So i finally caved in and got one.. trying to use MLS from my cellphone's browser when i'm on the road with a client just proved to be too tedious... they really need to overhaul the mobile phone version website of MLS... browsing metrolist with the ipad is so much easier and effective... battery life on this thing lasts forever and i don't have to charge it for days... My laptop battery would last just a bit more than an hour and i'd have to bring it in and charge it every night... also, you have to always find a place to set down your laptop(which isn't always easy if you're on the road). This thing is just so much more portable and easier to use when you're on the go... you can just hold it with one hand and type on it with the other... anybody else on here use an Ipad??? What apps have you found that make your job easier??? is there an esignature app for this thing? Would be great if I can just have clients sign purchase agreements right after viewing a home without having to drive back to the office... is there a winforms for ipads???

sounds so cool...I want one. But I don't want to fork over the $$ for satellite service. *sigh*

I read an article in the latest Realtor magazine I think that there is a esignature thing for it and you have to buy a little stylus. But it works really well according to the article.

I'm waiting on the Motorola Xoom with Flash.

A lot of new Ipad toys will be available in the new year. I'm looking forward to the blackberry version which I should be able to use with my regular phone service.

I think Apple is going to shoot themselves in the foot by not allowing flash.

You know the Playbook is already out, right?

Likewise, I have the Droid X which can serve as a wifi hotspot. Should be able to access the internet on the Xoom using the high speed data plan already in place on that.

We use our phones ability to turn into a hot spot and connect our ipad through the wireless modem. This way we just pay out phone bills and no satellite fee.

I don't pay extra for service... i just tether it to my cell phone.. I found an app called signmypad that will allow you to sign pdf's... works really good... all the other apps in the app store won't let you edit the pdf files that zipform generates because it's secured but signmypad does... supposedly zipform has an app out to do your forms now too but it seems to of disappeared from the app store...

I don't have an iPad yet, but some realtors are boasting about the power (or "wow" factor anyway) by using it to give listing presentations. There are supposed to be cool apps that help assemble a nice slide deck, and this can be used to make a snazzy listing presentation.

iPAD is a great toy and can be really useful as well. Zillow has a great app and there are a bunch more coming.

Ipad for realtors are great. It helps to find easier the places where do you want to go. An easy access to propective clients and many more.

I think this may be the article you are referring to ColoBroker. The article suggest the esignature app DocuSign, and also mentions that an electronic stylus is needed to use the program.

Hi Kristi (and everyone else!)

I'm An - I do social media for DocuSign and wanted to stop in and say hi.

I also wanted to clarify that you don't need an electronic stylus to use the [url=http://www.docusign.com/blog/2011/01/05/docusignpower-tools-ipad-and-iphone-app-to-send-and-manage-documents-for-signature/]DocuSign for iPad / iPhone app[/url], which is free to all DocuSign subscribers! Click to for more information :)

Let me know if you have any questions!

That was the article I was referring to. I didn't know docusign had such a thing? But then I don't have an ipad so I haven't looked into it.

Docusign do you have an app for the upcoming blackberry playbook? Or one in the works? That's the tablet I'm interested in.

By the way I love Docusign. Now if just everyone would use e-mail and the internet. Also only if certain lenders with foreclosures would accept docusign.

Is this done using the Tether App? I mentioned this to a Future Shop Sales Rep and he said he never heard of such a thing for the IPad?
