Love my iPad2, just trying to figure out how to make it work even harder!

[kristinattu]

My name is Kristina and I am a graduate student about to finish my Ph.D. As the title of my post says, I really love my iPad2, but I am constantly coming across things that I wish it could do for me. I joined this forum because I try to make my iPad work as hard for me as possible. It is often functioning as a replacement computer for me, rather than just a bigger version of my iPhone 4!!!

Welcome, Kristina.

Keep and eye on the OnLive and CloudOn services. They should be adding new tools soon (probably for a fee).

Onlive is awesome! A little buggy, but it's like having another os with you.

Thanks for the welcome and the suggestion. I already checked out and signed up for onlive. I am so excited about it. I can really see how it will help with the work I do on a daily basis! I am going to check out cloudon next.
