[nabs] experience with Ipad

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi all,

I’ve thought about getting a mainstream device that can read email and where I can write down notes. So, does anyone use the Ipad? How does it work? Do you have labels for the screen? It’s a touch screen after all. What is the voice like? What all can it do? I know email and internet. What about word processing capabilities? I’m kind of behind in technology. All my technology is old except for jaws. Heck I bought a computer a year ago, so its old now! Considering that windows 8 will come out soon, I’m definitely going to be behind. I happen to like old technology too. Its simple and durable. I got cassettes that I’ve had 15 years that still work! But I realized I need a small notetaking device that is portable and can be carried easily in a purse or tote bag. Can an Ipad be connected to a regular keyboard? What about a braille display?

I have my indispensable Braille Note but that is also old and is a pain to lug around due to its size. So any thoughts.

Thanks.
Ashley
