penultimate update

For those of you who use Penultimate (or aren't using it), there is a new update that allows you to push out to DropBox and Evernote, or open in Sketchbook, Quickoffice, Dropbox or Evernote.  Pretty cool update.

Hi everyone. I apologize for the blast email but with so many iPad users among you I didn't want to miss anyone. Just came across this great FREE resource. It's an iPad tutorial, as well as an app recommendation tool. It's being marketed as the first app you should download as a new owner of an iPad. I've briefly gone through the introduction. Very intuitive and fun to navigate. 

Highly recommend for new users as well as veterans.
