[Athen] FW: Students can Work with their iPads directly from their PCs

[Robert Beach]

In a couple of presentations I gave over the last two days, I referred to them as iWhatevers.  It just popped into my head and so I used it.  It seemed to catch on with the attendees.

How about iTools?  Or even iStuff?

iCandy?

Ok, enough of that

Yes, I have an early adopter coworker who demonstrated remote desktop access to his Windows machine via his iPad. I would definitely be able to put something like that to use. Would have to have a BT keyboard for true usefulness, though.

Have not had time to explore, nor have I yet heard, of the true usability/utility of VoiceOver on this platform.
