Bill, I applaud your efforts in working FOR kids with disabilities. Several years ago, I had some experience with the AlphaSmart for my own child. I managed to convince then to allow the use of a pocket WinCE device because the OS was similar to the classroom PCs, which made the learning curve less than with the AS. The AS wasn't that bad, but I can see how intuitive software on touch devices like the iPad and Android tablets will make a huge difference. > My question is this; > Is it possible to tether the iPad to a Mac or PC, using Bluetooth or > Wifi (not Internet), located in the same room.

There are many ports of VNC for most OSs. I don't remember for sure whether audio is included or not. I know that RDP for Windows can pass through audio. > > Thanks, > Bill > > Sent from my iPad It is too bad that developers may have to tip-toe around Apple "LAW" to help children, but this is what I see... Rev has stated that Enterprise customers can develop apps for internal use within their own company. These apps will not be sold. Therefore, if a school system wants to help kids with disabilities, they could staff a Rev developer, and maintain an enterprise license of RevMobile.
