Did you intend to say you present with your iPad?  

Do you know Explain Everything, a presentation program for the iPad? Looks interesting. When I watch the tutorial, I immediately want an iPad, because it seems to be so easy to create a presentation with Explain Everything. :-)

Is it this one? Incase Origami Workstation ($30). It looks really cool.

Interesting. I did not know that.

If my friend opts for an iPad instead of MacBook Air 11-inch, is there anything I should draw her attention to before she takes the final decision? I have already mentioned that she has no computer, so that she will not be able to make a full backup. -- Aren't iOS apps a closed world? They can not be used on Macs and PCs, and must—as far as I know—be bought in the App Store exclusively. The App Store has no demos, so you buy a pig in a poke.

Can she share apps with other iPad users? Or does an installation have to be managed via the App Store every time?
