You're right, and I use Excel for lots of stuff, including a list of all my quilting tools and machine feet, patterns, etc. but I don't think I can get Excel on iPad because it's not Apple. Anyone know how to make this work?

I got a Galaxy S (Android) for Christmas and would love to find quilting apps for it! If anyone finds any please share!

I love my phone :-D

I don't believe the Apple apps can be run on Android devices. They are a different operating system. The Android market is making new apps all the time so you should be able to find something if you keep searching :-) I had a hard time deciding between the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Apple IPad. I went with the Apple even though I am not a big fan of over hyped Apple products.

I just checked on line and Apple has a spreadsheet program for the Ipad....depending on what you are looking for it to do, you may be better off getting this program for your inventory program than a more specialized program...not sure what is in each piece of software, but a spreadsheet program can do a lot of stuff.

Well since no who has an iPad has purchased it I just did. Of course I am at work and can't play with it until later but will let you know.

You're right Apple apps will not work on an Android. I've only had my phone about a week so I'm still learning what's on the Android market.

I really have an aversion to Apple products after having to clean up a few computers that were running iTunes. It was the main reason that I went with a 'droid.

i use the robert kaufman ap, be careful with the blockfab ap it's off in some calculations. but it's fun because it'll email the instructions.

So I played with the quilters ap on my lunch hour it's fun to use there is only 121 different quilt blocks so I sent an email to the app support asking if blocks from quilters cache could be down loaded

Is that an iPad app? Or just something you use on the Internet?
