As I go to meetings and offices throughout the college I am seeing more and more I Pads. So how do you use yours? Check email, take notes, check weather, watch videos, play games? Any of these or all of these? Did you know that Blackboard, Centra, Mediasite, Yammer, Twitter and Tegrity all have apps for either your phone or I Pad? Have you checked out ECU’s mobile app download site www.ecu.edu/m ?
Take a moment and share what your favorite app is?
Some popular productivity apps for under $5 are GoodReader (for viewing & annotating various types of files) and Evernote (notetaking and great tool for syncing data), what’s your favorite?
If you use Dropbox.com there is an App for that you can add to your device! And don’t forget when the going gets tough there is always Angry Birds to vent your frustration!
Anyone want to challenge me to a “Words with Friends” game?

Android Phones have Lync 2010 app and the tablets can use OfficeTalk (lite or pro) to connect to our ECU network.
Google Drive has apps I think for iOS devices and this will hold Word, PowerPoint, Excel docs(In Google web format).
Touchdown for Tablets or Smartphones is well worth the $20 to have a full functioning email client with all the features of Outlook (Android).
I am not sure what will be coming with the Microsoft Office for Android and iOS in November but this will be a great tool to bridge the gap and move mobile platforms to a more daily use able format.
