I've thought of a possible app which would make me want an iPad.

It would involve a stylus - and I gather the point of the iPad is not to have the stylus - but I don't care. I don't want any old tablet computer, I want an iPad! Then my iPhone, my iPad, and my Macbook could all hang out and feel all appley...


Anyway. Imaginary app:
You open a pdf document.
And you get your stylus, and make handwritten notes all over the document.
And the iPad creates a new pdf, with the original document AND all your notes in red.
So you can print out a red-pencilled edit of the whole thing, or just email it to someone.

Wouldn't that be useful? We could call it iEdit!


Oh please tell me it exists...

Ooh. :o
That would be very nice. I am currently unhappy with iPads (because the one I had to use at work, to test a particular piece of software, was a Big Pain - so big I have to use arbitrary caps to show how big a pain it was) but that might make it worthwhile.

Holy parentheticals, Batman.

You know this exists, right? :D It's called PDF Expert, and you can totally get a stylus (Apple just doesn't make them). The cheapest and lightest is by Pogo, but there are some pretty neat ones out there.

I use it for my grad school articles all the time. It even syncs with Dropbox!

I'm an Apple fangirl, I just only let my Buffy fangirl out on LJ. My iMac, iPad and iPhone all hang about with my Kindle regularly. ;)

Thinkgeek have the stylii, and they are common on Ebay. I think Anita has one if you want a look first. Usually cheap.
