I had read in one of your previous posts to Sergio that you used the menu at the top of the home page to get to the journals. Since the iPad belongs to my wife, I didn't want to change any of the settings in her Safari browser. Anyway it is a brand new iPad with the latest OS. Not knowing Sergio's situation with his iPad, I figured that the most reliable path is to refer to the links at the bottom of the home page since they are static and don't depend on having Java enabled in the browser. I suppose that the iPad is nice, but being a dinosaur, I like my real keyboard and big 27 inch monitor.
Bill,
The ipad is definitely not a computer. You can get real keyboards for them.
I'm sort of half a dinosaur. We don't own any smart phones.
It is easy to get hooked on the tablet.
4-5 years ago I was assisting Trent Bosch at arrowmont. We showed slides. Trent pulled his iPhone out of his pocket and connected it to the projector.
I lugged out my laptop and it's brick and plugged in and I saw right away is should figure out how to use Sherry's IPAD.
The ipad is so easy to travel with. Light. Our library loans kindle books, all the stuff I need to read can go in PDF.
On a plane I can listen to music and read my books.
Don't need a reading light.
I often show a few slides from my ipad as an introduction to demos nearly every place has a projector I can plug into.
I still pass a few things around but using slides has everyone looking at the object while I'm taking about it.
I can also show diagrams that are in the handouts and relate it to the demo.
I can also take a photo of something I see in the show and tell and add it to the presentation....
The presentation interface with slideshark lets me tellestrate in 4 colors or use my finger as laser pointer.
This is the best interface I have seen for doing presentations. I also give presentations once a year not related to woodturning.
Doing a panel at a symposium no big stuff to lug around the battery does last close to 10 hours.
