The Best iPad Apps Revealed

by Ava on September 2, 2010

iPad has evolved form being a toy to browse the internet with and to play computer games and read emails and watch Netflix videos to similar work functions on a laptop or notebook. Powered with a number of apps that makes the iPad virtually as useful as any other desktop or laptop, you can do almost anything. Let us take a look at these new apps that can greatly assist an iPad user when it comes to productivity and business, some of which are absolutely free.

The app 2 Screens allows you to show whatever you are seeing on your iPad monitor on a bigger screen or present materials on your iPad with the iPhone as your remote controller. Couple this app wit the Air Sharing app that allows iPad users wireless uploading or downloading of file from the main computer which also allows you to be able to print many document formats.

The Audionote app is an awesome tool that lets the user write notes on the iPad screen and at the same time recording and saving an audio track that is synchronized and since it can be played back, you can choose the portion of the audio you want to play. Box.net app gives you a free 1GB of cloud storage so that you have the ability to access your files wherever you are without crowding your hard drive with these extra files.

There are two apps that would prove to be very useful for the business on the move and these would be the Documents 2 Free app and the Documents to Go Premium and both accounts allows you to edit, view, and transfer office documents while on the go and at the same time create and preview Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint, and Word files and the good thing about this app is that it also lets you sync your files with the desktop.

For people who have a lot of office documents to write, the Dragon Dictation app would be a very useful iPad app since it uses probably the most versatile voice recognition software on the iPad for free. You can just voice out whatever you write and it gets written faster than you could type them. And afterwards, use the FileApp software to store your files wirelessly whatever type of file you have, images, text documents, audio, or even video files.

The Jump Desktop app is so awesome it lets you work almost anywhere and have control of your Windows-based computer using the iPad.
