Yay, PDF on iPad! - Nature, here I come!

As I mentioned, the Safari browser on the iPad I tested in the store always crashed when trying to open a .pdf file from the nature.com website. Now I found out that the same problem doesn't occur on my iPad (strange...) but, honestly, I couldn't care less, since there is the great app Goodreader, which allows you to open and import files from an integrated browser and also from Safari. You just have to add a "g" in front of the URL and, voilá, it imports and opens the file in Goodreader. You can even access files from your Dropbox, Google Docs, Me or other cloud storages (couldn't find Ubuntu One ...). Tried .pdf files up to 150 MB and still worked.

 

The obstacle concerning contacts management I was able to circumvent using Ubuntu One to sync my contacts to a FREE webserver. I have to repeat FREE this time, since MobileMe costs 79,00 € per year and I think that difference is relevant.
Yay, now the only thing missing is my nature paper to illustrate all this functions with, but I will spend the next years working on that issue ;-)
