SyncPad (US$9.99) is touted in the App Store as “the ultimate whiteboard for remote and local collaboration.” That description really doesn’t do justice to what SyncPad is designed for, which is sharing an iPad screen with one or many other users.
SyncPad developer Davide Di Cillo of 39 Inc. received a video (see next page) from one of his enterprise clients who put the app to the test. In the video, 40 iPads are shown doing the iOS equivalent of synchronized swimming. Every gesture and action on a host iPad show up on the other iPads immediately. While there is a tiny lag on some of the more dramatic changes (i.e., going back to a full-screen slide), a demo of drawing on a whiteboard shows no lag at all on any of the devices, which are all using the same Wi-Fi network.
This app could have amazing uses in business, education, and entertainment. Enjoy the video.
