There are a lot of you out there that know and love Google Docs and use it all the time. GoDocs for Google Docs™ on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch allows you to easily interact with your Google Docs library in a meaningful way.

When one of the biggest criticisms of iOS devices is the lack of a familiar file system for storing and accessing documents, services like Google Docs become very useful and important. And they make a lot of sense too, why not store your documents in a manner that makes them accessible anywhere and storage-space independent of your devices?

Back when the original Apple iPad first surfaced, Microsoft decided not to produce an Office version for use on the iPad. Instead, long time MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint users were forced to use Apple’s iWork series – Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. There was no other real option for PC users who were more comfortable using Microsoft’s products.

Now the company has changed its tune, and according to sources at The Daily, Microsoft is hard at work on an iPad version of its Office business offerings.

The tagline for Next! states that ‘It’s a good day to be productive’ and I think that’s a good mantra for us all.

This app intends to be a ‘one-stop-shop’, allowing you to manage projects, take notes and store documents in a central location. The three core functions of the app are:

Actions – Encourages you to break down the things you need to do. You can assign specific or generic dates to each item, allowing you to prioritize. You can leave items in your ‘inbox’ that you haven’t decided how to approach, which can be a nice feature when you know you have a task that needs to be done but you haven’t fully contemplated it yet. As well, you can assign tasks a due date of ‘someday’ for those things that are more abstract or perhaps less important and therefore don’t need a true targeted due date.

WritePad offers something we have all been wanting – handwriting recognition on our iPad and iPhone devices! Using a stylus or your finger, write directly into WritePad to take notes with ease.

This is an app where no bells and whistles were spared. Once you create your document, the results can be used to email, export as a document (in text or PDF format) or print. There is also support for social networking as you can tweet or post to Facebook from directly within the app. Want to sync your documents with others users? Not a problem, WritePad synchronizes with DropBox, Evernote and Google Docs. There is even a built-in HTTP server so you can share your documents directly with other iPhone and iPad devices on the same wireless network.

Hello iPad enthusiasts, this is Colin signing on to the PadGadget page!

Although the iPad has faced its share of criticisms in the word processing department, Totes m’Notes is not your standard, yellow paper notes app. Taking detailed notes is important no matter what your profession, and with the combination of type and draw Totes m’ Notes makes that possible. Using the app is completely intuitive like most good iPad apps, and it takes very little time to get used to the layout of all the controls.

On the main screen the “shelf” can house a series of two sided note folders, one for each subject or project. These folders are customizable enough to stay easily organized without having to open each one. After creating a new folder and choosing the skin, stickers (more please!), and labeling, it is time to customize your notes.

The iPad helps promote lots of ideas across different market segments. One that comes to mind is sketching. Think of it, a sketching app can help people collaborate and bring new ideas to life. Sketching is often an overlooked component in the creative process, especially where any sort of design is concerned. This is exactly what EffectiveUI set out to resolve with their iPad app called Ideate. This is one of the first apps created specifically for your iPad.

The app reproduces sketching in a way that is simple, intuitive and engaging to give as good an experience as possible without a physical pen and paper. The app comes with a large number of starting background objects, called Templates. It also provides a large number of UI-related backgrounds, including a variety of grids and monitor resolutions.
