Anyone Use Their iPad At The Office/Work?

[Kaykaykay]

Running into a small issue .... My email works well on the offices wifi but applications like Bloomberg, Reuters etc don't. Assume our proxy server is not letting me go. Through the ports that the iPad utilizes for those applications.

Anyone has any suggestions ?

I use my iPad at work, but I do a lot of my own stuff on it, too, so I would never consider using my work connection to get online.

Don't know about your work, but generally employees are told that anything done online at work is fair game for companies to look at, etc., if they want. Not that they have resources to screen everything, but my privacy is worth more to me than what 3G costs.

I also avoid all public wi-fi, because I have no idea what kind of security they use and don't know who might have access. I do banking, stock trading, private email and online shopping on iPad, among other things. I don't want to risk my financial info, either.

I use it for sales presentations etc, a picture is worth a thousand words and whats better in that aspect than an Ipad.....

Yup! I use it to browse the sites I don't want on the history of my work computer.

True, would not want them snooping... I picked up the MyWi modem / wifi device... Just need to get a 3G sim now.

I use mine for work and it is fantastic. EVERY salesperson out there should have one. All my information and files are right here. I can sign up new accounts and fill out any forms using PDF expert. Love it!

I am a on the road sales Consultant for a blinds company in Melbourne. I travel to Customers homes to sell our products and i used to carry a big brief case around with me that would hold all my folders and books that have prices and photos and pics of our blinds to show the Customers.
Well what I did is I put all those books and prices and pics on my iPad and I had to go out and buy a smaller bag for my iPad and just 2 quote books because I saved so much room in my brief case that it was too big for my iPad.
I use Quick office hd for excel to do my sales reports and iBooks to hold my photos and product information and I use PDF reader to hold all my sales reports and other work related stuff.
I also use it as my every day diary and have all my appointments go straight to the ipad calendar I can now check my emails and stuff online while on the road and I don't have to wait till I get to the office or get home to check it.
Our office IT department had set us up with Citrix on my laptop but they are too lazy to set it up on my iPad , but I thought I can use Citrix from home and my iPad at work, but I just love the iPad that I hardly ever use my laptop now days..

I use my iPad at work. For music, videos, reading books... No, seriously, for lesson planning, meeting notes, showing students apps like Starwalk, GCSE revision guides etc...

Sent from my one and only original iPad using iPF

Hi All,

I have replaced about 75% of my laptop / netbook use with the purchase of my iPad2. Pages, Dropbox and QuickOffice have really helped the transition for me. The only thing I can't do that bugs me is manage parts of my website as some of the control panel needs Flash (grrr) and I develop Filemaker databases which need a Mac or PC. Otherwise I can only say its been revolutionary for me
