It's online storage that also syncs all your devices. For example when I am at work, I simply put any docs into my dropbox and then I can view them on the iPad. It's also effectively online backup as well. Check it out. Www.Dropbox.com I can't recommend it highly enough. Re: Using an Ipad during the Build 10Jan 18, 2011 1:26 pm I use my iphone for helping with my build. Whilst an ipad would be better for veiwing things in more I find the fact that I always have my iphone on me and it is a little more portable it is great. So far I have used the following features on my iphone. I have all of the documentation stored in files lite including: = plans = contract = specifications = invoices = receipts = selection documentation I will be adding the guide to standards and tolerances onto this list I have the following photos on the phone: = display home photos for comparison with what they are doing = I take progress photos on the iphone and I sometimes transfer other photos onto it = I will also be putting photos of things that I have noticed as errors on to my phone to discuss with the ss I have kept important emails on the phone. I have tried to use the spirit level application to check if walls are straight but a real spirit level is much more reliable. I use Blogpress to update my blog from my iphone I look at homeone from iphone Another thing you could do if you were ** or paranoid is record conversations with your iphone.

Gotta be windows or Android based) Re: Using an Ipad during the Build 13Mar 10, 2011 7:53 pm I had our contract, building plans, elictricals, estate guidelines and all our selections on my iPhone and then iPad from September, it has made all the organization easier. Backup with iTunes and everything on both devices. Even better next month when the iPhone will be able to be used as a wifi device so I can connect to nternet with iPad through the iPhone so less needs to be stored in iBooks I also emailed everything to myself and downloaded in iPad emails ( without deleting from the server) and never deleted the build related emails Re: Using an Ipad during the Build 14Mar 10, 2011 7:59 pm Haven't tried one out myself so I couldn't say - but I've been dying to..

Paul Re: Using an Ipad during the Build 18Mar 11, 2011 12:02 pm You can use it as a surreptitious VOICE RECORDER when conversing with the builder, and use it against them later on when they start denying everything you've talked about verbally. I love dropbox (online storage). All my gadgets, pcs and craptops are synched up to a central location, so I'd never lose any personal data. Even if the house burns down, or hard drive dies, I could still have access to all my data. I never store personal data on disk. Always on the private cloud.
