Great write up about how Akron Ohio solo attorney Aaron Kelly / Kelly Law Firm uses the iPad in his business, internet and bankruptcy, practice. For me, the key selling point of the iPad is the device itself as it is lightweight (1.5 pounds), portable (fits inside briefcase pocket), easy to use (one button), and [...]

37Signals Products on the iPad for Lawyers
Some words by yours truly about how I use the iPad in my law practice over at the 37Signals product blog. From the 37Signals inventory, I use Backpack and Highrise – both of which are quite serviceable through Safari on the iPad. Certain apps enhance the interface a bit, especially on the iPhone.

Word Processors on iPad for Lawyers: Word Compatibility Shootout (Part II – Pleadings)
This is a follow up to the post I did a couple weeks ago about the Microsoft Word compatible word processing apps for the iPad. In that post, we compared how the different iPad apps handled some basic Word formatting that a lawyer would use in notes, correspondence, memoranda and the like. In this post, [...]
Getting Files into the Cloud from your iPad
I’ve written a lot about the different apps you can use to create and view files on the iPad. I’ve also mentioned Dropbox a ton as a key element in my document storage and retrieval workflow on the iPad, though there are lots of good cloud storage solutions.

Upcoming at Tablet Legal
Hello all. I’m back in business after a bit of hiatus. What started as just an overdose of soccer for the group stage of the World Cup (adding 4-6 hours of soccer to your schedule cuts into blogging time) transformed into a problem with my web host. Got the technical side pretty much cleaned up [...]
What the iPhone 4 Announcement May Mean for the iPad
Lots of great stuff about the iPhone out of Steve Jobs’ keynote at the Worldwide Developers Conference this morning. Almost all of the keynote was dedicated to the new iPhone, though a few data points were shared about the iPad: over two million sold in the first 59 days (that is one every 3 seconds [...]
Upcoming App: Paddock by ManyTricks
Take a look at this video demo of an upcoming app by ManyTricks called Paddock. Though the speed of the iPad minimizes lost efficiency in switching between apps, (say from Safari to Mail), a windowed work environment could prove to be very useful in certain circumstances. I often draft a document or compose an email while [...]
Word Alternatives on iPad: Documents To Go Premium (with a caution)
Just a quick note to point out that DataViz has updated its popular Documents To Go app (and its Premium counterpart) to be universal apps now formatted for the iPhone and the iPad.
