My Ipad is used a few ways but I'm not sure I would say that it stream lines work at all more then if I just used a laptop with similar battery life.

I use a network of laptops in my office each with its' own use so it can be a bitch when working on the weekends or at night and not wanting to sit at a desk. When I want to enjoy some downtime. Before my Ipad I would just use 1 of the laptops or my phone to do the same as I do on the Ipad...

I won’t bother listing the app names because everything I do on the thing has 5-10 other apps the do the same things so just grab ones that you like the look and feel to.

1- Remote desk top app to get into and check every laptop and a few servers should I not be at my desk and want or need to get at some info.

2- Email app downloads all my email accounts (I limit storing of emails to the last 3 days any old emails I can login)

3- pdf/office app- lets me read write edit etc attachments or saved files.

4-google analytics app -

5- Ftp app

6- App to transfer files from any laptop/pc/server to the Ipad

7- multi Messenger app for ICQ MSN skype etc. that lets me select each account I want live at any given time.

8- rss/xml/news app - lets me read news I want to access to well I'm having a coffee

9- VoIP app

10- Wireless mouse and keyboard app that controls all the laptops... (Not really used much for work, more just used for the media pc connected to the TV)

11- Basic photo editing app (used to quickly make banners and edit screen caps to show others what I'm thinking by drawing on or editing the screen cap.)

12- project management app that lets me email in PDF format a project outline along with timeline, order of tasks that need to be done and who is responsible for what parts.

Between the Ipad sitting on my nightstand or coffee table I find it adds a few hours to my work week of productive time and also saves me some times in that people are waiting on my replies less then if I was less connected.
