iDraw as vector drawing application

Among all available vector drawing apps, we recommend indeeo´s iDraw app, a reasonably priced vector application similar to Illustrator or Corel.
It offers all it takes to import, modify and compose vector drawings or to create them from scratch.
You can buy it on indeeo´s website: http://indeeo.com/idraw/ipad.html

File exchange via Dropbox

Dropbox offers a way easier than iTunes to swap files with your iPad.

The Dropbox web service offers some personal web storage you can automatically sync with any of your computers, and which can be accessed from your iPad as well as any web browser.
You can register at http://www.dropbox.com and obtain 2 gigabytes webspace for free - plenty for swapping drawings with your iPad. However, it can be extended for a fair monthly fee.

You can also download and install Mac, Windows and iPad client software for free, to gain seamless access to that storage. On MAC and Windows computers, you will find a 'Dropbox' folder (MAC: under Places, Windows: under Documents). Whatever you store within that folder will be synced with your online storage. Just go online with your iPad to access and copy synced files onto your iPad.
