Update for those who use Invoice 2 go, there is now a Mac desktop version available, which syncs with mobile devices.
It means that everything is backed up and any changes made on one device are updated on your other devices.
Great for putting together invoices etc for year end as you can print off reports etc. - particularly good if you do not have a wireless printer that works with the iPad
Promised a review of the ipad 3 (my wife's not mine )
It is outstanding, the photo and video quality is first class. We have a 4 year old Sony HD camcorder and the iPad video quality is streets ahead of it.
The retina display is something to behold - Flipboard is stunning.
I am now starting to hope that my iPad 1 suffers a terrible mishap soon !

I haven't committed to invoice 2 go yet, I'm still unsure about it. Is it available for PC?
I'm on my second iPad 3. The frost had a hardware problem that made it crash all the time.

Hi
Yes it has always been available for windows, but strangely for an iPad app the Mac desktop version has only been available for 11 days - not that I have been counting.

Hi
Ipad's definately better than the laptop I used to use as you don't have to wait for it to boot up and the screen quality is brilliant. I use the ipad 2 and might even go the ipad 3 if I can afford it. With the 3g bit I access boiler manuals from the goto gas docs site so I don't have to download them.
Thought about the printer but it seems best to just send the documents over email.

I hope you're claiming that under contractor expenses?
Amazing what you can claim for on behalf of your 'business'.:lol:

The wife is getting an Ipad 3 on Saturday, so will have a spare Ipad 1, I use a macbook pro at the mo which is a bit big.
How can you transfer templates from my macbook to the Ipad?
Might be a silly question but i just dont get it.:blush2:

My 1 year old, yes 1, has her own iPhone 3GS & watches movies on it & plays baby apps (no sim in it).
My 4 year old has his own iPod touch which he got at Xmas to keep him off the Mrs iPhone 4 & he also uses her iPad for gaming & YouTube. He's literally taught himself to read & write with it.
My 10 year old has his own iPod touch & uses my iPad for gaming etc.
I have the Griffen case for my iPhone & had one on the iPad but wanted rid of my wallet & wanted somewhere to store everything I needed so got the happy owl wallet imported. Well worth the money! Here's mine -
Normally has invoice books in it also but there in the van
where did you get the case from i need one for my new ipad that am about to go get for my birthday tomorrow 🙂)))))))))))

Apple iPad 3 Advanced Pro® Multi-Function Case Luxury: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
Let me know if you fina a decent app for gas safety inspections, invoicing ect.

Eph I love you been looking for something just like that and it's freeeeeeeeee you are my new best friend

Barry98
Ok not free but looks worth the activation costs
Its a fee for the software then about £40 a year, i spend more than double that on pads easily plus you get reminders, more professional certs and can easily give copies etc.
Got sick of having loads of pads in the van and hundreds of fading certs in the office.
