My Eye-Fi is called the Pro X2. There are other models, but this particular one said “Ad hoc networking” on the package.

Of course a laptop would be better (debatable) but how do you NOT love an ipad?

I admit that i still tote my thinkpad with me all the time, but for quick things I like to use the ipad and want to have all my stuff at my finger tips. I signed up for SugarSync through their special offer and got nearly 3X the free storage of dropbox. Here’s the link http://bit.ly/SugarSync500MBBonus

They have an ipad/iphone/bberry/android app of course, but you cant beat the plain simplicity of it. Also, they just released a push to mobile device option, which works the way it should.

For use of some USB mics that require too much power than the iPad can give, a little trick: Connect the USB mic to an AC-powered USB hub (with nothing else plugged in) and then connect to the iPad!

It adds a top line of keys that allows you to jump to the next/previous word, get at much-used punctuation and keys that move the cursor one space forward/back. Small tweaks but makes typing so much better.

When the emphasis is mobility, one device beats four.

I use news aggregator apps like Zite and Pulse to help stay on top of the mobile industry. These apps are great “lean back” apps – something I couldn’t do comfortably on a laptop.

I also use Evernote but often found it too big for simple information storage so I use something called Day One – works on the iPad, iPhone and Mac OS.

For writing I use iA Writer. It has a KILLER keyboard mod that makes it a joy to use the virtual keyboard.

I’ve left my notepad behind because of the iPad and now couldn’t do what I do without it.
