What are the benefits/limitations in using iPad for sales people?

I've been wanting to know if I could use the iPad to do my sales job instead of having to carry around a Windows laptop. I would obviously still have the laptop and prob would create Powerpoint presentations, Word and Excel docs, but the main use would be Powerpoint and web.
Anyone have any real experience they can share?
Thanks!!

I've used it to display my photographic skills. I've found that it's much less "intrusive" on the potential client.

What are the benefits of buying an iPad 2 with wi-fi, or with 3G when I already have an iPhone 4 with 3G? My plan with was to go for wi-fi and connect to the internet through my iPhone 4. Am I missing out on anything by not getting 3G?

I tried the tethering and hated it. The connection breaks every time I get > 25 feet from it and it's a pain to reestablish the connection. I suppose if I had to choose between breaking connections every now and then or paying another $100 + $25/month I'd do the tethering.
Or just carrying the phone in your pocket? Just saying.....

As Phil said, iPad mini is smaller; for most, it fits in one hand. It also has a better camera, and can take advantage of more software features like Siri.

Do Reason and GB2 work well together? What are the benefits & limitations?

I was reading on the propellerhead web site that GB2 supports Reason. I am completely green on both these programs.
Reason by itself seems pretty neat, and I can see a bunch of areas where Reason will compliment GB2.
Do any of you out there currently use both these programs in conjunction with one another. If so what are your likes and dislikes. Do you have any tips or basic knowledge I should be aware of before diving in?
Thank you.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Edit: oops, posted in wrong thread. hang on.
Alright: so all I use is Reason 3 and GB2. What I love about Reason is that there are soo many Refills out there. I only have about 15 or 20 of them, but I love each one.
I make many different genres of music on my own, including grind, folk, hip-hop, experimental, and some progressive jazz. I always use Reason for drums (not loops, I create the beats myself with the Redrum Computer) and then I'll mix it up between Garageband and Reason with the instruments.
my myspace music has some good examples. "The Green Door" is all Reason except the Star Wars quotes which were added in GB. "38 seconds of test" is just Reason drumming, and then I mic'd my guitar amp, and acoustic guitar in garageband.
Anyway, I think Reason and Garageband work wonderfully together. But then again, I've never used Pro Tools or any of that stuff, so I'm sure someone else could tell you a million reasons why they think another duo is better.

What are the benefits of solid state drives for an iMac

I am thinking of getting a new iMac and would like to know the whys and wherefores of a solid state drive, please. The one that is sold with the iMac is 250 gig. Does that mean it's storage capacity is lower than a normal 1TB hard drive?
The views of anybody who has one would be welcome.
Thanks in anticipation.
Jim (West Riding)

The one that is sold with the iMac is 250 gig. Does that mean it's storage capacity is lower than a normal 1TB hard drive?
Yes! But you can access the stuff faster and of course boot faster. They are quiet, run cool, and have low power consumption.

Wiki or Robohelp - What are the benefits of using a wiki vs publishing projects in robohelp?

What are the benefits of using a wiki vs publishing projects in robohelp? I currently use RH9/RH9 Server and publish multiple SSL. The company is looking to stop using Robohelp and replace our online help authoring tool (RH) with a wiki. Are there any benefits of going to a wiki environment. What RH features/functions that I have today will i not have by having IT import our robohelp files into a wiki?
I know that a wiki is not an authoring tool, but someone must think it is and we'll still have all the functionality of publishing multiple SSLs, reports, etc once in the wiki environment. Any comments - is this the best route?

Hi,
There are many differences. The idea of a wiki is to allow anyone to view and/or edit the content. Depending on the wiki system, you can set access control for viewing and editing.
Wiki's typically have simple syntax (html in a wiki is a serious security risk), allow image embedding, links and attachments. You will need to learn the specific syntax (rather easy, but also very limited).
What will you lose? This depends on the features available in the wiki system as well as the available plugins. A few downsides:
- WYSIWYG editor limited, if at all.
- No snippets
- No variables
- Dropdowns (may be possible through plugins)
- Index
- Styling based on css classes (mostly supported through HTML which is a security concern)
- Only one version of your support system: multiple versions require multiple installations/configurations.
- No searching in attachments.
- No CBT (Though some wiki's allow comments in the wiki code)
- No Word/FrameMaker import.
- You have to create your own CSH calls.
On the upside:
- Most wiki systems are free, even for commercial use.
- The syntax is quite simple, allowing you to quickly write text.
- Wiki's typically offer good support for syntax highlighting.
- They are very easy to set up.
- Most wiki's have plugins to enable comments.
The greatest downside in my opinion is that you always have the latest version of all files. Whenever you update a page, everyone immediately has the latest version. And if you want to create help for a feature that isn't released yet, you will have to use access control to make sure not everyone sees the (unfinished) help for the unreleased feature. With RoboHelp you have a single source that creates a one way output.
We use both RoboHelp and wiki's: RoboHelp for customer help and wiki internally to share knowledge. And sharing knowledge is what wiki's are designed for.

Willam

HT201342 What are the benefits to using @icloud account over @me. account?

Do I need to change over to @icloud account for email and what are the benefits over @me account?

It's not a separate account. It's simply an additional address on your existing account and you can use it or not use it at your own convenience. Your @me.com address will be unaffected.

What are the general effects of using recovery mode, and is it possible for one's data to be backed up on to it afterwards?

