REVIEW – Common wisdom is that iPads, and, indeed, all tablets, are for media consumption only. Countless millions only read books, watch videos, or review photos using these powerhouses, but never tap into the reality that they are extremely potent computing devices. Part of this is the incessant drumbeat from tech journalists who can only
