About
Welcome to the ALM iPad app blog. A lot of people have fallen for the shiny tablets. And Aric asked if I’d be interesting in starting up an internal, for-our-eyes-only blog on what I find useful, interesting, amusing, or terrible, on the iPad. Here’s the result.
As I struggle to find ways to be productive with my iPad, I’ve come to the conclusion that the device (and perhaps all similar devices) are designed for reading or viewing things, but not anything where the user needs to do any significant input. Agree?

Sort of. I’ve taken it on trips, both business and personal, and it’s been a good stand-in for my trusty MacBook. If by being “productive,” you mean doing your job, I half agree, half-disagree. Maybe it’s my job, which seems to consist of answering emails. The iPad’s great for that, once you get used to typing on it. That said, my responses are punchier, shorter, more to the point now.
I wouldn’t write a novel on it. But check out the iPad version of GarageBand–content creation, using virtual instruments. It’s not typical office work, but it’s creating, which is what a lot of people do. I’ll write about it soon.
Thanks for the comment, and for visiting the site.–ap

ALM iPad,
We would like to invite you to review our iPad application that was designed for secure enterprise mobile collaboration and would welcome your feedback on how we can best tailor the application for use in the legal industry.
The product allows for secure document sharing, distribution, and discussion within a secure conversation thread among multiple enterprise users – no more overflowing email inbox and team members reviewing an out-of-date document revision. Documents can be accessed from existing shared folders on dropbox, microsoft sharepoint, and box.net
iTunes link (free download):

We’re a responsive startup so this is a great opportunity to tell us what you like and don’t like about the current version so that we can customize the feature set to better meet our enterprise users’ needs.
