If you are a heavy user of Zoho’s web office and productivity suite, you may also use their Zoho Mail service. The good news for iPad owning Zoho users is that Zoho just updated their mobile web site to optimize Zoho Mail in the iPad’s Safari web browser.

Zoho Mail is now optimized for iPad

Zoho Mail’s iPad web view does not deviate much from the look and feel of the iPad’s native email app or Google’s Gmail web view. This is a good design choice since it means that iPad using Zoho customers will feel familar and comfortable right away.

Zoho customers can, for your information, also choose to use the iPad’s native mail app. Zoho provides IMAP server access to mail hosted by their system. Instructions to do this can be found at:

Online software/apps have several advantages against desktop competitors – they are accessible on every computer that have internet connection and you may forget about difficult installation and configuration process. In this article I want to share some of the presentation applications you can use for your business.

Lately I faced a problem – I needed to create some invoices but didn’t know how to do it and started to search for some templates. Luckily for me I remembered those online invoicing services/apps and decided to try them out. It worked out perfectly – I created my invoice templates for the clients within 10 minutes! I’m really satisfied with the service and want to share with you some invoicing services you may want to try.

FreshBooks (Pricing: Free; $14 – $149) – One of the most popular and advanced invoicing apps. Offers both – invoicing using internet (e-mail) or snail mail. You can set-up automatic invoicing and app will track/collect also all online payments. Of course you can brand/customize your invoices depending on your corporate style.

LessAccounting (Pricing: Free; $12-$24) – Also very powerful invoicing app that offers you similar functionality that FreshBooks. LessAccounting will also aggregate your bank data nightly and it can provide cross integration with Highrise/Basecamp. Check out tour videos before you sign-up.

Zoho Invoice (Pricing: Free; $8 – $35) – If you already use some Zoho application then signing up is right decision because it will provide integration with other Zoho powered services.

Worth mentioning:

Hope you will find invoicing service that will satisfy your needs – I did and I will say one more time – it saves you ton of time and money. If you know some other invoicing services post comment below!

It takes a brave person to stand up and stare down Microsoft and Google. Sridhar Vembu, founder of online software suite destination Zoho, remains unafraid.

The latest enhancements out of Camp Zoho are some major upgrades to online word processing tool Writer.

Previous users will notice that the entire menu toolbar has been revamped.
The ‘MenuTab’ mirrors the functionality you are likely accustomed to from traditional desktop office software (a la Microsoft Word). Click on a menu item and the window will expand, revealing second-level options.

Other new features include search functionality, collaborative editing, and a word and character count in the status bar.

Zoho accepts both Google and Yahoo IDs, making it easy for people you know to easily edit and share the same documents.

As much as I enjoy Zoho Writer (and Google Docs), I still find myself writing in computer-based programs (this is being typed in Notepad). I do, however, use the aforementioned tools to archive and save my drafts so I can access them anywhere.

It’s hard to tell if Web-based programs will ever force the extinction of their computer counterparts. But one thing that is certain is that Zoho will continue to turn up the heat and do whatever it takes to convert users.
