Tools of the Trade / Re: iPad: What do you think?

« on: Apr 23, 2010, 02:23 pm »

I recently purchased the iPad and am going to see what happens.  I have a one-act coming up and will use it as my book.  I've downloaded a few apps to see if they work for stage managing.  First is a pdf reader Goodreader.  Rehearsal - its a app made for iphone - you can upload scripts, write notes, record, place photos.  I think you eventually have to pay for uploading - i'm still looking into it.  So far I was able to upload my one-act on pdf for free.  Bento for project management (calendar, tasks etc), Notes pro and Stick it.  The Complete Works of Shakespeare.  I already love the ibook over eReader and Kindle.  Kindle came out with a iPad app.  I'm going to see how that works, i love the Kindle library and would love to have all my tech theatre reference books on the iPad.   There is also ipad versions of word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation which i will upload in the future.   I'm not paying 30 buck a month for 3g so i'm just using wifi for email and internet on the ipad.  I'll wait to see if my carrier will eventually include ipad.  I won't be starting the one-act for a few week yet.  In the meantime I'm just playing with the apps.
