Yes that your heard me, do you think you can run your whole business with nothing but an iPad ? Well we shall soon see! Paul Colligan is going to give it a try. Now if you don’t know Paul, well let me tell you a bit about him. Paul Colligan helps people leverage the technologies of new media to get their message out to more people… Paul also produces a number of Podcasts like Internet Marketing This Week, Marketing Online Live …Paul is also a faculty member at Stompernet.com you can read Paul’s BIO to just get a small taste of what he is involved in. I personally think this is going to be an interesting 30 days with nothing but an iPad and I look forward to seeing what tricks Paul has up his sleeves: ) after it tweaking with Paul for the past few days I think I am starting to get a feel of what he is going to be doing and the apps he is going to be using, for example using the iPad to remotely connect to his PC or Mac (something like LogMeIn). It’s kind of like using your computer just you have to use a small touch screen as screen and keyboard – That’s cool!

Now I personally can’t imagine typing on that iPad keyboard for 30 days so I sure hope one of the tricks is using an app with voice recognition like the app by Dragon Naturally Speaking which may eliminate the need of a keyboard for most cases, I personally use voice recognition on my computer daily, and I even have the application installed on my iPhone 3G and I have to say it works gr8 J.

Paul I know you think the iPad is more than just an overgrown iPhone or iPod touch you don’t have to take my word for it.  I haven’t used an iPad yet but from what I can see that’s pretty much what the iPad is : )

You don’t have to take my word for it:

Thanks for the kind words. Don’t forget, there is a keyboard accessory for the iPad that I intend on purchasing as well. It also runs Bluetooth keyboards – of which I have many b

External keyboards… that’s a good one : ) but there still so many different programs that just won’t roll them on the iPad well of course unless you install Windows 7 on your iPad : ) which I read an article or two about the possibility of that happening – but I’m assuming that’s not one of the tricks you were talking about when he says you have the tricks up your sleeve : ) – wow look forward to seeing how these 30 days on the iPad payout … I’m sure you will learn a lot of cool new tricks and techniques of how to utilize your iPad in very unique ways and I look forward to reading about it.
