Ante la boga de las Ipad y mi interés de adquirir una, me pregunté ¿que uso puedo darle a este equipo tan costoso? Porque, tenerla para redes sociales o leer alguna pequeña literatura, no es razonable. Así que, comencé a preguntar en varios foros de Internet. Las respuestas han sido muchas; algunas sugiriendo las que ya había recibido. Aún, no evaluó estas aplicaciones, pero las comparto para beneficio de quien interese usar la tecnología. Según tenga conocimiento de otras, adicionales las añado a la lista.
