Most important life events or celebrations have something in common. They usually involve sending out invitations and keeping track of who is coming.
In the past, you needed to prepare paper invitations or cards, buy stamps and mail them, wait for a response and/or maybe follow-up with a phone call. In today’s digital world, this process can be easily simplified. The Paperless Post App on iPad

PDF Editors for the iPad

What’s on your iPad Air?
Back in 2001 Apple introduced the iPod with the slogan “1,000 songs in your pocket”. Since then journalists and bloggers have been asking famous (and not so famous) people “What’s on your iPod?”
From music to videos, people would show their iPod content which would in turn be a non-traditional way of taking an X-Ray or disclosing their personality and tastes.
In 2010, Apple introduced the first iPad and by then the question mutated to “What’s on your iPad?”. Given the tablet’s capabilities for Apps, music, videos, video-conferencing, photos, Internet browsing, e-books, file sharing and more, we could say the same question becomes more powerful and meaningful.

What about you my dear reader? Are you an amateur or experienced musician? Have you ever used the iPad to actually produce music?
