Sign-up form for IPad

[mfuentespress]

Hi All,

Recently our office bought an IPad which will showcase e-books at various exhibits throughout the year. I'm very new to the IPad so I am still trying to figure it out. My dilemma is that we need a basic form or (excel like) spreadsheet where conference attendees can type in their contact details. I've researched through this forum and note that Numbers and HandBase are quite popular, but before I buy I want to ensure that this app can be used w/o internet access. Also that the information/contact details can easily be transferred to a computer (in our case a Mac).

We don't want to host a form on the web, as that will be too intensive for what we are trying to do. Any suggestions?

We have Google Docs set up when we have internet access but we need something that works when we don't. Please help!!

Thanks

Numbers will do well enough for this. It even has the ability to create and use a form to enter new data, instead of entering it directly on the spreadsheet.

Why not just use the resident "Contacts" app on the iPad? You could have your business associates add all their information right to the app. There's room for names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail adresses, etc.

A pain to export though, unless you are syncing with another service. Even then, depends on who you are syncing with.
