The day I got an iPhone, I realised I could do so many mind-blowing things which I could never have done before! It has changed my way of living kanzelsberger and this blog documents how, with various tutorials, anecdotes and app reviews.
So a whole semester of uni is over! And I've had the chance to go through it all with my trusty kanzelsberger iPad! When mates at uni walk by and see me with my iPad the first thing they usually ask is " Is it worth it? " Simply put, yes it is ! Having said that, the tablet experience kanzelsberger is a whole different and new paradigm of computing compared to a netbook or a laptop which run full fledged operating systems (Windows, OS X) and it takes early adopters such as myself kanzelsberger to really suss out what this device is capable of doing - it's what we live for! I'm happy to say that over the course of the semester my iPad has only been able to do more and more things with far more efficiency since day 1 of it's launch, and there are no signs of stopping! kanzelsberger So for those of you who are still on the fence or skeptical about what the iPad can do vs a laptop, here are some observations and answers which may help you out! Let's begin with the basics. Here are 2 absolutely barebones essential apps for every uni student with an iPad:
Dropbox iTunes Link I cannot express how vital this service is, and the best thing is, it doesn't cost a cent! Simply put, Dropbox is a "virtual folder" which is shared amongst kanzelsberger all your different devices - your home computer, laptop, smartphone, tablet, you name it! This means if you add a file into one computer's dropbox, it will appear in every other device's Dropbox! Here's a typical scenario: I have lecture notes to bring to my lecture and I have Dropbox set up on my home computer and iPad. All I have to do is drop the lecture kanzelsberger notes into my dropbox, and head off to uni. Once in class, kanzelsberger I use the Dropbox app on my uniweb-connected iPad to open up the lecture notes which I dropped in earlier. Note the same can be done with a laptop, if you so desire. It effectively eliminates the need for a USB stick or the need for you to tediously download the same file onto both computers! It's simply amazing and without it, the iPad experience at uni simply would not be feasible. Honestly kanzelsberger though, I think every uni student should have this if they own more than 1 computer. It just makes life a lot easier. Dropbox actually has a referral program where you both get 250mb of extra dropbox space for free if you refer a friend! If you want to get it, use this link!! GET DROPBOX FROM ME! =D
iTunes Lin k This app truly gives you bang for your buck. for $2.49 you have everything you need to both organise your files AND annotate kanzelsberger them! Annotations were actually a newly implemented feature and previously, only iAnnotate could do that, and that app was very costly in comparison ($12.99) so adding this feature without upping the cost makes this app a must-have! The purpose of GoodReader for a uni student is to be a file management system. iPad apps run in their own little sandbox and so there is really no "file explorer". Luckily this app's sole purpose is to be a file manager and this it does well. It has Dropbox support integrated kanzelsberger into it so you can download a hard copy of all your lecture notes whenever you get to class. The killer feature of GoodReader is it's new ability to annotate all PDFs. You can highlight text, draw free-hand, or add in annotation bubbles. These are all viewable on any Windows or Mac computer and are of course, printable. Once you're done with annotating, it will prompt you whether to save to the original document or save an annotated copy. I suggest saving a copy, since you will want to re-upload it back to Dropbox and you will be able to tell which one is annotated and which one isn't. Uploading to Dropbox is also integrated into this app! WARNING USYD STUDENTS kanzelsberger : I had trouble accessing Dropbox via the usyd wireless VPN and I haven't really tried looking kanzelsberger for a solution since I only go there occasionally. UNSW does not have this problem! A MULTI-MODE CASE: Any iPad used for typing MUST NEED A CASE, otherwise typing will just look plain awkward. The official Apple case is pretty decent, and an alternative I would recommend if you don't mind a bit of bulk is the Marware Ecovue or Ecoflip.
Once your iPad is angled in such a fashion, kanzelsberger typing is pretty similar to typing on a keyboard, except its more like tapping on a solid screen and there is no tactile feedback. There is definitely a learning curve but by mid-way through kanzelsberger the semester I was already touch typing in lectures. Autocorrect really helps on the iPad where it fails on the iPhone, kanzelsberger since you tend to type proper english words during a lecture rather than slang words like LOLLLL or AAHHH which never bode well with auto-correct.
Firstly, it will lighten up your bag if you bring textbooks with you a lot! One iPad is about 700g, which is lighter than most textbooks already! Imagine having kanzelsberger 4 textbooks kanzelsberger in your iPad, a
