It's no secret that the Apple iPad 4 has revolutionized the business world, allowing workers to be more productive while providing a fun and intuitive way to get work done. Even normally mundane tasks such as balancing accounts and sharing documents are more enjoyable because of the touchscreen interface and intuitive user controls provided by iOS. But you may not have considered that the widely loathed office presentation can become much smoother and more entertaining using Apple's tablet.

Most professionals have had the awkward experience of delivering a lecture or talk in front of coworkers and colleagues using an antiquated Powerpoint slideshow and having to click with a mouse through each slide. The iPad allows you to dispense with this charade. Instead, you can carry your tablet while you switch slides with the swipe of a finger, without losing momentum or the attention of your audience.

Apple's iOS devices are all equipped with a function called Airplay, which allows you to share the screen of your iPhone or iPad with an Apple TV connected to whatever display you're using for your presentation. This provides the additional benefit of having the tablet or phone screen in front of you, so that you can see each slide without having to turn and look behind you.

There are many apps that will let you build a slideshow, including Keynote, which is designed to work across all Apple hardware. Slideshows created with Keynote can incorporate sound, pictures and video as well as dynamic motion to give your presentation a slick, professional look.
