Presentations and the iPad

My iPad showed up on Saturday morning and I thought I would share how I am going to use it.

I would like for it to be my mobile brain while on business trips.  I will use the video's and books features while sitting in airports, hotels, and while dining alone.

When I visit with folks in an office here is what I envision.  I will use Evernote as my brain and store evaluation forms, items from my business toolkit, and articles and "fast facts" that can help individuals meet their goals.  I am putting together several quick hit presentations on Keynote in order to walk people through more difficult concepts, as most folks are visual learners.  I can follow up with an email containing the information from my iPhone.

I will also use Evernote in church to store manuals, talks and scriptures.

iPad Quick Hits

  • It's heavy - My Kindle is much lighter (10 oz.)  I don't think it will be a problem but one-handed reading is a thing of the past, or at least I won't do it for long.
  • The screen is glossy and gorgeous.
  • iPad apps are amazing - I have Evernote, Flight Control, Keynote and iWork, iBooks, Kindle, IMDB, Bento, Netflix, Zinio, The NYTimes, USA Today and the WSJ.
