Apps are what is needed to make your smartphone smart and unique.Im fond of app creating and find it really helpful to use site like Snappii where i can build apps in minutes.

Of course, if you consider Scrapboooking as “creative”.

When bloggers say that the iPad is not a good creation tool, they mean it doesn’t have Office. That’s what they mean. They want to make spreadsheets and Powerpoint presentations. Of course they don’t know what they are talking about. QuickOffice should satisfy any spreadsheet fan, imo, even those who snub Numbers (which I like).

The “idiots” need to shut up and look around. Jorge Colombo’s covers for The New Yorker. Web code editing while vacationing. Therapy for wounded soldiers at Walter Reed. My first ever edited travel video.

I’m an amateur woodworker of 30 years, I have never found a good software tool in Windows or Apple software for easily laying out and putting dimensions on the furniture I design and build. It’s always too complicated or not thorough enough – until the iPad came along. I now layout all my furniture with iDesign on the iPad, it allows for my creative process to flow freely to the point that I can take it into my shop and build the final product. iPad not good for design, some people really don’t know what they are talking about.

There will always be the idiots who claim that the iPad is useless as a creation device. It might not be capable of creating content or media as well as a notebook or desktop with a full OS, but it certainly is useful for creating some less complicated content. The whole problem is that idiots are very narrow-minded when it comes to accepting anything they don’t quite understand. Guess what? It really doesn’t matter what the idiots think. Apple will continue to sell iPads by the boatload and users with open minds and developers will find some creative uses for them.
