iPhone iPad app - my sandman

**1BadVan** · 11-08-2011, 01:16 PM

Thanks for the info guys. I talked to the it guy at work to get his opinion as well. I have always used windows and some MAC but prefer the windows working environment I like to think, customise and not let the computer limit me or tell me how I have to do it (frustrating). I also want to be able to use office apps. My main use will be class rolls, marks (spreadsheets) presentations via a data projector, course outlines, diary, appointments/meeting notes, budy rosters, surfing the net etc so also important for it to be mobile as I travel from class to class. I think but am not sure a tablet is the way to go. Next step is to start going to the shops and having a play with some tablets but im thinking Android. Any other thoughts welcomed

Thanks again for the input

Cheers Dave

Try a Toshiba netbook if the tablet is not going to cut it.

My wife's Asus Transformer Tablet has a fold out keyboard but also runs touchscreen. Great thing about Android Tabs is you can plug in a portable usb hard drive and access that data as a 2nd drive.

I wish Rodney's Ipad had a usb port, and could load programs onto it so it can be used as a pc for me to type a letter in a save...Ipad 3 or 4 probably will have...

My wife has an ipad. I cant see the point of it at all. I use a macbook air which is the sams size and is a proper computer with usb ports and a keyboard. Just my take on it.

I agree with that, I will probably get a mac laptop next time I need one, now I have an idea about the different application, as I am so used to windows, but it is good for those who are not so good with computers, but have a good handle on Iphones....btw did you get much rain we ended up with 20mm over 3 days...

Heck a Mac laptop/desktop is worth its weight in gold simply for final cut pro! I am hoping however to buy a mac ipad soon. rcknrlla will be one of the cool kids
