Bite your tongue, Julie! Use it as a shield!?! I’d take a bullet for my iPad! (Just kidding. I think…) ;o)
@Janet Ha! 😉
Hey…we can now serve drinks using the iPad!
@Rainydayinterns Yes! Or play ping pong and ratchet ball!
Yikes! Of all the reasons I created the X-band, that was NOT one of them! But cheers for the creative thinking.
Type iPad too heavy into a Google search field and you’ll see how 850,00+ people find the iPad too heavy.
This device is a good start to fixing the problem. But I fear it isn’t enough for a full presentation.
Also, it isn’t quite right for reading.
I’ve been stuck in bed with a broken shoulder. And I agree that the iPad is too heavy for one-handed operation.
The iPad is 1.5 pounds. Kindle DX is 1.2 pounds. But the Kindle 2 is .6 pounds — way lighter than the iPad and perfect for reading.
For anyone who carries a computer or iPhone, the Kindle 2 is the better ebook reader.
For someone who doesn’t want to carry a smartphone or computer, the iPad is a fair alternative. But still not a good idea for one-haded reading.
