Quicken is a great tool for managing finances and tracking expenses. It lets me attach an image of a receipt for my expenses from a file, from the Windows clipboard, or directly from the scanner. It beats saving all of the receipts in a shoebox, but using the scanner is tedious.

Expensify lets me save a receipts by just taking a picture of it with the iPad camera. It then scans the receipt and automatically populates the expense details--date, amount, merchant, etc. Then, I can go back and edit it with comments, assign it to a category for better organization, or tag it to make it easier to find later.

There are obviously other business functions that can be accomplished on the iPad, and with tens of thousands of apps available there is no shortage of options. Don't take my word for it. Explore the options for yourself.

In a nutshell, I can't find anything so far that I would need to do on my PC that can't be accomplished on the iPad. I am sure such things exist--but they aren't things that I generally do so they don't impact me. As I said earlier, though, it may sometimes feel a little like you are swimming upstream and doing things the hard way when you can't just use the tools you are already familiar with.
