When the first iPad many people wanted to buy the revolutionary new Apple device, but most could not find an excuse to do beyond being a fad. However, the iPhone has changed since then, and not just physically. Changes to IOS and the growth of the App Store have facilitated the metamorphosis of the iPhone in a device suitable for work and to enhance creativity.
Hardware and Accessories
It can be easy to dismiss the iPhone as an effective writing tool, given that the touchpad is not very comfortable and although responsive, if we have to write a lot may not be enough. But thanks to some accessories and the use of Bluetooth, pairing a physical keyboard with the iPhone could not be easier, and the results are very good.
Among the most purchased accessories we can find the covers, as the latest model of Apple, Smart Case , wireless keyboards and perhaps a stylus to make notes directly on the screen. If you have an iMac, you can use the wireless keyboard of the iMac on the iPad.
Writing is a basic task for any profession, so if we want the iPhone completely replace the laptop, this task must be at least comparable to the experience of writing on a computer. With the large number of keyboard shortcuts is available from IOS that is certainly possible. The standard keys to cut, copy and paste are obviously useful, but for writers the possibility of more complex keyboard shortcuts is what makes the iPhone just as effective writing, research and editing of what a computer .
However, for best results, the IPAD requires the use of some special applications, many of which make your work much easier.
Harness the power of the App Store
As IOS has grown, so has the quality and depth of the App Store. Currently there are an unprecedented amount of creativity and productivity applications available, much cheaper than any Mac or PC software. Of course, applications for IOS are not as rich in features as traditional programs, but they are quite prepared for the job. Let's explore some applications that can help us decide to use our iPhone as a primary device for the job.
Word Processing and Organization
Are you a journalist? Author? Blogger? If so, the iPhone is perfectly suited to your needs. Along with the hardware configuration described above, there are dozens of applications available to simplify your work and perhaps to boost your concentration. One of the best text editors byword, a good application for writers who use the iPad. Byword supports multiple formats including Markdown, which enables faster composition and the ability to export HTML to WordPress.
In terms of organization, we have hundreds of applications available on the App Store. Could highlight Wunderlist HD, an application where we can set deadlines for our work. Using push notifications and email, Wunderlist HD helps you keep track of projects and synchronizes with the iPhone to keep up to date wherever you go. Another application to make available for planning and research projects is Outliner.
If you are bloggers will agree with me that the experience offered by the official WordPress application was not at all satisfactory. At least for me it was cumbersome and not very functional. Since the iPhone does not have a usable file system was not possible to upload pictures to the website, which is essential to maintain a blog. However, with the last update, the application has become much more stable and at least allows you to upload images directly from the reel. We can also edit their size easily and reliably. Although it takes a little scary when we have to publish a long post with images re-sized, improvements have allowed not 100% necessary whenever a computer.
Do not live in the writing? No problem
I admit it is easier to recommend the iPad as a work device to another writer who works on something that requires a little more power, for example, a photographer. But that does not mean that the latter can not work with an iPad. A wide range of productivity applications available for these professionals that can serve as an ideal replacement for your laptop, such as iPhoto and iMovie for video. But perhaps one of the main applications for photo editing is Snapseed iPad. This application allows you to quickly implement improvements and modifications to any image and then store them on reel iPad. You also have the option to share the edited image via email.
Surprisingly, the iPhone is beginning to emerge as device programmers. Currently there are several applications available for the programming, such as Textastic. Another application Diet Coda, allow you to write code on a Mac or iPhone and see a live preview on the other device. The capabilities of the iPad does not end here, far from it. We have applications like Numbers, Keynote, Pages with Filemaker or you can make presentations, spreadsheets, databases and professional documents on your iPhone.
Two more things
The best features of iPhone are ahead. First, most applications developed for IOS incorporate cloud services like Dropbox or icloud, two extra services. Icloud performs automatic backups of your iPhone documents, ensuring the safety of your valuable documents and data critics. Dropbox also the document is updated instantly as you type, which means you can continue where you left off on the iPad, iPhone or Mac
Getting the most out of Dropbox requires native application for iPhone OS, available for free. This gives access to every file saved in the Dropbox folder on your Mac or PC, and therefore can act as a substitute for a file system on the iPad. Can open almost any file format in Dropbox to read or send the file to Evernote for editing, for example.
Second, the need a wireless laptop to connect to the internet (unless we bring a USB stick to connect), which if we have the iPhone 4G will not have nothing to fear. In addition, from 6 IOS can to make FaceTime calls with mobile connection, so we no longer have an excuse to miss an important meeting.
So what serves the iPad to work?
Depends on the needs of each person. In most cases I think we could say yes. That's the advantage of the iPhone, you can do whatever you want with it. In the App Store have all kinds of tools that are waiting to be used. If you're a writer certainly can replace your laptop perfectly.
The bottom line is, do not be afraid to experiment, give it a try to your iPhone.
How do you see? Do you use the iPhone to work as a replacement laptop?
