This week sees the iPad in the hands of the 12th user.  Surprisingly it has taken this long for the students to realise that while dropbox is the ideal tool to transfer files from a laptop to the iPad there is no such App which allows the exporting of files from the iPad back to a laptop.  To overcome this issue most students have been using the cumbersome process of emailing their Pages documents to themselves and then placing them back into their dropbox folder.  Set with the challenge one of this weeks iPad user vowed to find an easier solution. 


His solution is Habilis (www.gethabilis.com).  After accessing the website and connecting to your dropbox account, Habilis gives you a unique email which you send your files to and then bang your files show up in your dropbox folder a few seconds later!  Hm... I am not sure that this is any easier than emailing yourself!  Has anyone else found a way to overcome this??
