I've tried to use Document to Go, but the apps is not user friendly in iPad...
Wanted to get Quick Office HD but no charts in the spreadsheet... sweat.gif  sweat.gif
Wanted to get Numbers but permanently stuck to iPad... rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif
sigh... really no good office apps

As of yesterday Number & Keynotes can export to MS Excel & MS power point already.

I have been heavily promoting the iphone & ipad to the MIS staffs. One guy even says he can allow itune to be installed in my office PC. THats great, but I tell him it still needs to be connected to my account. He says he'll look into that next time. So far I have gotten them to soften up about WIFI around the emails, calander & wireless file transfers in the office. I try not to push it too damn far.

We'lll see what happens when the MIS boss starts using iPhone 4.

Hi. Just wondering if anyone had used Keynotes for presentation? I have to give a lot of training and carrying the Ipad with a VGA cable to link to the projector will really help a lot smile.gif

I have been using my Ipad mainly for work, for almost 2 months now. So far my experience has been pretty pleasant. I mainly use my ipad for:
- referring to price list/ PDF/ Office documents
- jotting down notes during a meeting
- go online whenever i need to (especially when i need extra information other than those i have prepared beforehand)
- emails on Exchange Server 2010
- presentation to clients (via Keynote)
- occasional gaming during travel

To be frank, all things listed above can be achieved with a normal net book or laptop... But one thinf is for sure, my ipad can run for 3 days on 3G until it needs a recharge... This is not achievable on any other computing device.

Hi. in your presentation to clients via keynote, do you link it to the projector? hows your experience with it? is it like using a notebook?

@nickygin: When you hook your VGA-cable to your iPad via the adapter. It's just as simple as plug and play.

Guess Ipad is a entertainment gadget rather than a "workstation". I have Iphone & Macbook Pro, I was trying to get an replacement for my Macbook as it is heavy for me to carry around during work. But lately I notice, ipad is not an replacement at all. Dropbox will incur additional cost, hmm... may be just use ipad as a diary and "note"book..

@nickygin: No problem, glad to help.
@jazcah: Steve Jobs has already stated that the iPad is NOT meant to be a computer replacement. Just take it as a tablet-based portable media player.

Dropbox at least gives you free 2Gb worth of storage which I find very useful especially since I only keep documents. Now I have 3.2Gb thanks to the referrals I have tongue.gif

Hi, I was contemplating whether to get the Ipad because of Documents to Go since my company uses a lot of PPT files for our work. Could you please elaborate more why is it not user friendly in the Ipad?

u can use a few apps that supports those formats such as office(2) HD or documents to go...
or u can use apple's version of microsoft office...
iworks which consists of pages(word), keynote(powerpoint) and numbers(excel).
