Excerpt:

Let’s be real about this. You can’t do everything on an iPad. As Shawn Blanc pointed outthe other day, you can’t make iOS apps on it, for example. But you might be surprised by how much real work you can do on it with the right tools. If your work requires generally office-like capabilities, there are definitely iPad solutions.

Here are five road-tested apps for getting things done on an iPad. It’s not meant to be a complete list, but it’s meant to be a flexible one. These are tools that are not tied to any particular method of working. They’ll help any digital worker stay sane and accomplish things, and you might find that the iPad is a surprisingly nice device to use for them.

When someone introduces a powerful technology, I’m always amazed at the innovative directions that it goes in.  Years ago, when I was taking an introductory course re: multimedia applications at San Francisco State University’s Multimedia Studies Program, I was fascinated by the wide variety of ways in which the students solved the same assignment.  Such creative thinking was engaging, fun. Glory to God for our creative minds!

Some items that reminded me of this:

Sketching out a future for the stylus — from All Things Digital by Katherine Boehret

Excerpt:

I found two styluses to be strong and steady: Targus’s $20 Stylus for iPad and Wacom’s $30 Bamboo Stylus, available in six colors. Both have the same overall design, with a wider body and a clip for attaching to a shirt pocket or some iPad cases.
