How to use your iPad for real work

I'm so glad I came across this, because I could not find a use for the iPad, because it felt like a giant iPod to me. If you remember, I posted about the vector program for the iPad Inkpad, but now here are more useful ways to use it for professional work. I think I'm going to have to get a stylus.

iPhone Wallpaper by Ross Moody

The quote for this iPhone wallpaper designed by Ross Moody is true and needed to be shared. "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." That is so true, because you're actually doing something whether you're practicing a new technique, hanging out with your children, chatting it up with an old buddy, doodling on your sketchpad, etc. Click on the image to download this for your ipod, iphone.

Ink Pad for the iPad - Vector Program

There's this vector program you can use on your iPad called "Inkpad". I heard it was simple, intuitive, and you can save your work as a pdf, so you can open it up in Illustrator. Now that's great. I always wanted to be able to work on something on my iPad, since I find iPads to be pointless. It's available for $2.99 at the iTunes store.

This is what one designer was able to do using it.

iPad Finger Painting by David Kassan

I have recently acquired an iPad and trying to find the usefulness that people say it is. This particular video by David Kassan( http://davidkassan.com) makes me think there is a creative app that can be used on it. Although, he makes it easy to do, it is certainly not. This is very very good and I didn't think it was possible for the iPad. He states that the model sat in place for 3 hours while he worked this digital painting. Check this time lapse video out.
