Three million of Apple's iPad has been sold so far, making it the best selling tablet in the market. But, when it comes to business usage, the iPad can be a disappointment. Basic word processor, email client, contacts directory and calendar are slim pickings, especially for those who want to use the device for work on the road.
But, thanks to Apple, their App Store has good variety of applications to help business people get going. Some apps like Network Utility, which checks out a company's networking infrastructure, Office² HD, which is a one-stop shop for creating and modifying business documents.
Pages
Pages creates documents of surprising sophistication, documents look great and there's a lot of flexibility in how you can present them. The app can change formatting options like margins, type and indents, as well as adjust word wrapping around images.
There's a good variety of formatting options, including 16 premade templates, and to make a simple chart or graph, you just tap in your numbers. Pages will automatically fit the document to the width of the iPad display, regardless of whether it's being held horizontally or vertically. This makes complicated documents easier to work with.
Numbers
When it comes to manipulating figures, Numbers is a gem. The screen can hold an active worksheet as well as tabs for five more. There are 250 functions available, more than twice the number included with Office² HD. Numbers can create nine different graphs at the swipe of a finger as you highlight the data and choose which format to use, you can instantly change them to a different look. The program uses the same 16 Apple templates as Pages for a consistent look.
Keynote
For many business travellers, giving presentations is the reason for not being in the office in the first place. The Keynote app can make quick work of creating simple shows on the road, editing complicated ones or just putting on a show. The interface may look familiar to those who use the Mac version, but Keynote was built from the ground up for the iPad, with an emphasis on using its screen to the fullest.
Keynote offers 12 themes, whereas Pages and Numbers offer 16, but it adds sophisticated image and text animation. You tap on the text or images to change and resize them.
Pages, Numbers and Keynote- these apps developed iPad application developers are really will get your business going even on the move. When there's work to be done, and when there are documents to be read, edited or created, no apps do as much for making the iPad so successful.
