iPad Pro iPad got more useful (for academics and CAD work)

[iPadified]

Perhaps I am behind the curve here...

To my surprise Word for iPad can use Mendeley reference manager plugin. This has been my main concern for going "iPad only" as an academic.

To my other surprise Fusion 360 over the web works on the iPad Pro (Chrome) despite what Autodesk says. It apparently wants you to use the pencil. Performance is bad but it works! When Shapr 3D has an academic discount like Autodesk, I might use that.

Blender is native for M1 so there is hope that Blender might run on M1 iPads.

I took a look at the latest version of Pages for IPad last weekend and was surprised at how far it had moved on. It’s been a while since I looked at it but MathML and ToC were all new additions making it much more capable. Shame I stopped my Open University stiudies a while back, it might have been interesting to do some of the papers in Pages no Word.
