RE: Used an iPad today
Olivia and John, Yes I agree, the IPad is not a netbook, it's a digital / ebook reading device and or entertainment device. Yeah ok you can surf the net and or check email. But it's more for being able to source digital / ebook reading tool. Hence the reason a number of USA university / colleges are now selling them to their students instead of printed text books. That's what I'd be buying one for, not for making phone calls on. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of olivia norman Sent: Thursday, 8 April 2010 6:24 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Used an iPad today Well stated, as always, John!

For those who believe this to be the case, unfortunately, you still are not getting what the iPad is. It is not a net book nor is it meant to compete with one.

I think you are going to see more and more people making a similar choice once they experience an iPad and start to grasp exactly what it is. I also don't mind being tied to the hundreds of thousands of applications big brother Apple wants me to use because they are just as diverse and comprehensive as Windblows software for a net book, but that, of course, is just me. As third party developers continue to create additional software and the flexibility and power of the device is unleashed more and more, you are going to see more and more of the me too companies trying to duplicate the iPad as MS and HP are already attempting. I find it particularly amusing that with so many people condemning the iPad as an "over priced net book", there is such a big rush for companies to release their iPad clones and try to catch a ride on the wave.

Re: Moving apps / GPS question (iPhone/iPod Touch)
If you use the same apple i.d. for your iPhone and touch when you add an app to the second device a dialogue box appears telling you that you have already installed the app and therefore it would be free. As far as your map question goes, you'll have to hope that someone who used voice-over can help you out.

iphone os 4 : braille support
Hi all, This morning, someone told me that, is os 4 of the iphone/ipad, there should be braille support in voiceover with a brailledisplay that's connected to the iphone/ipad with bluetooth. Is someone that knows more about that: e.g.: should they also implement multi lingual translations for the braille tables? In snow leopard, the brailletables are not provided by Apple itself but you can install them since snow leopard.

Nisus writer pro again
Hi all. I have a few questions to nisus writer pro. How is the easiest way to search in document with nisus writer pro, I know that I can press comand+f, and there I have a lot of possibilities, but were can I see the results, do I have to leave the window to look at the results. There is also a possibility to find all, can I use this function with VoiceOver. Is it possible to search for - + new line, and how can I do that. When I have a strange problem, that I have found a solution for that works to me, but I also have a braille display that helps me a lot. When I navigate from one page to another with voiceOver+left or right error, The speech does not start to read the page I have moved to, it reads from the beginning, or where I have interacted last, I have to interact before it starts to read on the page, can I do something else. I can see the first line on my display, but the speech does not read this line.

question about repairing disc permissions.

This will allow you to repair the desk etc properly without being in the OS. If I can think of any other fixs for you, I'll let you know.

Don't worry about it. If your machine is running slow and the permissions repair doesn't fix it, try zapping the PRAM. You do this by shutting down your computer, then you hold down the following keys before pressing the Power button: Command, Option, and the letters P and R. Keep them held down until you've heard the startup chime four times. If this doesn't help, try doing a disk repair using the Disk Utility on your Installation disk.

Hi, No, iAds won't work that way. It's a banner, you tap it and it'll scroll down. It's not intrusive.

Re: IPhone 4, and IAds
Hi, As I pointed out previously, iAds is not intrusive. It is a banner that you tap if you wish to see it, and it scrolls down for you to see. It is also going to be based on possibly your location, and what you are currently doing on your iThingy. It is a much better system for sure, and can hardly be called intrusive. The fact that they are most likely going to be based on the previously mentioned factors, heightens the probability that people are going to buy more advertised stuff than they already do.

Re: IPhone 4, and IAds
Well I think those who complain about advertising are going to have to accept the fact it's here and not going away. In fact marketing technology just keeps getting better. As long as the adds do not interfere with what I'm doing,, advertise away. Hell, I've learned to ignore the stupid commercials on the radio, so I imagine I can ignore them on my iPhone as well. And to be honest, every once in a very great while, one may actually prove useful.

Re: Used an iPad today
The iPad is actually much more than either of those concepts. It's a productivity tool, a media consumption device, and several other things.

Generally, it's an iPhone. However, besides the screen size being increased, the interface has increased in complexity, also. Apple is certainly using the extra space to expand on what is possible with an iPhone type touch interface.

Re: Used an iPad today
Reading all this iPad stuff makes me want to jump in for a quick second. On the iPad, I think it's a interesting concept all the same. Really, I believe the iPad is best described as a Coffee Table Centered Device. Sure, there is travel and such, but the iPad in general seems like a device you would want to keep at home, bring it with you around the house, and store it on the coffee table when not in use. Might be a bit strange to call it that, and to place it in that prospective, but that's how I currently see it. Take care all.

Re: Used an iPad today
It really is a wonderful device! Since I got mine on Saturday I have read eBooks, taken notes in classes, uploaded documents to my iDisk, read an exam while writing it on my mac, responded to countless emails, watched movies, listened to music, and the list goes on. Eventually, I see the iPad as replacing note takers like the mPower, and as a device which provides easy and instant access to so many portions of our digital world. As previously stated, I can't wait until all my textbooks are available on the iPad, no more waiting for them to be converted, easy, instant, and portable access to the content, and so much more! I absolutely love my iPad, and am very glad I was an early adopter!

Downloading nls books
Hi Mac Family: I'm finally downloading my first ever NLS talking book into "downloads" on my macbook Pro. The download speed is saying something like 39.something kb per second. The downlad time appears to be nearly an hour, but the book is only a 13 hours long. This seems particularly slow. I'm simply working from the Bard website, straight into downloads. Is there something I can/should do to improve this downlad time? Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Used an iPad today
I think it is nice that we can buy something off the shelf just like everyone else does. The rip off is the price they charge us for making these devices assessable for the blind. Personally I'm not into buying a computer and then paying the same price for a screen reader.
