30 Days With the iPad: Day 16

The size, weight, battery life, and other attributes of the iPad 2 make it a solid choice for computing on the go, but most of the time I am just sitting at my desk. Today I am going to explore how to set the iPad up at my desk to connect with a monitor and keyboard for everyday use.

Even though my PC is a rather smallish notebook–a Dell XPS M1330–it spends the vast majority of its time pretending to be a desktop. It sits tucked under my desk with three things connected to it: a power cord, an HDMI cable, and a USB hub. That USB hub further connects to the wireless mouse and keyboard, speakers, webcam, scanner, external storage drive(s), and other such things.
