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.
Lista de aplicaciones para Ipad o Iphone que pueden ser
útiles en inspecciones y auditorias de seguridad y salud ocupacionales:
