Hello everyone. I'm thinking about getting an ipad for college. Does anyone have any recomendations as far as accessible apps for me to use?

Hello keekee,

Welcome to the forums. You will find that we are a very helpful bunch. If you have any questions or comments please don't be afraid to post.

Could you please tell us some more about what you intend to use your iPad for. Do you want it ad an organiser, or for storing photographs and music, or for written documents etc? if you give us more clues, we will be able to help.

I note you have posted on the iPad Mini thread, advising that you are visually impaired. Certainly the great resolution of the iPad screen helps with clarity of pictures. What would you like to get from apps to deal with your impairment?

Lets hope you continue to participate in and enjoy the forum.

Now, I suggest that one of the first things you do is to read the forum rules etc. Links to useful sections follow :-

Hi,

Can you give more details on the matter?

I use the apps GoodReader and DropBox to get files to my iPad. GoodReader can do so via WiFi or iTunes. DropBox via The Cloud. Both work well. I think they're both free. Good luck!

Hi all. I bought my wife an iPad as a gift about a year ago. She makes basic use of it for emails and the odd game, but I am the fix it and how to guy. I find its best use is when on the road, not for work as we are retired, but just when we are out and about. I have mastered much of what I need to know to use it, but there is still plenty to learn to make the most of it.

I use a WD TV Live wifi media player attached to my HDTV at home and love it. However, I really need a wireless keyboard to enter data to it rather than the exceedingly slow remote. I have been trying to figure out how to use the iPad as a wireless keyboard. I can do it with YouTube searches but not as a general keyboard for other functions. There are so many apps out there that finding the right ones is a challenge. I play bridge on Bridge Base at times, I also video Skype around the world. I am frustrated by the lack of flash capability in Safari.

Anyway, iPad is an amazing device which my wife enjoys and I love when I can get my hands on it. It will never replace my PC though - different thing entirely.
