As with most devices of this type, the color screen simply washes out to invisibility in sunlight. That being said, the device is a nice, small, very light "computer" to have on board, especially when in a case like this one: http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zagg...-keyboard-case It works with wi-fi when available, or on the same networks as any "smart" cell phone. The screen is very bright and usable "indoors," and the Zagg keyboard is easy to use, even for someone with clunky fingers like mine.. On the boat, I mostly use the device to find venues and services at the various places we visit…museums, restaurants, et cetera. But it also works as a media server, and movies on its display are very "watchable." The sound output, though, is not that powerful, so you either have to use earbuds or plug into an external speaker. Most of the apps available for the iPhone are also available for the iPad, usually in versions scaled for the latter's larger screen. |
