Yesterday I was chatting briefly with some-one I’ve known on social media for a few years now, Jim Connolly. As a result of that conversation I said I’d do a photo of my current iPad setup.
The iPad is my main computing device. Except when I need to code, I can do pretty much everything else I need to do on my iPad. This blog is exclusively written on the iPad or iPhone.
My current setup is as follows:
- iPad Pro 12.9″ 2nd Gen
- Apple Pencil
- UGreen Tablet Stand
- JETech Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard
- Lamicall Adjustable iPad Stand
- HooToo wireless hard drive companion, wireless router, battery extender, access point
- FiFine USB Condenser Microphone (not shown)
- Snugg iPad case
I have 2 stands because the UGreen one (the white one) fits better in the bag that I take to work. While the metal Lamicall (which I prefer because of the height) stays at home and is used there (unless I go away then it gets put in the suitcase).
For the record the rest of my blogging makes use of an iPhone 6S, gorilla pod, a cheap tripod, and a phone holder mount that allows me to securely attach my iPhone to the tripod (it’s more robust than the flimsy one that comes with the gorilla pod).
I suppose folks might like to know what my apps are that I use the most when writing this blog.
- wordpress app (naturally)
- Pixelmator
- LiveCollage+
- Diptic
- Percolator (for obscuring peoples faces)
Here are some of my other favourite apps:
- GoodNotes
- iThoughts
- Kindle/iBooks
- MS Office Apps
- Dropbox
- Outliner
I hope that has been of interest to folks.
