Hi;
I guess I'm still figuring out all these apple abbreviations.  At any 
rate both my son and nephew have the dreaded i-PAD and have told me it 
would be just about unusable.  On the other hand, this nephew had no 
idea how to explain to me how one would flick which sounds like their 
version of down arrow.  Supposedly a app to use bookshare is coming out 
for the i -pad which kind of caught my interest.  Wonder how the speech 
quality compares with eloquence?  Its a bit on the large side but most 
notetakers out there are larger than I expected and the prices have 
passed unreasonable in many cases.
I realize that the i-pod is basically an i-phone without the phone but 
other than size how do the i-pad and i-pod compare?
My son complains that his wife and kids use his i-PAD so much that he 
has to waid in line.
Any interesting links appreciated and apologies for any confusion.
