Macbook:

- Bibdesk (http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net): archiving papers (automatic rename / custom citekey generation), Google Scholar bibtex extraction, and bibtex interface w/ TeXShop

- Google Drive: storing archive ... it's not a great archive solution because of google's special system of renaming files, however stuck with it because of work

iPad:

- Goodreader: fast PDF renderer

I wish there was a bibdesk app for the ipad linking to goodreader.

There's an app "PocketBib" that synchronizes Bibdesk to the iPad (through Dropbox or Google Drive). It has a basic reader built in, but you can open individual papers in Goodreader (or any other reading app). Of course, if you have the papers in Dropbox/Google Drive anyway, you could also open them directly in Goodreader. In that case, PocketBib is just an interface for the database.
