Place a file in the Dropbox and it is immediately available to every device connected to that Dropbox account - iPads, iPhones, computers and laptops (Mac or PC).

It deserves a nod for being around since the beginning of the iPad and working simply and well. || If you need a stop watch or recording facility this is a great app. The screen is divided into 4 large timers each of which toggles between 4 more timers - ie 16 independent timers, each of which can count up or down displaying hours, minutes and seconds. Customise the label for each timer to keep track of what is being recorded. The timer will continue to work in the background while using other apps - discovered a timer that had been left running and had dutifully kept counting for 6900 hours which was around 290 days. || Join up for a free Skype account and then video call or IM other Skype users anywhere in the world on any computer or mobile device. Talk face to face with front or back facing camera. ||