My iPad, in my opinion is a great device to have whenever I need to use it for work - mainly using it for creating music. However I feel that it's a bit outdated, and I plan to get a new iPad Air for this holiday season and give this one to my children. That being said, I have stumbled across a weird problem that keeps me from backing my iPad (generation 2) up to my computer. The error in question states that "The iPad is currently owned by another computer." By looking around on the internet, I was able to deduce that one of the ways to solve this problem was to put it in recovery mode to get rid of the 'ownership', and this seems logistical. The problem I'm facing now, is that, after trying to find the answer, I do not know how recovery mode has an impact on all the data stored on my iPad. To clarify the question into three parts:
1) Is there a way to back up files from my iPad and easily retrieve them without the use of iTunes?
2) If not, is there a way to get rid of the 'ownership' of another computer other than recovery mode WITHOUT jailbreaking it?
3) If still no, then what are the effects of putting my iPad into recovery mode, and will all of my songs and data be safe?
Thank you for answering, if possible.

Was the iPad originally set up on a different computer, and hasn't been synced to the one that you are now trying to use ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
(Before trying that you could copy any important files/documents off the iPad so that you have you own backup copy of them e.g. depending upon what the apps support then email them to yourself, use Dropbox, copy them to your computer via your wifi-network.)
You should be able to copy iTunes purchases off the iPad and over to that computer's iTunes via File > Devices Transfer Purchases, but if you have music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) which aren't in that computer's iTunes (and you haven't got a backup to copy them onto it from) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
For recovery mode, that will result in your iPad being put back to factory defaults i.e. all of your content will be removed from it

What are the benefits of 64-bit computing?

What are the benefits of 64-bit computing?
From what I understand, the only benefits are the ability of the OS to address memory ranges beyond 2GB. Or is it 4GB? I can't remember.
Anyway, I have no intention of expanding my Intel MacBook's memory beyond its built-in 2GB RAM.

I think that the ram advantages of 64 bit computers is just a minor issue with most existing Mac computers. The average user today has between 2 to 8 GB's of ram. This amount of ram is easily handled by existing OS's like Leopard.
I believe that the actual benefits for most users will be when the code of their applications is re-written to run in 64 bit code.
From Apples Page on New Technologies: "It can also enable computers to crunch twice the data per clock cycle, which can dramatically speed up numeric calculations and other tasks." And on the same page: "64-bit applications can use more advanced security techniques to fend off malicious code".
http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/
The 'twice the data per clock cycle' will affect all users regardless of how much ram they have or plan to buy for their machines. More data per cycle means more speed. Better security built into the OS is always a plus.
This is why a MBP with a 3GB limit will still want to run a 64 bit application, and my new iMac with an 8GB limit will still benefit from Snow Leopard.
I view all this extra memory abilities as something very far off for Mac users today. Ram prices will have to go down even lower, new machines will have to be bought with new ram management chips, etc.
Meanwhile, most of Apple's applications are currently running in 64 bit even if the Kernal is running at 32 bit, and other companies (like Adobe) should be coming out with 64 bit versions of their applications. Most experts agree that since the Kernal runs very low-level functions, it won't benefit from 64-bit operation near as much as user applications.
The big delays here, are for hardware drivers to work in 64 bit, and also for helper applications like Flash. Apple knew this going into the SL project. It's going to take a year or so until almost all of our programs are upgraded. Meanwhile, both 32 bit and 64 bit programs will run on Snow Leopard.

Acrobat is a program used by a wide variety of users for a even wider number of purposes. So if we simply gave you a feature list, that wouldn't be very helpful.

What are the benefits of losses of convertin HFS+ to journaled?

Hello! Dirung the recovery process converted my HFS+ to HFS+ journaled. Is this good or bad? What are the benefits or losses of journaled?
PS Initially there was a Mountain Lion installed on HFS+ non-nournaled. But upon recovery Lion (10.7) installed and during installation it demanded me to convert partition from HFS+ to HFS+ journaled.

Journaling does not hurt you, it only helps. It makes sure that all file metadata operations are performed on the correct order, and in the event of a crash, power failure, cable pulled out of external drive, etc... that any file metadata changes occuring at the moment will either be properly completed or rolled back so that the file system is correct.
File metadata are time stamps, ownership, permissions, storage allocation, directory entries, etc... Everything except you actual data.
Without journaling, the current huge terabyte sized drives with millions of files on them would require scanning every file looking at every bit of file system metadata after a crash to make sure that the file system integrety was correct before allowing the drive to be mounted for your use.
This full file system check (fsck) can take hours. The journal replay takes seconds.
You WANT the Journal.

RAID: What is it and what are the benefits and How to Setup?

I was wondering what RAID is? How do you set it up? And what are the benefits of having dual hard drives setup in RAID?
I have a powermac G5 (quad 2.5ghz/16gb RAM/80gb SSD & 1tb HD) and I want to setup my SSD and HD in RAID...would that be wise? Thanks guys!

Hi-
One of the best ways to reduce a RAIDs performance is to mix drives.
Mixing dissimilar drive types should be a shortcut to disaster.
I would rethink the drives to use for a RAID.
The most reliable RAID will be from RAID certified hard drives of the same make and capacity.
After that, you get into software RAID vs Hardware RAID, which both have drawbacks, the latter being price due to the required controller cards and external housing needed for all the drives.
Hardware RAID will allow for better performance, and allow for use of a RAID 5 or RAID 6 to build in redundancy to protect in case of a drive failure within the set, without losing the entire set.
A SSD RAID can really offer some blistering speeds.
I think possibly a bit much for a G5.
With software RAID, a two drive RAID 0 as scratch for video or graphics work can greatly increase render performance of those respective softwares.
A two drive boot RAID 0 with 2 WD Velociraptors can increase OS X responsiveness.
All two drive RAIDs suffer from the need for a robust backup, making a third and fourth drive needed to create a RAID 0+1.
