[nabs-l] IPad

[David Webster]

Hi.  I have an I pad which I've had for about 2 years now.  I currently am
not in school but I think the I pad would be kind of hard to take notes
with just because with the touch screen keyboard you can't write really
fast.  You could get an external blue tooth keyboard for it but why do that
when you could have a laptop that has a keyboard already.  Most laptops now
adays aren't all that bulky.  So.  Just my thoughts.-Original Message-----

Hi,
Which is the best one for notetaking in a college setting, the IPhone or
IPad. I would like to get one of these devices, but I am still debating on
whether to get an IPad or IPhone. I like the fact that the IPhone uses the
cell phone signal for GPS, but I don't know if the IPad is more functional
for a student wanting to use it in school and for assignments, etc. I have
a laptop, but I would like something more compact to work on homework while
out or on the bus, because I have a long ride to the college each day, and
my laptop is quite bulky, especially when the bus is full to capacity.
Thanks,
Misty

Josh, I use iBooks on my phone. I read many books that way, and
it works perfectly.

On the contrary, it can do things like read text books in iBooks,
which the iPhone cannot do. I don't know if that would help you,
but just putting it out there.

 Hi Ian,

 If you already have an iPhone, I see no reason why you need to
spend additional money on an iPad. An iPad performs essentially
the same functions as an iPhone, except unlike the phone, it
doesn't have a built-in app for calls. As far as I know, the only
benefit of an iPad is that it has a bigger screen, which would
not be very useful to us.

 Best wishes,
 Sophie

 HI All,
 I have an IPhone, and am thinking about getting an IPad. Is that
as accessible? Is there a tactile keyboard? Is there a way to get
a braille display? What have you thought of the IPad? Is it easy
to use and does it feel like the modern version of a note-taker?
I?™m trying to figure out whether to get one in addition to my
laptop and IPhone.
