![]() ![]() I keep hassling them about the search function! They are very nice and responsive, so I suspect it’s only a question of time. Multi-column support in outlines very convenient. OmniOutliner for iPad (almost brilliant, marred by lack of search function. Marred only by lack of bookmarks/shortcuts-which makes it difficult to switch quickly between the various elements in the vast amounts of data it can store) Notebooks for iPad (very, very powerful - bit of a learning curve, but good Markdown support and can also import and store web pages and files. ThinkBook (text only, but superb outlining capability with bookmarks, tagging and a good search function) Notebooks for iPad, which is now one of my staples). And some apps take time to win you over, e.g. You’ve just gotta experiment: in the end, what appeals to you will depend on your preferred modus operandi. the two Readdle apps mentioned below-are scarcely mentioned, even though they are actually superior to many more popular apps. sling Note, Student Pad-I’ve found almost unusable. Some of the stuff that’s been praised to the heavens-e.g. (Just one important note: I’m fascinated by the very different perceptions of apps you’ll encounter both in journalists’ reviews, and in user reviews in the Apps Store. Having said that, there are solutions, although none of them are perfect (which means it’s ideal territory for CRIMPers, who don’t look for “perfect”!). Yes, it is - switching to and fro from one window to another is not particularly easy on the iPad, and can result in significant frustration if you’re trying to write, do web research and consult multiple documents at the same time. First off, before anything else, I’d have to agree with a recent review of the HP TouchPad which describes the iPad as primarily single-task-focused. Ah, don’t get me started on the iPad, I’ve played with such a lot of stuff, and so much of it is really not very good, or could be really good but just doesn’t quite have what it takes. What have you liked beynond Apple’s numbers that you would recommend to other iPad owners? And, what would you not recommend? ![]() And plenty of opportunity to play, of course… ![]() I have a plethora of notebooks on my iPad (there are thousands out there), and some of them use really ingenious models which, even when flawed, give one plenty of food for thought. What a great development - that’ll be straight onto my already CRIMPed out iPad… One of the enticing things about iOS is the many different paradigms people are experimenting with. But I agree that this concept cries out for a larger screen (especially the two-handed gestures: Minority Report, anyone?). Oh, that is fascinating! Thanks for posting this - it’s why I love touchscreens, and also love what Apple have done with Numbers (which already allows a significant degree of freedom in manipulating objects). Seems like I may be a step closer to the iPad. Lots of videos available at the Georgia Tech site. Personally, I think I’d want a very big screen to work with this. Done by Georgia Tech, LiquidText was developed on Win7 touch screens, but will be available publically only on the iPad. LiquidText seems more for reading and studying, but still a very interesting collection of capabilities.
