Office in a pocket

Tuesday, May 25, 2010

Mobile-review have posted an article about the iPad. Here is a video and their final impression.

It is not difficult to describe when to use three applications for iPad. For some people Pages alongside Bluetooth keypad may substitute a massive desktop computer and even a laptop at times. This way we have a light and simple temporary solution for writers, journalists and those who express themselves in words. As to Numbers you don’t have to think twice as the spreadsheets will be useful for tradespeople. Having worked in retail in some not very distant past I appreciated (in days of Win CE or even Palm OS) the advantages of an electronic spreadsheet you can edit over pen and paper, which always got lost. Even here Keynote differs quite radically from the rest. If Pages allows and encourages to start anew, and Numbers allows the import of readymade spreadsheets to fill in on the tablet, Keynote for iPad can be used to demonstrate a finished product. Presentations are better created in normal conditions and iPad connected to a bigger screen or a video projector is quite convenient to show the results of work.

Eventually what we see in Pages, Numbers and Keynote for iPad is three different, but similar applications for the creation of something new, unique and beautiful away from your laptop or desktop PC. This is the way it should be as the tablet is meant to occupy the place between laptops for work and smartphones with entertainment features. It is more comfortable than iPhone and less functional than MacBook. After all the features of a new gadget have to be understood, recycled and taken as they are. These features should be constantly projected onto the numerous application created or adapted precisely for the tablet.
