"This week, TIME Magazine editor-at-large Harry McCracken interviewed himself as a follow-up to his piece on how he had been using his iPad as his primary computer. During the interview he mentions that he still uses his iPad a lot \u2013 so much so that it is still his favourite computer.\r\n\r\nYes, he\u2019s a journalist. But he points out that others have taken up the charge of becoming \u201Cbig time\u201D iPad users:\r\n\r\n\u201CI\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s not just journalists who are using iPads as computers. I see people doing it in airplanes. I\u2019ve seen them doing it on the subway. When I\u2019m out and about, strangers run up to ask me about my keyboard. Something\u2019s happening here, and it\u2019s happening quickly\u2026\u201D\r\n\r\nI can say that I\u2019ve been using my iPad more and more \u2013 and I still have my trusted original version. And yes, I am a writer. But I also am running a business. And you\u2019d be surprised how much you can do on an iPad to keep your business running smoothly. In fact, for many entrepreneurs, you can find everything you need to run your business\u2026on your iPad.\r\n\r\nI\u2019ve compiled a list of 30 of some of the best apps (some made for the iPad, some made for the iPhone that will need to be doubled in size upon launch) out there that can help you get well on your way to making your iPad the ultimate business tool.\r\nEvernote\r\n\r\n\r\nEvernote is a great all-in-one tool for notes and much, much more.\r\nGlassboard\r\nGlassboard is an easy way to set up and take part in discussion groups between yourself and clients or coworkers.\r\n\r\n&amp;amp;nbsp;\r\nMail\r\nThe app comes standard with your iPad, so you can always have every email wth you no matter where you are.\r\nAgenda Calendar\r\nFar better than the standard Calendar app, Agenda syncs up with a host of online calendars and allows for quick messaging right from within the app.\r\nLogMeIn\r\n\r\n\r\nLogMeIn\u00A0lets you control your Mac and/or PC right from your iPad. Handy if you need to get access to something on your home or work machine and it\u2019s nowhere in sight.\r\nSkype\r\nGreat for video conferences or one-on-one calls, Skype has long been a champion of VoIP. Use it in conjunction with QuickVoice to record your calls and have them handy for later review.\r\nAsana Mobile\r\nAsana is a collaborative task management app that, while designed for the iPhone, can be used on the iPad just as easily. (And it\u2019s much improved in its latest iteration.)\r\nAwayFind\r\nIf you don\u2019t want to get every email while you\u2019re using your iPad, using the iOS app for the service AwayFind is a great option.\r\nPages\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you want to stick with a seamless document editing experience across all of your Apple platforms, then Pages is the way to go. The ability to sync documents over iCloud has leveled up the app considerably.\r\nNumbers\r\nMuch like with Pages, Numbers is a great option for spreadsheet manipulation on the go.\r\nKeynote\r\nWith Keynote on your iPad, you can leave the laptop at home and run any presentations right from the iPad.\r\nPrezi Viewer\r\nPrezi Viewer is an alternate presentation/slidedeck app if you\u2019re not into using Keynote. If you want the ability to be platform independent it\u2019s worth a look.\r\nAlarm Clock HD Pro\r\n\r\n\r\nJust in case your smartphone (or the hotel wake-up call) fails you, it\u2019s never a bad idea to have Alarm Clock Pro HD Pro installed on your iPad.\r\nSoulver\r\nSoulver is an incredibly intuitive and unique calculator that allows you to save previous calculations, conduct running totals, and much more.\r\nOmniFocus\r\nOmniFocus is widely considered to be one of the best task management apps for iOS. It\u2019s pricey, but it can be as used as a simple to-do list or as a powerful GTD app.\r\nDragon Dictation\r\nGreat for taking notes or writing lengthy missives, Nuance\u2019s app Dragon Dictation has long been the standardbearer when it comes to dictation.\r\niThoughts HD\r\nWhile there are many mind mapping apps to choose from, I\u2019ve always found iThoughts HD to be the most versatile and pleasant to use.\r\nDue\r\n\r\n\r\nDue is like the iPhone\u2019s Reminders app on steroids. Essential if you need to be reminded of regular tasks, errands, or simple reminders.\r\nDropbox\r\nDropbox is essentially an external drive for your iPad. keep any and all important items in your Dropbox folder for easy access on the go, and your iPad\u2019s usefulness increases significantly.\r\n1Password\r\nAn essential app for the iPad (and for several other platforms as well). Using 1Password allows you to keep any passwords you have synced (via Dropbox or iTunes) stored on the device so that you\u2019re never searching\r\nTextExpander\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile this app can\u2019t interact with every app on your iPad (the Mac version has a leg up on it in that department), TextExpander is a great app that will save you keystrokes \u2013 and time \u2013 while you use your iPad for various functions.\r\nTripIt\r\nI\u2019ve been using the TripIt serivce for the past few years, and being able to have quick access to all of my travel itinerary on my iPad (often needed when filling out customs forms when going abroad) is incredibly handy. Plus, you can check out the seating on your flights to try to better your assignment if you want, and track any travel points programs you have.\r\nDrafts\r\nOne of the newest additions to the iPad (it has been available for the iPhone for some time), Drafts is a great app to capture things quickly \u2013 be it tweets, notes, tasks, or what-have-you. Then when you\u2019re ready, you can move them to a more fitting app (like the aforementioned OmniFocus or Evernote, among others).\r\nGoodReader\r\n\r\n\r\nA powerhouse of an app that allows you to have quick access to documents, PDF files and much more. GoodReader lets users sync documents to Dropbox, and adopt a more paperless lifestyle while on the go.\r\nQuickoffice Pro HD\r\nA truly robust office suite, Quickoffice Pro HD lets you create and edit Microsoft Office documents, spreadsheets, and presentation formats right on the iPad. A better option if you\u2019re in an Office environment than Pages.\r\nPenultimate\r\nThis app is a tremendous handwriting app for the iPad. It features both Dropbox and Evernote integration as well as a slew of other sharing options. If you\u2019re still itching to use a pen and paper while on the go, then give Penultimate a try and you\u2019ll feel a little bit more at home.\r\nPDFPen for iPad\r\nNeed to manipulate a PDF? Want to be able to grab that signature while on the move? Then PDFPen is your best choice.\r\nDaylite 4\r\n\r\n\r\nA high-end CRM manager that has been around on the Mac for some time, Daylite for the iPad is a fully-fledged app, giving you complete project management control right on your iPad (although you will need to have both Daylite and Daylite Server installed on your Mac to use it).\r\nHootSuite\r\nIf you\u2019re into managing all of your social networks, then you can\u2019t do much better than HootSuite. Simply input your HootSuite credentials once you\u2019ve installed the app and you\u2019ll be good to go.\r\n\r\nThere are a number of other apps in the iTunes App Store that you\u2019ll find are perhaps more to your liking, but the point is this: with the advent of\u00A0incredible\u00A0technology in both software and hardware reaching new heights with the iPad, there\u2019s absolutely no reason you can\u2019t run your business from the device."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
