Leveraging iPad capabilities is emerging as a valuable presentation technique. I have been successful in a couple of different ways. One deliberate and one by accident.
When presenting to just one or two people I have been using the iPad Duet App with the iPad attached to my MacBook. The viewers look at the MacBook while I drive from the iPad. This allows me to face the "audience" when presenting enabling me to gauge reactions and tailor where I go in the presentation. I have become quite comfortable with this technique. I use Chrome in the "View, Presentation" mode for a very clean display.
One day when I was going to do this, the room we were to use became unavailable. I dove in just using Chrome on the iPad and was delighted to discover that an apparent browser issue with webBook pages scaling fine horizontally but not vertically has been fixed. This had caused the need for vertical scrolling to view all of the information on a webBook page. This appears to now work fine in both Chrome and Safari on the iPad.
From the outset I have deemed "view with no scroll" a fundamental webBook requirement. It's now there even on the iPad. Very cool indeed.
webBooks rule!
