CourseNotes for the iPad

I have been on the look out for some more interesting iPad apps - here's one for students.    The CourseNotes website says:

"CourseNotes lets you take notes during your classes and keep them organized by subject and class meeting. Review your notes later and search through multiple class meetings and notes all at once.

Miss a class? Need to print or share your notes with a friend? CourseNotes lets you share your note sessions via email or peer-to-peer networking with other CourseNotes users over Bluetooth or a local network."

Here's the explanatory video ...

The CourseNotes spp costs$4.99 or £2.99 from the iPad store

The iPad hit the UK shops over the weekend so I bought mine on Sunday. I asked my Twitter followers for suggestions for apps to install and was off to a good start.

One of the apps I purchased was Keynote and I love the way presentation slides look on the iPad, so am going to be using this a lot with clients, but how to get all my existing PowerPoint presentations on to the iPad or access them in some way online, as embedded Flash-based Slideshare shows  don't display?

I then discovered MightyMeeting.  I can upload the presentations into MightyMeeting and then present them from the iPad app.  Perfect!  What is even better is that you can set up online meetings with others and present directly to them with chat functionality too. 

(BTW MightyMeeting works just as well with the iPhone and iPod Touch.)

UPDATE: Saurav has mentioned the Slideshare mobile site (in the comments).  This displays images rather than Flash - however, some of my slides don't display properly on it :(
