Return to the iPad

It's been a challenge as I've explored the possibility of moving from a MacBook to the iPad. I find myself wanting to move to the iPad for all my computing needs, and constantly frustrated by the limitation of the software. Apple still needs to release a version of iWeb to enable me to truly shift since my main site is authored in iWeb and I like it. However, two pieces of software have provided a little light at the end of the tunnel. The first is I changed from QuickOffice to Pages. QuickOffice, while cheap and functional can best be described as "cheap and functional." It is WAY too limited to be used effectively as a word processor. Second,I found Atomic Web. Atomic Web is a $.99 web browser. Among other things, it allows you to "fake" the browser id. In other words, I can make Blogger believe I'm working from Safari on my MacBook even though I'm really working from the iPad. This is important because Blogger won't allow access to a number of features on mobile browsers. It's not a perfect solution, but it's helped with some of the issues I've had.

So, here we go again. The iPad experiment is back on. We'll see how it goes...
