Hi all,
thank you for sharing your experiences. Jewel I have an Iphone and
I'll try the apps.
Thank you for your comprehensive e-mail.

> desks. You may also want to invest in a bluetooth ear piece so you don't
> have to deal with any wires.
> If you use your iPad as a notetaker, remember to turn off wifi and if
> possible for you, turn on the screen curtain. This will save the battery. In
> this way, I can have my iPhone out and take notes for four hour long
> classes, plus check email and read material between classes.
> The only problem I foresee in using the iPad exclusively is that if your
> school uses blackboard, you cannot transfer files from the blackboard app to
> other apps.
> It is worth trying if you think you can use your laptop at home to get
> blackboard door files if your school uses that.
> You are welcome to contact me off list if you have any questions about apps
> or how I keep up with notes and materials for class.
