Check out "Sundry Notes", there is a free lite version to try. Really worth the USD4.99 with embedded pdf, word or excel files inside a scrollable window. Sync to Dropbox, Evernote etc. I have 3 to 4 notes app and this is awesome.

im using ipad to remote connect to my office machines and servers. ( using itap rdp or logmein). Everyone in my dept was provided an ipad . so, we all carry the ipad when we walk into a meeting.

I keep some files on goodreader to read and refer during a meeting

i've written sql queries using the ipad as well. but simple queries lah. anything funky and i wait til im in front of my laptop...

Wow. Your company is great. We don't even get iPhone.

small company ma.. easy lor. my friends office. her boss all into mac, so they all using macs and iphones and ipads.

sounds like a dream come true to most of us i think

found new use recently with sketchbook which i intially use for drawing tool.

i use screencap function to capture docs and tech drawings then draw/anotate over them. project schedule, i screencap calendar and diagram over it.

I use iPad to replace my office notebook when meeting clients. With 3G connection, it makes my presentation so much easier when I want to propose new solutions since information is just a click away. Yesterday my Day 2 using iPad at work, and it helped me closed a deal, faster, although not a big ones. My customer was very impressed with iPad, asked me where can she get it cheap lol.

Is the processor and page turns fast? Thinking of trying it out.

yes. to me its very fast. of course depends on what app you are using la...

Download and use Zinio. The free magazine previews are limited but interesting for casual browsing of some tech, business magazines, etc. US and UK-oriented but interesting casual browsing content. I like the Economist. Malaysian must teh reading more! Then our England more powderful one! And hopefully brain better too, instead of working like dogs for the "ruling class".

In Zinio, acceptable as well. Not super-smooth, but alright.

Found this thread very helpful as i too have been compiling strong reasons i should get one as i do travel on peak times of the year but i use my iphone to check emails and surf the net, hence do i really need an ipad?.. since the official ipads are now launched and the prices are pretty interesting, will need to sit down and mull over it..

yeah me too, just got my ipad yesterday...i read thru this thread b4 i decided to get one... i'll mainly use it to surf net at home (wifi connection on desktop not very strong so i can sit anywhere i want with the ipad, plus start up is faster than desktop, very convenient for casual surfing), read ebooks, check emails, now gonna explore how to use it for work, mainly presentations, will def store documents on it thru dropbox and bring them along when i travel for work... and then there's games and movies...

Anyone has any idea what word processing app has the track changes function? It would be great for report editing.

The iPad for me is an entertainment gadget rather than a device to replace laptops or even netbook. Each device is targeted for a particular purpose. If we try to carry out tasks that other devices are meant for we will be disappointed. I use mine for reading ebooks and pdf format magazines and books and the screen display makes reading a great experience. I own a Nook and an iRiver ebook reader and the iPad makes reading more enjoyable. Web browsing is an additional experience. But seriously if you want iPad for serious work, better get a lightweight laptop. My opinion.

I Agree with you

Try to use Mac Air as your lightweight laptop .

It is very convenient if you want for a serious work and carry everywhere . It it very light ! almost only 1.06kg.

For me, its depend on you & your job type. But see this, how they do it;
