Brief thought about the iPad

April 14, 2010 1 comment

The iPad won't work as a "road warrior" computing solution unless one can create a doc in a word processing program, spreadsheet program, slide presentation program, that can be read by the majority of business people. I can't sit at Starbucks with the iPad and get an email from a client with a Word doc attached, open and work on it, save it and send it back to the client. Without this feature, then the iPad is just a very cool toy for reading books/magazines, watching movies, surfing the 'net, and reading emails (but not editing attachments, only viewing).

Sad, because I really wanted one but can't justify $1000 for a toy.

    I'm sure some brilliant developers will build an app that allow you to do that. The basis of I am saying that is this app, Freeform – The Vector Drawing App for iPad – http://stuntsoftware.com/freeform/
