Will Howarth, Professor Emeritus of English at Princeton, spoke to a large
Lunch 'n Learn audience on February 16 about how he uses his iPad as an
essential companion to reading, writing, research and travel.

.

Howarth's talk was divided into eight general categories of iPad
applications. Reference tools, Database applications for storing and
organizing, Readers for books and periodicals, Note-taking tools,
Notebooks that sync files between applications, tools for working with PDF
files, Storage on Cloud servers, and a Productivity suite with familiar
office tools, formed the outline of Howarth's talk. Each of these
categories is discussed separately below.

.

Reference tools:

.

Safari

.

Safari (included with the iPad) is the browser included on all machines
using the Apple iOS. Safari on mobile devices can be customized for fast
browsing, for bookmarking popular destinations, and customized to take
advantage of the highly portable nature of the iPad. Howarth demonstrated
how he has tailored his particular Safari toolbar so that he has research
tools, particularly remote access to scholarly research collections
including Princeton's Library, available at his fingertips. Among the
headings in Howarth's customized list of bookmarks are Reference tools,
Authors, and Libraries.

.

Wikipanion

.

Wikipanion (free in the app store) is a tool designed to optimize
searching, navigation, and display of entries in Wikipedia. The tool's
graphical display of a Wikipedia entry includes a sidebar outline of main
headings in a Wikipedia entry to facilitate navigation and exploration, as
well as contextual links to related topics.

.

Google Earth

.

Google Earth (free in the app store) is a portable version of the popular
desktop application, made even more stunning by the iPad's high resolution
screen. The application includes all of the features and imagery of the
desktop version, with the added ability to find your own location on the
globe using the built-in GPS features of the iPad. A good companion to
travel, Google Earth, like Google Maps (included with the iPad) can help
to find local landmarks, businesses and cultural locations.

.

National Geographic World Atlas

.

The National Geographic World Atlas ($1.99 in the app store) is another
application for maps, this time featuring high-resolution images of
National Geographic's own distinctive cartography. The app features 3
different styles of maps, and can be zoomed down to the granularity of a
satellite image focusing on a particular street or building. (Street-level
maps are drawn from Bing satellite imagery.)
