I have been trying out the iPad as a real work device for a couple of days with a concentration on writing and the use of FTP. To push this a bit more I also tried the app on the iphone.

To be a little more precise I am trying iFTP Pro in a taxi on my way to work having just picked up the Mac from iServe in Amarin Plaza, Bangkok. My typing is as slow as the taxi is fast through the traffic. We may arrive before I am finished.

A major problem here is the available screen size on top of the file switching that occurs. Nonetheless with a quick cut and paste I can bring in some code and this will link to a photo I took.

Now for the upload to show that it can be done.
