  • I read on it, a lot. Instapaper is great for saving articles and blog posts for later reading. My iPad is also loaded with PDF's related to my teaching and research, which I often take notes on, using iAnnotate
  • Add a Bluetooth keyboard, and I have an incredibly lightweight writing machine with enough battery power to last me all day long. And to those critics who argue that you can't create media on the iPad, I suggest they spend some time with the new GarageBand app
  • traveling or doing any light work for school or work
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • reading news to keeping up with social networks to blogging to light photo-editing work and uploading (with Adobe Photoshop and Flickr), and, of course, media watching and casual game playing.
  • LogMeIn Ignition
  • read the things that I save to Read It Later
  • read longer scholarly articles using either iAnnotate or GoodReader
  • take it with me to all my meetings, where it works as a great tool for taking quick notes (using Plaintext, everything gets synced to Dropbox), checking relevant Web sites, or responding to Exchange-powered meeting invitations
  • small Bluetooth keyboard is simple and adds up to a viable laptop replacement
  • I can handle classroom management (tracking attendance and calculating student grades) using the "attendance" and "numbers" applications. I can update course blogs (I use WordPress) quickly and easily. I can also respond to student work by using Dropbox and iAnnotate. Then, with a simple e-mail program (Gmail, for instance), I am able to send graded work back to students.
  • convenient note-taking device
  • On the iPad, I use Evernote (though any of several text editors would work as well), and so my notes are not only more readable, but they are automatically synced anywhere I might need them. That's nice. The reading/media-consumption aspects of the iPad were not really a surprise, but they've certainly been delightful.
  • I use Pages and Google Docs a lot.
  • for reading RSS/Twitter feeds and Web browsing. When I head out, if I'm not up for carrying the laptop, the iPad usually makes the cut.
  • I have all my files accessible via Dropbox (over Wi-Fi) or a significant percentage of my PDF's synced to it via DevonThink To Go (but I usually read any files in GoodReade
  • iTeleport for controlling computers remotely (
  • Instapaper has all those Web articles I never got around to reading

    We should test out option #1 in the Dubin classroom during the ipad group meeting this Thursday. I'll download the app and give it a try.
