Ipad, my 43 favorite applications

 

Playing, playing with this tablet I propose to stop using the laptop at the beginning of next year. My uncertainty if this will really be possible has led me to look for the basic tools that replace what I do -And stopped doing- in my routine.

Ipad apps main

It is interesting the model of operation of Apple with These tablets, as the applications are downloaded or purchased, and you can easily know that there are updates. The synchronization is clean, the system detects if there are applications that have not been transferred to the tablet and before updating new changes it makes a backup just in case.

The purchase is practical, you have to register in AppleStore, you just have to search for them by keyword or subject and you just have to download and accept the debit. Once purchased, when you want to download them from another computer, you recognize that they have already been paid and the credit card is not charged again.

Here I leave the best I have found:

In total 43, of the 27 that he had included in the original list, only 18 of them are paid, which add up to a little more than 100 dollars. Although the discomfort of working with a keyboard that does not adapt to the fingers seems to be the most complex and it will probably end up spending me on hardware rather than software.

Over time, I have found GIS Kit, in my opinion the best GIS / GPS development for iPad. I have also found Keyboard shortcuts, Capture the screen, ways to Transfer data To the PC,

 

… I forgot… Happy Easter!
