Web design company looking for iPad app to display my portfolio at a trade show

I run a small web development business and have my first trade show coming up. I'll have a booth setup and was hoping to have my iPad out on the table for people to pick up and scroll through my portoflio (ie web designs, logo concepts, etc.). I've seen this app:
Portfolio for iPad
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/portfolio-for-ipad/id384210950?mt=8
which looks great but I was wondering if anyone else had other options. I like the idea that the above app allows you to lock the device so that users can only scroll through the portfolio and need a PIN to do anything else.
I don't have much experience with the iPad as I just got it and I don't do any app development. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Locking the iPad so that a user can't exit an app isn't possible for any developer to implement, since the developer kit doesn't provide that sort of access to the low-level routines in iOS. The only way to lock into a single app is to use a case/frame that covers the Home button (and turn off the gesture support in the settings in iOS 5). A number of companies make kiosk mounts for this purpose.
Regards.

Looking for iPad App for displaying photos via a projector

I'm looking for an App that will allow me to display photos using a projector yet permit manual advancing through the slides.
The included Photo app only works with the projector when in slideshow mode. As soon as I try to manually advance a photo the projector output stops.
I've seen references to Keynote but I'd rather not have to import 'x' number of photos into Keynote to be able to display them. I'm not convinced Keynote will do what I want anyway.
There's got to be an app out there somewhere that does this. Isn't there?
Thanks.

Looking for an app to display contents of unmounted volumes?

Posting here in SL because that's the OS I'm using on this computer. MacPro 1,1. OS 10.6.8, 10 gig.
I'm doing a major backup of my personal media RAIDset...about 8 TB of home videos, movies, and stuff I want to keep forever.
Ultimately, the backup drives will be taken over to a video house and dumped to LTO tape. Each tape comfortably holds about 1.75 TB, so I'm splitting the 8TB from the RAID across 5 2TB drives.
Here's the problem...I can't mount all 5 backup drives at once, and so I'd like to find some sort of app which can take a snapshot of the volume catalog..basically, I'd like to have the finder window for each volume available, even when the drive isn't mounted. This way, I could see what files I've copied to what drive, without having to mount and unmount drives constantly, just to check what's on each.
Anything like this around? The closest I can get currently is a utility called WhatSize, which creates a column view of a volume, which I can then screen grab. However, I'd like something that behaves like a folder window, with the files and folders available interactively (eg, I can click on a disclosure triangle and see the files/folders within).

Put the text into the AppleScript variable the_text, create a folder named destfolder on the desktop, and run the following:
set target_folder_depth to 0
tell application "Finder"
set target_folder to folder "destfolder" of desktop
repeat with this_paragraph from 2 to (count paragraphs of the_text)
set this_folder_depth to 0
set paragraph_text to paragraph this_paragraph of the_text
repeat
if item 1 of paragraph_text is tab then
set this_folder_depth to this_folder_depth + 1
set paragraph_text to items 2 thru -1 of paragraph_text as string
else
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
if this_folder_depth < target_folder_depth then
repeat (target_folder_depth - this_folder_depth) times
set target_folder to parent of target_folder
end repeat
set target_folder_depth to this_folder_depth
end if
if paragraph_text ends with ":" then
set target_folder to (make new folder at target_folder with properties {name:items 1 thru -2 of paragraph_text as string})
set target_folder_depth to this_folder_depth + 1
else
make new file at target_folder with properties {name:paragraph_text}
end if
end repeat
end tell

I'm looking for an app that will allow a presenter to give ipads to several other users in a room and control what's on display for the group

please let me know if you know of any good apps to sync up several ipads in a room with one person in control. I'm looking for an app that will allow a presenter to control what's on display for several other ipad users in a room. I'd like to be able to do presentations over the ipad, but i want the presenter to control the screens so folks in the meetings don't get distracted by playing with the ipad. i'd like to avoid using a web meeting service and do this without having to connect to any kind of network since i'll often be doing this outside of my office.

Try http://mysyncpad.com/. I'm not sure if it will do all you need, but it's the closest I've seen.

I have the free version of this app that limits you to a 5MB file, but it does work. It requires iOS 3.1. I'm not sure how well the paid version works or what the limitations are.

You can't add fonts to an iOS device.

Requires each device/user have an unique Apple ID(verifiable email address):

Otherwise you can use Find My Phone, but requires logging in for each separate user. Find My Friends(built by Apple) will show everyone's location on one device.

I just downloaded "FastContact" for free but its too slow while searching. After more research I saw "ABContacts" but don't want to pay $5 for something I may not be looking for.
Any suggestions?

The only thing available to you is the restrictiions section in settings. Due to sandboxing, apps cannot interoperate with other apps except for sending data files from one app to another if allowed. There is no app that will help you.

I teach neuroanatomy and am looking for an app that would allow me to use a stylus on the iPad to label a wordforMac or powerpoint document. Any suggestions?

Help needed: I teach neuroanatomy and am looking for an app that would allow me to use a stylus on the iPad screen to label diagrams in wordforMac or powerpoint format. Any suggestions?

I don't believe it will open a Word document, but Writepad allows for handwritten conversion of notes to text and then to email. Might help you some of the way...

I'm looking for an app that will allow me to upload my contracts and forms to my iPad, fill in a customer's personal information, sign them, save them and email them.

