There are some amazing things going on in the computer industry these days… as a barometer, if you were to look over the vast majority of the technology press, and its coverage of computers, you might surmise that Apple was the preeminent brand…for years. They sure have been making some leaps in technology, especially when [...]
These two articles sound, at first apprehension, amazing… That is, until you start to think through what they really represent. Of the millions of tablets in use in the continental US…what is the proportion of iPads in this mix…? I would make a wild guess and state that the percentage of iPads in the US [...]
If you want to be a real pioneer on the iPad, here are some great posts to direct you towards but for now, it is in the realm of explorers and discoverers. In the following three articles, you can see (especially if you read them in their entirety) that using the iPad (ONLY the iPad) [...]
I have been looking for ways to secure and to encrypt much of the information I keep on my iPad…I’ve been looking since I got it. In the last month I see the beginnings of some baby steps in this effort to make the iPad a real, serious platform for real work, for business, and [...]

Of more interest to me, is the idea that since the iPad was presented as such a revolutionary product…there would be some beginnings of how we have adapted to this [...]
The iPad presents a sort of conundrum…in the year since its debut, it seems to have created a small revolution in how people consume information, but it is also apparent that we still haven’t pinned down exactly what this tool may be best for… I have come to the realization that the iPad is as [...]
I have been working on, and making (slow) progress in developing the ability to play Jazz Guitar in the last several months. I have some tools which I have been using on the iPad which have really become worthwhile tools for studying the guitar. Much of the work in developing these skills relates to a [...]
The idea of using a stylus for the iPad is one which most iPad users will never feel the need to consider. But there are plenty of those out there who could find plenty of use for developing more exact input into this device. I could see students needing a stylus to take more detailed [...]
In the last three weeks I have been continually pounded with the news that Apple may have a new version of the iPad coming out…some time… Many of the tech sites which I peruse on a daily basis have been getting increasingly clogged with what could only be called ‘techno-gossip’, by this I mean that [...]
