To say that the Ipad 2 has replace my EDC netbook is an understatement. Now the only time I use the PC is when I have to print a document but everything else I do on the Ipad. I used to carry my Netbook everywhere but not anymore. The Ipad has an incredible battery life, mine last for over ten hours even while playing movies or games. Since this is a 3G model I have no problem connecting to the net from any place. As an EDC device is awesome is always on my Maxpedition Falcon II or in my LA Police Gear bag and since weight is not a problem you tend to forget is there.
This is a list of some of the emergency apps I have on the Ipad:
RadarScope; great weather app probably the best radar app in the store, pretty expensive but worth every penny.
Disaster Alert; I you want to stay on top of everything happening around the world in terms of emergencies this is the app.
QuakeWarn HD; it displays info on every major earthquake around the world and even sends you push notifications when the quake is near your location.
POM Alert; this little app will send you notifications when a emergency occurs near your actual location.
