My iPad2 should be a arriving in a few weeks, assuming it doesn’t fall victim to production backlogs, Somali pirates, or earthquake/tsunami related delays. In the meantime I’ve been doing some solid Lawyer/iPad bonding and in the process I found this great information at The Mac Lawyer (hat tip). In addition to programs like TrialPad, which I wrote about here, take a look at these productivity-enhancing iPad applications:

• iAnnotate Comments, highlights, bookmarks. Import from Dropbox.
• Penultimate Notetaking app.
• uPad Take notes with zoom. Annotate and export PDF files.
• Dragon Dictation It’s, you know, Dragon. On the iPad.
• iTeleport Secure screen sharing to a PC or Mac.
• Shareboard Up to 4 users can collaborate. Projector-friendly.
• Air Sketch iPad whiteboard; annotate and mark-up PDFs etc.
• Browsing Pad Creates side-screen for notes; export to Evernote.
• Readdle Docs Import, view, and work with documents on the iPad.

I started using the Web the minute it graduated from monochromatic bulletin boards to HTML pages. Of course I was unemployed like 70% of my law school class, so I had time to experiment. Now I’ve got an office, family, demanding clients, and employees to oversee. You might say I’ve grown up a little. But has the Web grown up with me? Almost every website still wants to monopolize my time as if I had nothing better to do but chat, tweet, poke, or whatever. Sure, today’s distractions are Facebook and Twitter instead of Chatrooms and Message Boards, but it’s not that different is it? So when does “.com” turned “Web 2.0″ need to produce something relevant to my life instead of one more way to waste time? Or is the Internet in perpetual adolescence? As unlikely as it sounds, I was hopeful when I spotted this article on Techcrunch – a blog that I really respect (started by an attorney, BTW). But it turns out the piece is mostly about the oncoming wave of information in our future and how Web Apps might deliver the information in a slightly different form.  In short, there is no reason to believe that the Web, or anyone making things for the Web, will deliver anything relevant to real life. So I guess I’m still desperately seeking relevance to come pouring out my browser. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon either.
