Using the iPhone as a mouse for your iPad
Ok. I love this! Of course, this requires a Citrix XenApp server, an iPhone and an iPad – which I have. http://community.citrix.com/x/AAElC
Running Microsoft Office on an iPad
If you’ve read my past blog entries, I’ve tried to use a Windows 7 Slate to work. I can run everything on it. I have USB ports. I have a 60Gb hard drive. But I don’t have instant on. It’s slow and the battery life is less than half a …
Using iBooks with PDFs
Yesterday Apple released the iBooks update that allows you to store PDFs like books. I use PDFs in the form of manuals and technical books. However, it’s a standard so there is quite a bit of material in this format. After updating, I didn’t see the PDF link in the …
Using a Stylus with an iPad
Sounds crazy huh? Steve Jobs is cursing me right now. Yeah, I bought a stylus. Partly to see what it would be like and partly to find out why they make the things. After all, you can use your fingers on the Apple iPad. And a stylus can’t be used …
The Birthday Present – an iPad
An update! I got one! Sure I held out a few months. Even bought a competitive product first. And there was that fiasco in buying one. I didn’t need the 3G version as I have a mifi card. But for most of us that may need to use an iPad …

Trying to Keep Our Lives Charged
How many items must you charge at night to keep tomorrow online? It used to be a cordless drill. A golf cart or a motorcycle you never get a chance to ride. But what about today? I know I have a few. Well, more than a few. Obviously, my cell …
The ultimate Apple iPad Case
I’m not sure if this qualifies as a “murse” – or man purse, but it’s a very high quality, well designed case for the Applie iPad. It’s expensive. So, I’ll keep looking. But take a look if you get a chance. I think what inspires me about it is the …
A cool little keyboard
The slate is nice. But I’m a touch typist. There are times (like when I’m updating this blog) that I must pound away. Difficult to do with a stylus or a fingertip on an onscreen keyboard. Solution? Well, I couldn’t find a folding bluetooth (wireless) keyboard in stock and there …
Which Computers are Better for Business Use
This topic was suggested to me by a friend and client…keep the suggestions coming! In this post, I’m going to talk specifically about Windows-based computers – as there is no Apple company store within 50 miles (West Palm Beach is the closest) and the majority of business computers are (cover …
