Since David literally wrote the book on using your iPad for work I figured this was a perfect opportunity to discuss using your iPad to get more work done.

A personal note:
This show was recorded just a day prior to the announcement of Steve Jobs death. I was extremely sadden to hear the news and debated on what to do about this episode. In the end I decided to release it as is with a special introduction. I think the best way to honor Steve and his legacy is to continue to use the amazing things he gave use to make our dent in the universe. The Maccast may be more like a ding, but I plan to continue to do just that.

Thank you Steve, we miss you already. apple.com/stevejobs

When Apple released the latest version of Final Cut Pro they created quite an impact although it may or may not have been the one they wanted.
