fantastic help, much easier than trying to read a damn map, but it doesn’t work on the iphone 3GS, keep crashing. There is no need for expensive ‘in car’ navigators if you have this app plus Google maps also does something similar which is cool.

I find browsing a little painful and it took me a little while to figure out I had to create a new page before I could get rid of the old one. I don’t like how it records all the pages I visit and I have to go into the bookmarks to delete them, but now I know how to do that it isn’t too big a deal. We do certainly have a long way to go to make browsing more user friendly, with a lot of sites not taking into consideration mobile browsing.

I love playing Angry Birds on the ipad because I can actually see the little buggers and it is great for some mindless entertainment.

Reading ebooks is pretty easy, I haven’t used a Kindle so I am not sure if there is a massive difference in readability, but it did the job.

Another little bug I found is that I have to keep turning off the ipad if I want to use the data plan because it keeps picking up my home wireless network even if I have deleted it, the ipad will still try to connect to it instead of using the data plan connection. That was very frustrating until I figured out that if I delete the wireless and turn off the ipad then it will use the plan when I switch it back on.

Anyway, that is my ipad review and I hope you got some valuable insight into the good and bad about the ipad. I still love mine.

If you have an ipad app or would love to provide a review on ipad 3 I would love for you to contact me with your article.

I finally picked up the new ipad 2 today and it is so cool. I love seeing what it can do that is different to the iphone. I was surprised that a lot of podcasts could not be viewed on the ipad and I had to download a podcast app. What the!

How can an Apple iPad not work with in itunes!

Go figure. What apps do you use for downloading and watching podcasts, vidoes and tunes on your ipad?

I have a couple of ideas for apps on the iphone and ipad and have been doing a little bit of research on what is available for a non-programmer.

I came across these two options, if you know of others please leave a comment.

I heard on the grapevine that ipad 3 was to be released in September 2011, however, some recent news indicates this may no longer be the case and it is likely to be sometime in 2012. Check out this article from Unwired View that talks about Apple still being in the process of certifying the ipad 3 component parts and the process for release may be delayed… click here to read more about it

Hi guys

I came across this information while doing some research and thought you might (or not) find it useful.

There are specific features, settings & apps for the ipad you can use for business and here are a few I have found that may help you use your ipad more efficiently for business purposes:

• ipad deployment scenarios for business
• an apple presentation on how you can use ipad for business including presentations, access and file management, making mobile meetings easy, and sharing information with colleagues, clients and stakeholders

From appstorm here are some business apps recently reviewed you may find useful:

• travel information at your finger tips
• instant messaging without the need for skype, or not
• productivity – keeping records
• got a blog you would like to update on the run, check out the WordPress app
• if you love looking at your options, check out the 30 beautifully designed apps just because it is fun to do so

If you use any business apps and you would like to give them a wrap, please leave your comment below with a link to the app.
