Living in the Bay Area, it's expected that most folks will drool over the newest
computer technology. I've managed to resist the iPad -- until also hitting on
the idea that Rich Goss mentioned:
<I've experimented with displaying dance cards on an IPad. Worked
wonderfully. I could keep my whole card file on there and also the file
specific to the evening.
It can display using the entire area of the IPad screen. Eventually I'll buy
one, but for now it's 6x4 cards.
Also works well for displaying sheet music. >
The illumination factor alone, in darkish halls, sounds very attractive. (I'd
carry the cards around too, of course, being dubious about gadgets' reliability
when you really need them.) What I've been wondering, though, is whether there
is a version of Callers' Companion in the works for the iPad. Ooo baby. This
would make a serious dent in my wallet, and I'm sure an even more serious
fattening of the developer Will Loving's...

New subject: Callers Companion and netbooks?
I would anticipate that there will be an iPad version of Caller's Companion
available in the next 6 months or so. Caller's Companion is based on
FileMaker Pro and FileMaker just release "FileMaker Go" for the iPhone and
iPad. I will not be making a version for the iPhone, but based on what I've
read, Caller's Companion plus FileMaker Go should work on the iPad with
minimal revision on my part.
In order to test this, I need an iPad (as well as a bit more free time than
work has allowed lately). I've been kind of waiting to see how long it takes
Apple releases one with a built-in camera, which the current model does not
have, so I don't have one yet. If someone has an iPad and wants to loan it
to me for a week or two to test with, I'll give you a license to CC in
exchange.
