I feel like my boys at Christmas right now, because I’m writing this post on my new iPad! I won the iPad in a random drawing during a continuing education webinar from Business Finance magazine three weeks ago. As an admitted gadget guy, I’m looking forward to using my new toy.
However, it will not be all fun and games with the iPad. I want to use it for business as much as I can. I realize this small tablet can’t begin to replace a laptop computer, but I will see how far I can go with this remarkable little tool.
Over the next several weeks, I will provide some updates on my efforts to use the iPad for business use. I will give you the good, bad, and ugly so you can make an informed choice on how this tool can help you work faster and smarter.
As for this blog post, I typed it all on the iPad. Except for hitting the n instead of the space bar a few times, I had little trouble typing a post of nearly 200 words. I was surprised at how easy the typing was in landscape mode. When I switched to portrait mode, my thumbs were a little less accurate. However, typing on the iPad is much easier than on my touchscreen Android phone.
