yeah i think ppl who always deal with client shud use ipad.. i'm planning to get mine too.biznes and leasure come together

basically i'm using my ipad for 2 main purpose:
1. my part time study. put all my classroom slides inside the ipad so i dont print it and save environment. ehem.

2. for work. as a marketing guy, i use the ipad to do presentation to sales guys, shows application video to customers, check tools functionality compare to schematic diagram in ipad, put the price list inside so i dont need to bring the thick price list book anywhere... the list is unlimited....

but still on editing part on Powerpoint/ excel, still need laptop for it. ipad makes it easy for me to show the file, not to create it.

just my 2 cents.

+ 1

ipad/iphone only win from the apps store perspective....

Hello guys,

iPads at work? Hmmm.. I use Penultimate with Elago stylus for minutes taking and jotting. I use Dropbox a lot to sync files from my Mac to iPad so no USB needed. Created quite a decent presentation file using KeyNote in one of the seminar i've attended thanks to the beautiful templates provided.

Now i dont have to print any slides for my own copy. Just convert to .pdf and view it using iBooks apps. No printed version needed if i want to view it at my own convenience.

But please, bear in mind. iPad is still not a Laptop replacement. If you are thinking of getting a Laptop or an iPad, get an Laptop. MacBook Air to be exact. If you are thinking of getting a Netbook or an iPad, get an iPad.

I have an iPad for about 3 months now and I really want my company's Outlook to work on my iPad... Got damn frustrated, tried for 3 months and it cannot work on mine!

My colleagues have no problem on their iPhone and iPad, we entered the same info too! Why me?

It keeps on appearing "Unable to verify account information". Does anybody have solutions for me? Or any way which I can reset the mail settings?

Your company's email server is on Exchange 2003 or 2007?

Have you configured all of the required details into your iPad?

I mainly use my iPad to carry all my documents around and jot down notes in meetings, but thats it. If I need to write a memo or something I'll just run back to my desktop or borrow someone's laptop.

Portability is one of the best feature, as I need to be connected all the time and bring documents around. Also, my department is 1 of the top ten in the company who waste paper a lot...

Are you on firmware 4.2.1? How about checking with your Exchange admin? Some need to enable passcode in order to download mail.

Edit : Just got to know it is Exchange setting.

i am looking to use my ipad at work but not sure which data package to take as i am not sure how much data usage is required.

since its my own effort and most likely not claimable so im checking those cheaper packages, after some survey here and there, i am looking at rm38 digi discover day and yes

any advice or comments?

how you intend to use YES? they don't have SIM card. you have to get the Huddle.

yeap, looking at getting the RM1200 package which will give the device for free and IF im disciplined enough, will have 40 months of access

Heh bro ,


My iPad whole night charging also not fully charge. Do u facing same problem?


Regards

no... if i cud recall, a full charging takes 2 - 3 hrs

Dude, wrong thread

bro..where did you purchased the Elago stylus? and how much?

Good question. Or any other stylus is good enough.

Just to share my experience using it for work. I was contemplating buying a laptop initially for my wife to work. Basically she just needs to make entries in a spreadsheet for her accounting purposes. Then when the iPad came out, I thought that buying it would make more sense, since we do not need a powerful laptop to use Excel right?

So I tested some office softwares. I have only the wifi version, and my wife's place dun have internet. So need to edit documents offline and sync them back when she got to a wifi.

Here are the softwares tested and my feedback:

Apple Works : Numbers - Pretty graphics, allows to export to Microsoft Excel format, but I never try that. The deal breaker is that I can't export to cloud storage. Need to use emails. YUCK!!

QuickOffice : Pretty graphics, tabs that actually looks like tabs. Remembers your last page viewed. Can store to cloud storage, BUT it cannot edit the content offline. Dealbreaker I'm afraid!

DocsToGo : Worst graphics among the trio, tabs needs some page switching. But it can store to DropBox and edit GoogleDocs directly! And the best part is, when you are offline, you will still be able to edit it! Once you have wifi, you can sync back the changes! Perfect!

i am new to ipad. I am thinking to buy a netbook or ipad, hope can get some advise from here. Below are some activities i will do after i get either netbook or ipad.

1)surfnet, like reading newspaper, reading blog, facebook game, online banking, IM and checking email.

2) watch video,play some small game, read pdf book.

3) Minor editing/creating the MS words/PowerPoint file from others person pendrive/email.

so, according to above activities, which one is more suitable to me??

FYI it can never replace net book/notebook

Of the above, facebook game is not possible, since iPad does not support flash. Editing from other person's document via pendrive is tough, you will need to use a lot of workarounds, like use a camera connection kit, put in cloud, send via email, etc.

Otherwise, the rest works beautifully.
