ntTired of paper-filled meetings? The Boardbooks app – another subscription service – offers iPad users offline access to board materials directly on Apple’s slate. While this app works fine on the first-generation iPad, lots of companies desperately seeking paperless board meetings would apparently prefer to have them on the slicker iPad 2, according to the Financial Times.

ntMind-mapping tool Popplet is another iPhone app that benefits from the iPad 2’s larger screen. And having twin cameras to hand also means users of the app can take photos to add to their Popplet without having to transfer them from another device.
