Are you an experimental researcher who needs to organize work notes so that they are easier to search and share with colleagues? Then iPad is a good solution for you, since it allows to organize notes in a way that is both thorough and flexible.

The key new concept in iPad is labelling or tagging: you can tag any part of your notes using common tags such as project, experiment, data, or tip. Tags make the notes easier to understand and manage.

A major reason why paper is still the primary medium for storing experimental research notes is that the right software substitute has not been available. Until now. iPad is a powerful, simple, and free electronic laboratory notebook that has all the elements needed to compliment or replace the paper. iPad works on Windows, Mac, or Linux and in English or French.
