Connection Apps

Connecting and Collaborating is one of the cons to having an iPad.  There is no USB drive, or a slot to put a SD card, in order to move things you create on your iPad to another computer or to share with other people.  These apps help you save and share your creations along with giving us ways to collaborate with other people.
