I have been putting the iPad through its paces. I am turning to it more often to access information like email, rss feeds, and other media. One of the iPad’s unrefined areas is document management and printing. Luckily there is an app for that (sorry I couldn’t resist). GoodReader is a great way to manage apps until Apple figures out a better way to manage it (going through iTunes is just plain silly). It allows you to connect to server file shares, and will even connect to cloud services like google docs and dropbox. The downside is that it downloads a unique copy that would need to be reuploaded (is that even a word). GoodReader allows me to send docs to a shared folder share on my MacBook. This folder, using a Automator action, will automatically print out a copy to my printer. It is a little clunky, but it works for now.
