Over the past few weeks I’ve been able to give a few presentations about doing project management on the Mac and on the iPad. I had a few requests so I thought I would post them.
The first is the presentation I gave in the Philadelphia Walnut St. Apple Store on how to manage projects using a Mac: Managing Projects on a Mac.
The second is the one I gave at the PMI Lehigh Valley Professional Development Day on how to use the iPad as a Project Management tool: The iPad and Project Management

It does not come as a surprise to read that Apple Inc. is working on new versions of the iPhone. The iPhone 5 or iPhone 5G rumors are also flying thick and fast already. Today we read, according to Bloomberg, that Apple is planing a smaller cheeper handset aiming to slow the advance of competing handsets based on Google Inc,’ Android software.
There are considerations for the new iPhone to be free of obligations for service contracts and costing about $200. Being one-third small than the iPhone 4 and without a home button, what do you think? Would this prototype remain only a product which will not get released?
How practical would a smaller smart phone be?

Last year when Apple unveiled the iPad, I, along with countless others were overcome with that all too familiar craving for new gear
from Cupertino. Having tried and quickly abandoned several tablets running the other operating system, I was hopeful that the iPad would gain the acceptance it has rightfully earned, but as a project manager, I was mostly curious about how this new device would fit in with my job. The Windows tablets I had tried in the past always seemed to make my job harder. So, when I purchased it, I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to do it… but like I said… The craving…
Since then I’ve found a number of ways the original iPad enables me in managing projects and best of all, I’m able to use it with Merlin. And now, we have the iPad 2. (more…)
