[apple-iphone] Re: Notes and Printing from an iPad 2

 

The real issue is that the iPad is a media consumption device not a creation device. It does not have a true file system that lets you move files you have created, from one application to another easily. This is solved by using a cloud service but it takes a lot more steps to get something done.

It can also be solved by creating .pdf file but this is slow and takes a lot of extra steps.

There is a third solution used by HP. Their printers each have an email address. You can email your file directly to the printer which gets around the Apple limitations. If you think about this solution, HP sends the file to their mail server instead of a cloud storage device.

I know that Quick Office is working on an internal printing application and that would solve my problem someday.

I was hoping that someone might have a solution that was available now. The iPad gives you web access and it seems logical that people might purchase airline tickets or anything else that has a text file output. Unless you have a compatible wireless printer, you are in the same situation.
