Since ideas can be so fleeting and precious, it’s important to capture them as quickly as possible. With your iPad, you can jot down ideas, notes, or entire letters and reports.

The iPad comes with a Notes app that mimics a yellow notepad so you can type ideas for an upcoming project, a daily to-do list, or a rough draft of a report you need to write later. Once you’ve written some notes on your iPad, you can email them to yourself (or someone else).
