I'm with Amy.....I love my iPad, but haven't tried any kitchen applications. Thanks to all of you, I will look into some of the apps that will allow me to load some of my recipes. It will be nice to have them on hand when I visit friends and family and offer to make dinner. Frankly, I don't know how I survived before I got the iPad....it has become such an integral part of my day to day life, particularly now that I am doing some consulting. I no longer need to carry a laptop. |

Ilene, All my consulting requires a keyboard, so I carry a 2lbs Linux netbook instead. On the other hand, my company is writing iPad software ... for inspection of power-generating windmills, of all things. While I have little use for the iPad as a user, it is very attractive as a software development platform. We used to have to get custom-built tablet PCs for the same purpose. |

I just had lunch with an old friend whose husband is a pilot. She said they are now using ipads in the cockpit (don't ask me details, I would have to answer "pilot stuff"). |

Mary, This was in the news here a while back. You know those big black cases pilots carry? All maps, etc. now replaced electronically on the iPad. Amy |

Fuzzy I find it very easy to type my meeting notes on the built in keyboard. Friends has suggested that I buy an external keyboard, but I really don't need it |

Ilene, It really depends how you type. I'm a 120wpm touch-typist, so I don't even like the Apple-style "chiclet keyboards" (as opposed to "chick-lit keyboards", which are used to key in The Bridges of Madison County). Heck, I've been buying used netbooks instead of new ones in order to get the old 80% full-size keyboards. |

My stepson just got his commercial helicopter pilot's license. They too use iPads in the cockpit. BTW, an easy way to get a few recipes on the iPad is to copy them and paste them into Evernote. I do that for CI test recipes. Sabine from TOBB turned me on to Evernote way back when I got my first iPhone. I have the free version and have not used all the free space yet. Useful too for noting Model #s etc. when shopping for parts or accessories. Josh, I am a fast touch typist as well (earned my living as such for a bit in college) and find it easy to touch type in the built-in keyboard as well. Watching me trying to type a text on the phone is hilarious according to my kids, can't thumb text at all, and to get the right key, I need to aim my fingers to the one next ot it. Reminds me of when I played softball, when if I wanted to throw to second, I'd have to aim at third, though I could place the ball at will when batting , go figure. I had considered getting the cover that comes with a keyboard, but I don't need it. The only thing I do miss is the number keyboard. I do use that all the time when working with numbers, but don't do much of that in the iPad. Quicken still has not gotten it together to work well on macs. |

Good idea. I usually just email it to myself and then put it into igourmet. I do wish you could import into the app. Mary |
