As an online marketer and blogger most of my work is done online. However I also do a lot of travelling. Now I love travelling. But there are times when I have to wait in long lines or wait for a client for hours. That’s why I thought why not find a way to bring around my work with me? That’s when I finally decided to get an Ipad2.
Before whenever I had to travel I would do double time on my work so that it wouldn’t pile up. Now, I don’t have to. Here are 5 things I like best about my Ipad2.

- Portability: The Ipad2 is small, light and very portable. I can easily fit it in my handbag. Whenever I have to wait for someone I pull it out and get to work. That way I don’t waste any time.
- Sleep Feature: The thing about Windows is that you have to shut it down when not in use in order to conserve battery. And when you switch it on, it takes time to load. This can be a pain in the neck especially when you are in a hurry. The Ipad2, on the other hand, has a sleep feature. When you close the smart cover it automatically sleeps to conserve energy. I especially love the sleep feature because now I don’t have to keep on shutting it down and turning it back up again. Whenever I need to work on something I just pull my Ipad2 out of my bag, flip on the smart cover and get to work.
- GPS system: iPad2 has a GPS system that lets you know where you are all the time. This is beneficial for travelers because this can help you avoid getting lost. It is also a great help in finding the location of certain places that you have to go to.
- Long battery life: Ipad2 has an impressively long battery life. You can go on using it for a maximum of 10 hours. One reason why I love this feature is because its long battery life permits me to use it for hours on end without having to keep on charging.
- Comfortable hold: The Ipad2 maybe all screen but it’s very comfortable to hold and easy to bring around. The smart cover is a welcome plus because I can use it to prop up the Ipad so I can type on it more easily.

Slimness and portability are two criteria I always look in a device. But sometimes price makes me think again!

The biggest problem with Apple Ipad is that is does not support Flash which it really surprising.

Yes. the technology is fairly new so it also has setbacks. However, knowing Apple, they’ll find a way to overcome it

Having such a cool device like this surely help you fight the boring line waiting for your turn. Before when ever I travel I see to it that I have some book that I can read while waiting for my turn. Now that there is some amazing gadget like this one it save me from the bulk of bringing a book.

There are lots of reason why I love my Ipad2. One of them is that I can check my blog sit whenever I go and can even update it specially when I’m just stalling around and waited for some client to call me in there office.

Importing documents from your home computer to your iPad 2 can be very useful if you are someone that constantly needs to transfer files. The process of taking an existing spreadsheet, word document or presentation and uploading it to your device is quite simple. In order to create new documents on your iPad 2, you use a program called Pages; however when you upload a new document, you will need to use iTunes to convert your file so it can be opened using Pages.
