IPad

[ICE]

I have just begun to use an IPad as part of my job. I see a huge potential. I would like to hear from you if you have experience with, or ideas that will help me.

Thanks,

Pretty good discussion over in LinkedIn on the NFPA section:

Love my iPad...using it right now!!

I use the Ipad for storing pictures.....pdf files, an app lets me do word search in a file, installation instructions on all sorts of items, a complete Simpson catalog....I can send a workman under a house with a camera, load the pictures in the IPad and see what's up.....the pictures work great when a customer calls or shows up at the counter.....There are apps for elec. that include motor calcs to conduit fill....no current codes yet and we amend the code so I am waiting for the powers that be to see the light.

I like the box fill calculator, Google translate and unit conversion apps especially.

Is anyone using the Ipad for inspection reports or tracking?

WOrks really well if you downlload a lot of the apps. Search for ones that you might find useful. Theres an app for everything
