iPad app review

April 4, 2010 Duncan Marketing

I have now owned my iPad for 24 hours and have had sufficient time to test out the free and some paid apps. Here is my run down on the apps:

1. Be careful of the app reviews (especially early on) many of the reviews seem to be from people who tried the app on their iPhone.
2. There are good reviews on the paid for apps (see Apples Pages, Numbers and Keynote). Biggest takeaway on these apps show how hard it is to convert these file types to Microsoft format. Like it or not, many businesses and schools use Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

A couple of great apps: iBook – easy to read and browse and the resolution is second to none (I own a Kindle and the iPad is much better). The news apps (USA Today, Reuters and AP) are great and using the iPad as a leisure device is living up to it’s reputation.

In a few weeks there will be more apps to choose from (fairly limited now) and I am looking forward to the social media apps like Facebook, Ning and instant messenger apps (AOL is available now).

I am writing this post from the WordPress.iPad app.
