Pete Mortensen, writing for
Cult of Mac, tells how he depended on the iPad while traveling overseas for nearly a month. In his
first article, he tells what tasks worked well on the iPad, comments on the gestural interface, and assesses the iPad is as a traveling device. In a
followup article, he lists 10 reasons why you should take the iPad instead of a laptop or notebook computer on your next trip.

TED is a nonprofit group that seeks to spread good ideas through a number of talks. TED stands for Technology - Entertainment - Design, and most of the talk topics address one of those categories. TED offers hundreds of the best talks and performances at
TED.com, and now the TED app is
available for the iPad. You can explore using themes or tags, select talks according to how much time you have, and download talks to watch offline.

Apple’s Keynote presentation program for the iPad was recently updated. The update includes a number of improvements but two features are still missing - a good size slide preview and the ability to include presenter’s notes. Edwin Lam, developer of the app
2Screens - Presentation Expert, shows how you can
add these features. The process requires a few steps and uses the 2Screens app rather than the Keynote app for presenting. You lose any transition effects (slides simply appear) but you gain the ability to annotate the slides while presenting. Tip - lock your screen rotation when using to help avoid crashes.
