  2. Official iPad Communication Magical

  3. My General Thoughts • Haven’t found any real reason to use an iPad over my laptop • In some cases there are extra steps required to make iPad useful • For Example, Present Anywhere • Step 1 create powerpoint on laptop • Step 2 upload to mightymeeting. • Step 3 open on iPad • I’m still a bit afraid to “cut the cord” from my laptop • I have left town with the iPad only • Found myself a bit lost without complete access to the data on my laptop.

  4. My General Thoughts • Limitation due to constant connectivity requirements for some apps • Mightymeeting (can’t refresh w/out connection) • Mendeley • NYT • WSJ • CourseSmart • Constant connectivity is required for may who commute (I commute) • Cost $60 a month to add iPad to my current service

  5. My General Thoughts • iPad’s usefulness depends on apps • No real useful apps for marketing and or marketing research at the moment • i.e., tools I can’t readily find using my laptop • Some apps require financial investments • E.g., WSJ for full access

  6. My General Thoughts • I don’t think the iPad is a real teaching tool yet • This doesn’t mean it can’t be used by some as a teaching tool • This is app dependent in a lot of cases • I think the statement above is supported by the fact that the iPad is positioned as indulgent technology (next slide)

  7. Having Said All of This… • I have found some use for the following apps • Wall Street Journal • Mendeley • Mendeley is a free reference manager and academic social network that can help you organize your research, collaborate with others online, and discover the latest research. • Automatically generate bibliographies • Collaborate easily with other researchers online • Easily import papers from other research software • Find relevant papers based on what you’re reading • Access your papers from anywhere online • Mendeley is of limited use to me now but it may improve over time

  8. Final Thoughts • I think the iPad is a real tool for you early adopters • Excited about the tool • Eager to seek out apps • At this point in time one as to be very proactive in seeking out useful apps • I feel the usefulness of the iPad depends on apps and connectivity

  9. Final Thoughts I believe marketing text publishers will make more of their tools available for use on iPad It is a cool device and I have found many non-work related uses for it. I wish it could do for my academic life what it does for my non-academic life…and I’m sure it will in time
