Most of the functions and apps on iPad are pretty good in their work and can be made even better by adding another app which is, Pages, the Apple iWork word processing program.

Landscape is better for typing on the iPad. Writing on the touchscreen virtual keyboard of the iPad is an amazing experience. With four times extra battery life, it is a relaxing process now than earlier when a heavier laptop was dragged around everywhere whenever one left for work.
