[Hidden-tech] IPad file transfer

[Joel Mollison]

Hello fellow techies,

I have a client who is interested in moving to using an IPad 2 for some of his work.  He travels frequently and spends many hours on a plane.  He is considering purchasing a dock/keyboard for the IPad so he can write (MS Word) wherever he is in tight space.  He would also like to use the IPad for presentations and hooking it to an external monitor and using PowerPoint.

I wanted to know if anyone is currently doing this and if there are any drawbacks,issues (other than the small keyboard size)?    My biggest concern is data transfer to and from the IPad.  I know that you can use Itunes to transfer data but I was curious as to what other folks out there are using.  My research on the web has turned up that there seems to be some drawbacks to various forms of transfer.  I'm looking for thoughts and suggestions.

I was thinking about ICloud.  Can anyone comment on this service?  


Thank you all,


Joel Mollison, President
