3 Alternative Evernote Front Ends For The iPad

December 1, 2012 – 8:45 pm

The combination of Evernote and the iPad is a powerful note taking combination. While the Evernote iPad app is maturing nicely, the Evernote Trunk has some even more powerful note taking apps that use Evernote as their backend. If you frequently take notes and find the performance of the Evernote app underwhelming at times it is time to look at some third party apps that can help raise the bar for Evernote note taking.

The third party apps I profile in this post all require some minor upfront configuration so they can talk to your Evernote account but beyond that, you can fire off notes from them into Evernote at will.

How to implement the data less iPad | TechRepublic

September 26, 2012 – 7:32 pm

Takeaway: Will Kelly offers tips on implementing a data less iPad for maximum corporate iPad security.

Security for corporate-owned iPads is a hot topic right now for many organizations. It can draw fire from all sides, especially if it’s a new mobility initiative and security is a concern. Yaacov Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Harmon.ie, turned me onto the concept of the data less iPad for corporate iPad security. It’s a secure — albeit draconian — method for locking down your corporate iPads. With this approach, no data or corporate information actually resides on the iPad.

Web conferencing with Adobe Connect Mobile for iOS | TechRepublic

September 14, 2012 – 6:27 pm

If you’ve attended a web conference using an iPhone, you may have missed some of the meetings because of poor connectivity and limited mobile features in web conferencing client apps. However, with the release of the Adobe Connect Mobile for iOS app and Adobe Connect 9, you can more reliably attend and even host Adobe Connect web conferences using your iPhone. You can also use the app to augment your web conference and control the Adobe Connect features (just login once from your PC and then your iPhone).

Adobe Connect has several different purchase plans, including the option to pay-per-use. Organizations that use Adobe Connect or regularly interact with customers or partners who use Adobe Connect should definitely take advantage of the free Adobe Connect Mobile for iOS app.

How to use Yammer on your iPhone | TechRepublic

August 28, 2012 – 8:24 pm

Takeaway: Yammer, the enterprise social network, has a capable iPhone app that can help mobile users stay in touch with their coworkers. Will Kelly demonstrates the basics of the Yammer iOS app.

Yammer, the enterprise social network and recent Microsoft acquisition, is actually quite iPhone friendly. The Yammer iOS app lets iPhone users get access to their organization’s enterprise social network, so they can monitor their feed plus send and receive messages from other network members.

One of Yammer’s goals is to replace the email inbox, and the Yammer iOS app helps extend this new breed of social enterprise to mobile users.

Writing with Byword

April 1, 2012 – 1:13 pm

I upgraded to one of the new iPads, which reignited my interest in alternative writing tools. It has been an off and on interest of mine for a while and just because client requirements dictate the tools at my day job doesn’t mean I can’t keep my fingers in other apps. Therefore, I recently decided to check out Byword, a text editor for Mac OSX and iOS, and put it through its paces.

If anything, I think knowing alternative tools has helped with my ability to troubleshoot problems in the tools I use on client projects.

Do.com: Task Management, HTML 5 Goodness & An iPhone App Too

January 30, 2012 – 9:30 pm

I’ve long been a believer in the democratization of project management data and how cloud-based applications can help geographically dispersed project teams collaborate and communicate during projects. read more »

iPad Productivity Project Management

ProjectPlanner HD for iPad

January 23, 2012 – 7:41 pm

When I first thought about enterprise uses for the iPad, project management was at the top of my list. When I first held the device in my hands, I could imagine it replacing many paper based tasks and offering an unprecedented level of mobility for tasks like project management. ProjectPlanner HD for iPad helps fulfill that early of vision of mine for the iPad as a project management tool. While it can be easy to argue that iPad project management apps lack the robustness of mainstream project management applications like Microsoft Project and cloud-based apps like Liquid Planner and Zoho Projects, they do offer the features that the non-PMP ninja PMs should find useful.

Penultimate & Evernote: Finally Together!

January 22, 2012 – 1:07 pm

I’ve been using Penultimate since I first got my iPad. Up until now, I had to email my Penultimate note pads to my Evernote account. The email step in my workflow was fine but I longed for Penultimate to get Evernote integration.

Well, my wish came true because of its last release, Penultimate now includes Evernote integration enabling you to send Penultimate notebooks and pages directly from the app into your Evernote account without workarounds like having to email Penultimate notebooks to your Evernote email address.

Getting Started With Evernote

December 28, 2011 – 9:50 am

I’ve long been better organized electronically than I ever was with dead trees and paper so Evernote was a natural application for me to adapt to organize my notes and research. It has become a go to application of sorts for me because I centralize so much personal, professional, and especially project information within various Evernote notebooks.

Here is a overview of how I made the move into Evernote:

My Review Of Adobe Reader for iOS

November 6, 2011 – 2:25 pm

I am always on the lookout for a better Adobe Acrobat PDF reader for my iPad so the recent launch of the free Adobe Reader for iOS really caught my eye. It also works on the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPod Touch. Considering the tense relationship that Adobe must have with Apple, they are not ignoring the iOS platform by any means, which is good for users.

The Getting Started Guide that ships with the Reader is well conceived and walks you through how to interact with PDF documents using this new reader app. In fact, I encourage technical writers with an interest in documentation for mobile apps to check out Adobe Reader for iOS for the Getting Started Guide because it shows what can be done with mobile app documentation.
