Mac expert Joe Kissell is the author of the new Take Control of Working with Your iPad, one of the four Take Control titles focusing on the iPad. Working on your iPad may not be the first think you think of, but Joe helps set expectations, explaining what the iPad is and is not good for, talking about whether it can or cannot replace a laptop, and even if it should. If you adopt a pioneering spirit, and are willing to do a little planning, you can get a lot of work done with your iPad. Joe gives some real-world examples, discusses how cloud apps in general and Google Docs in particular work with the iPad, and covers web surfing limitations and browser alternatives to Safari. Moving digital assets to and from the iPad is currently an “area of pain,” and Joe talks about how to take some of the sting out of the process, the pros and cons of the Calendar app, editing documents on your iPad and more.
