Can you access the data on the sd card from the ipad? Such as music,
audio books etc.?

thing with the Lightening connector plug, less than 3inches of cable, then a
wide bit on the end, about the shape of the old connector, bigger, with a
slot to take the SD card.
£15, so $25 max, plus your own SD cards of course.
A pen drive with the Lightening connector on already is a good step forward.
Hope they remember the short flex to minimise risk to connector ports on the
device though.

what is this new thing? a flash drive that uses a different connector? I
hate sounding like a uneducated person but, Not sure how this is
different or better than the flash drives we now have.

Well, that is fascinating. I'll definitely be monitoring this.

and I know the data will not degrade as the older magnetic surfaces do.
My music, which is on CD is also on a 250 GB external HD, and will
shortly be transferred to a 256 GB USB stick with lightning port when I
receive it in a few months.

i use my iPhone 5 extensively and got an iPad a year ago to share with
my
sighted husband. I am glad he uses it since I don't bother with it at
all
anymore as I can do anything on my phone that I could do on the iPad. I
find
the iPad very difficult to use as the screen layouts are so different
and
the large screen makes it harder to feel around for the items I want.
I
have used the iDevices with a BT keyboard for a few weeks at a time
when
away on vacation but was extremely glad to get back to my windows
laptop. I
use Excel a lot and have not mastered the Numbers app for this as yet.
Also,
doing the hundreds of emails I get daily is much quicker on the laptop.
Surfing the Internet is so much quicker with IE or Firefox. .
But the main thing I use the laptop for is copying and storing
articles,
recipes, information and such. When an email or webpage has
information I
might find useful in the future I copy the relevant info and quickly
save it
in my Dropbox folder. I have huge files of health articles, recipes,
iDevice
information, computer and Jaws info, and tons of other stuff. I have
not
figured out how to quickly (or slowly for that matter) copy items from
the
web or email on my IOS device and save them in my files for future
reference.
Another thing the Windows laptop can do is handle certain functions on
Facebook that I can't do with the regular Facebook app.I also agree
with the
person who mentioned the ability to use USB memory sticks for the NLS
readers and other backup purposes. I use my iPhone to listen to books
during
the day but find my NLS player easier for night listening.
If you need a new computer you can get a budget laptop for less than an
iPad
and then you have the best of both worlds.
just my biased opinion...

Hi, all,
I have a computer that needs a hard-drive replacement, at the very
least,
and possibly has a failed logic board. I'm seriously considering
replacing
it with an iPad. Price is only somewhat an issue, since there seems to
be
only about $100 US difference between a new model I would want and the
iPad.
Mainly, I don't want the hassle of replacing moving parts and getting
dust
and cat-hair and such snarled up in it. I'm also extremely comfortable
with
iOS and use my iPod 5th gen constantly. I intend to use the iPad with a
keyboard.
So has anyone else taken this sort of step? Am I out of my mind, or do
you
think this is doable?
I am a casual user. I read books, browse the web, play videos and music
and
games, and occasionally write for informal publications.
What do you guys think?
Teresa
