[nabs-l] IPad

[Misty Dawn Bradley]

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.
