Test Blogpost From Ipad — 6 Comments
Okay, it looks as if it works fine. The WordPress iPad blogging app wouldn’t work at all, because it only works with WordPress 2.5 or later, but this one does work, and lets me add categories, insert links, and pics.
I’ll probably have to fiddle a bit to get around iPad’s lack of multitasking, but that’s going to be fixed shortly anyway.
So almost all of my objections to the iPad as being a toy unsuitable for actual work seem to be answered. I’ve had to spend maybe 200 bucks on various stuff like a folding Bluetooth keyboard and several apps so that I can write at Google Docs and blog, but it’s okay.
And the iPad app “Cheater’s Solitaire” is the best Klondike app I’ve ever found.
What app allows you to write in Google Docs?
Apparently several. The one I am using is pricy at 9.99, but it seems the most stable with the most features I’ve found – it’s called Office HD2, and is an iPhone app updated for the iPad.
You feed it your google user/pw, and it syncs up with your Google Doc account. You can then create and edit docs in Google Docs.
Documents To Go Premium looks even better, but at $12, I haven’t tried it yet.
QuickDocs is an iPod app that runs on iPad, supposedly, and I can get it to access my GoogleDocs, but it crashes constantly, and isn’t worth the trouble. I’d wait for an upgrade for the iPod on this one.
thanks.
FWIW, I like the iPad much better than I thought I would. It’s still a bit shaky as a writing machine, but I can write on it, print from it, and edit Cloud docs with it. I am also surprised just how big a difference the instant on feature makes.
I underestimated how convenient instant on/off is. Your word processor suggestion were interesting but not the cloud solution I need. I don’t need local storage at all and the .doc format doesn’t suit my model. If Google would just ‘flip a switch’ and open Google docs to mobil devices that would do it. Until then I’m using Jottit as my cloud editor.
