as many of you may know from listening to some of my past shows, I'm a google nut. Google runs all of the planet Texas email and Internet phone connections used here in the studio. And they do it for free. A free email server and phone service, you can't beat that.
now you may also know I am absolutely in love with my iPad too. Very light, versital, and just plain cool too.
one gripe I had with my iPad is what to do with the documents and spread sheets I create while sitting out by the pool with a cigar and a cold drink. With out paying for some sort of printing app that had limited functionality like I did when I purchased pro print.. It was hard to print much of my material
I've known about google docs for a very long time but never used the service until the other day. Simple enough no surprises until I looked at the printing feature. The google cloud print feature is very cool
if your printer isn't cloud ready don't worry. If you have the google chrome browser installed on a pc with a printer connected your good to go.
you simply configure the cloud printing feature within chrome, do the same within google docs and your ready to print.
so now, while sitting out by the pool, I can print my documents with ease. But the cool factor doesn't stop there, remember its called cloud printing. I can send documents to the printer from any where I am connected. I tried this while at work on a secure network and the pages were sitting on my printer when I got home. Very cool stuff indeed google.
oh and you don't have to leave the chrome browser running either
