In an effort to bridge the gap between functionality and need, industry giants Apple released the iPad, a mobile device that appeals to just about any social group today, whether it is that avid traveller who just can’t seem to get things organized, or a student who needs to keep the notes and all updated resources at hand, or that teenager who just can’t get enough of chatting with friends and family on social media, or that gamer who is lost without his favourite game on hand.
Following are list of 5 of the most convenient and handy iPad apps designed with the traveller in mind.
