Bill, I don't own an I-pad (my want soon list) but I just figured it would be the idea little device to have near the workbench. I imagine somebody will figure out a way of making it work. Fixing a mount above the workbench would help with the spilled Cokes, super-glue and brass filings that plague my little 14" of space!
It would be nice to actually have the plans up on a large (like 27") screens like the CAD guys have. Because it's nice to build 3/16 models with G scale plans! Those screens can also be used for virtual control panels that are the coming things--no strings attached Bob! BTW, I have four Mac's in my studio, some just to run old, but neat software and scanners. We also have three at the house that run even older items--SCSI anybody!
