I've been struggling for some time to find a solution to this. My professors are ridiculous Powerpoint happy folks, and I've gotten very accustomed to taking notes on my laptop by utilizing the speaker notes space (then printing to PDF and uploading to Evernote - voila, their notes, my notes, searchable, categorized... beautiful.)
I don't understand why this is so freakin' hard to do on the iPad! DocsToGo does it, of course, but D2G also crashes every 30 seconds and hates Bluetooth keyboards, which makes it unspeakably frustrating when I'm in them middle of lecture dealing with crashing apps, error messages, or I can't type any text into a new .doc file.
Pages has presenter notes, but then doesn't save/export them?! WTF? How is that useful?
Is there ANY other app that has this functionality? How about QuickOffice? Not dropping the $$ for that until I know more about it. I realize this is all still a developing area of iPad functionality but this seemed like such a simple thing to me until I tried it! Is there really no stable way to edit this very basic aspect of Powerpoint presenting?
