This is exactly why I rejoined this list... to hear thoughts about ipad and other new things. My friend got the Asus E-pad, which has a full keyboard that attaches to the e-pad. However it runs on the Android operating system and when I looked at her Legacy data it was like looking at a Dos screen compared to normal. Additionally she had been told that you can NOT add any info to your legacy file via this app or risk losing all. Therefore when we went to Salt Lake City she took both the e-pad and her big laptop for adding data.
So I am still trying to figure this out. It would be nice if there was a way to use a cloud to store the legacy program and just use it via an ipad device. The prices you are talking about would make me get a small notebook or ultrabook instead so I could have the full legacy program for a smaller price. As I get older I am finding the need to lighten up what I carry on planes and in and out of hotels/motels. Taking my nook, iphone, ipod and large laptop and all the assorted cords is heavy.

I know some will tell you about tablets like the iPad that run on the Apple's operating system and others will tell you about tables that run on the Android operating system. The drawback to these is that you have to use the Families app but then you do not have the full function of Legacy. But there are some tables that run Windows 7 operating systems which means that you can have the full functionality of Legacy because you are using Legacy and not just an app. They do tend to run a little more money, but you should at least consider it. One is by Fujitsu called the Stylistic Q550 which starts at $729.00 or the Dell Latitude ST which starts at $759.00. So it gets down to what you want out of the tablet and how much you are willing to pay.

Hello, I am going to purchase a tablet shortly, for one reason, genealogy. So naturally I want to get my Legacy file installed. I've never used a smart phone and the only thing I know about tablets is,that I want one. I did a search here for tablets and Ipads, and if I understand it correctly, Whatever brand I buy, to install Legacy, I need an app called Families, install that, then my data file gets entered through a Backup file or a Gedcom? Can I attach 800 MB of scanned records? I don't understand anything about tablets, And I would really appreciate a suggestion as to which on is more suited to Legacy and all that it does.
