Tim Maly<\/a><\/strong> has a sketch of a new iPad app, and I wonder if anyone here is using it. Any reports?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Confession: I use an iPad and I carry it in a ClamCase \u2014 and I love it though I think the space bar on the keyboard is not as smooth as it could be. When I write on the iPad, which I occasionally do on an airplane, I use Notes. It works as a seamless conversion to MSWord.docx. But, I wonder about this app.<\/p>\n

One of the core features and frustrations of Apple\u2019s iPad experience is that you can only use one app at a time. Joanne McNeil once lauded the iPad\u2019s lack of multi-tasking, saying that it was\u00a0a focus machine<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s putting a constraint on me \u2026 and my worst multi-tabbing, unfocused habits.\u201d iOS 4 has since introduced multi-tasking, but that\u2019s in the form of allowing apps to stay resident in memory. You can still only look at one thing at a time. This can be a real benefit, but it gets problematic if you are working on a single task that requires more than one tool. Enter Writing Kit<\/a> by developer Anh Quang Do.<\/p>\n
Most iPad writing apps like\u00a0 WriteRoom<\/a>,\u00a0 iA Writer<\/a> or\u00a0 Daedalus Touch<\/a> focus on doing one thing well. Often their big selling point is that they are a \u201c distraction-free writing environment<\/a>,\u201d meaning the only thing you can really do on them is type text into a file. If you write like I do\u2013which is to say: in a constant flow between checking notes, looking things up and typing\u2013none of these work for completing drafts.<\/p>\n
