iPad/tablet apps

[eamich]

My company is considering purchasing iPads or other tablets for calculations. I have used the Nebo app that comes on the iPad and it seems reasonable. I don't care for the handwriting recognition conversion. I'd love an app that would resemble my old calc pads - one where I could input the job name/number/designer/date and have a screened grid background. And then better handwriting to text conversion where it would do the math instead of me punching it into my calculator. Another bonus would be "calling" frequently used equations and inputting values to have it spit out an answer.

So my question is - does anyone use apps that accomplish any of this? Are there other good apps that you use on a tablet?

Thanks!

Check out this cloud based software. I've heard good things.

Trenno - Skyciv looks interesting. Probably not for me as cloud computing doesn't give me any benefits, and for individual use I find a local program way more convenient, but for someone needing distributed access, and access from pads etc, it looks like just what they need.

Do you know where they are based?

Do you know where they are based?

Doug: Either (or both) of these locations?

I'd say it's definitely the Sydney office but perhaps they have partnered with people from the US?

I met the founder of SkyCiv at the Australasian Structural Engineering Conference last year. Seems like he's built a solid company and is going from strength to strength.
