DropBox<\/a>. This is a web site where I can put some of my files and access them from just about any computer that is connected to the Internet.

If I want to work on a file from any of these, I have to email them to myself or put them on Google Docs or other things.<\/p>\nDropBox is neat in that it works from my iPad and iPhone. I write “it works” in that I can read PDF and docx and pptx and so on files from the iPad and iPhone. Previously, I had to find some type of software that would allow me to read these files from the iPad.\u00a0I really like this feature provided by DropBox.<\/p>\n
I have no doubt that someone could come to me and tell me, “sure, but you could do the same thing using…” Maybe I don’t pay attention to the latest developments in the mobile arena. Still, I am happy to have stumbled onto this one.<\/p>\n
And, here is the part I really like, since I can now print from my iPad, I can pull up a PDF from DropBox via Safari on the iPad and print it. Hey, this iPad is becoming more and more like a real computer. I can read files and print them.<\/p>\n
Next on the list of things to learn how to do: write real documents from the iPad.<\/p>\n