I'm looking for an app that will allow me to upload my contracts and forms to my iPad, fill in a customer's personal information, sign them, save them and email them. I looked at easySign, Filemaker, FM Touch, Sign Docs, Zosh, Exzact, Mi-Co

FormConnect (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/formconnect/id432653695?mt=8&ls=1) can handle the filling out, signing, saving and emailing the contracts/forms but uploading the contract and the form is going to be a challenge because you’re dealing with paper documents that have to be scanned. If you can convert the scanned documents into an OCR program, you might be able to copy and paste the contract without having to retype it but the form itself is probably going to have to be recreated. Alternatively, you could use a document annotation program such as iAnnotate and mark up the contract with ink.

Elderly women who is partially blind looking for an app to read bills

does anyone know of an app that runs on an iPad that will read bills etc .... my friend is in her late 70's and can read larger print items but can't read her bills

I had some other things to say in that post above but when I edited it, I think I took too long. So I'm just going to repost my edits here, and you can get my words twice! This one here has things like the link to a webpage describing the app, knfbreader.com.
============= EDITED TEXT FOLLOWS! ==============
Cassidhe, and others who have visual limitations, pay attention here: GET THE "KNFB READER" APP!
If you are looking for an app that can read to you or someone you know, and it's not something that's digital (so like, paper bills or prescription medication bottles or a can of food or what have you): get the app KNFB Reader. It will run on an iPad, and it will ALSO run on an iPod, which is SMALL and something someone can CARRY with them very easily. (When in public, bring a little set of headphones for privacy and so you don't bother others!)
The KNFB Reader app has a great history helping totally blind and partially sighted people. It started about ten years ago as a camera strapped to a PDA device, later it became a phone, and now the software has been put into an app for both Apple and Android devices. Those other products used to cost over a thousand dollars, this app is $99. I realize $99 may seem a lot for an app but we are talking independence and freedom here, I cannot stress how this is for a person, they can view these things privately and is way better than that other garbage that's out there and pretends to read stuff and then doesn't. You might not understand if you're not a blind person. You need the thing to work as much as possible. KNFB Reader isn't perfect, nothing is, but I don't think anything can beat it. And for $99? You get what you pay for: I've used it to read everything from canned ingredient lists to menus in restaurants. It's the real thing.
I do not represent KNFB Reading technologies (but they make VERY helpful software for the blind, like Blio, the eBook app and store packed with blind navigable eBooks, get that thing after getting the KNFB Reader). What is different about KNFB Reader is that it has gone through far more testing than any reading app you will find, ever. It's got a huge customer base for reading apps. And unlike the others it can read things like the label on a bottle of medication because it's designed to read curved items (where letters are different sizes when you take the picture). It's also nearly instant, and has a button that will tell you how much of a page it currently sees (called field report I think). It will tell you things like "the top and bottom edges are visible" (of the page), so you know to reposition your device to try taking the picture again. The other button takes the picture and viola! It's done and it starts speaking right away.
The K in KNFB Reader stands for Kurzweil, as in Ray Kurzweil, the man who made the first reading machine in the 1970s. It's his project. The NFB of KNFB stands for the National Federation of the Blind, which doesn't have anything to do with the current company, but it's an organization made up of blind people that do all kinds of things for blind people, in this case, helped get this company off the ground.
So go and get the KNFB READER and start taking some snapshots of the paper bills or ATM screens or whatever and it will read all kinds of things! Some things it won't with or might have trouble with but keep at it -- and you never know what you could have it read: television screens, street signs, all kinds of crazy things!
Here's a web page that tells you all about it!

Need an app to edit and sign word documents (sign with stylus)! Notability let's me sign but doesn't pull up letter head, quickofficepro let's me edit but not sign. Looking for an app that does both

I am looking for an app where I can edit word documents as well as sign them. I am a physical therapist whose looking to cut down on paper work. Someone types my evaluations and then we print them out for me to edit by hand and then they go back and make the corrections on the computer then w print them and sign them to send off. Recently I have begun using apps where I can pull up the document and edit it thru quickofficepro or through cloudon, but I cannot sign them using a stylus pen. I also have notability which I can use to sign the documents, but it doesn't save the document as a doc, it's either a PDF or rtf. Also, in notability, it doesn't pull up the letter head for our company which is a template with our logo on it. So I need an app where I can both edit and sign my documents by hand using a stylus. If someone could provide me with any relevant information I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

Hi,
Pages for Mac OS X, the topic discussed in this community won't do it.
I think you'll have a better chance for a useful answer in either the Using iPad or the iPad in the Enterprise community.

Looking for a app that will go out and get all my credit card balances.

I am looking for a App that can go on all the web sites for my Credit Cards and download the balance Interest Rate Payment.....
Anyone know of a good one?

I recommend that instead of working on an iPad application you get a good web programmer in and set up a web-facing system that can be used from anything with a web browser -- an iPad, a smartphone, a laptop or a desktop. Then your employees can access the system from any computer with a web browser, and you don't need to employ an expensive specialist programmer to produce a system which is useless for devices made by other manufacturers. The only requirement for use will be that your devices must in range of either WiFi or a phone signal.
It will also mean that if you need to change your software at any time you only have to change one copy, back at headquarters, rather than update an App on every individual iPad.
Apple's web browsers (including the ones built into iDevices) allow a web site to request the user's location, so people using an iPad should be able to do the things you have asked for.
