Default Boating with an iPad...

I've used my iPad "3" on the boat a few times over the last couple of
months and have found it to be perfectly suitable for "computing needs,"
so long as you are in a cabin or outdoors under good shade. 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. There
are quite a few apps available for boaters…one of my favorites is "Knots
3D," which, as the name implies, presents good animations for tying all
manner of…knots. There are also navigation apps, weather apps, fishing
apps, just what you'd expect. My guess is that there are about 100
boating-related apps.

Obviously, a decent laptop computer is more utilitarian than an iPad,
but...for simple convenience, portability, et cetera, I like the iPad
better than the laptop I used to use.

Screen washout is Gods way of saying " take that awful device away from
your face and open your eyes to the beautiful things I created for you.

This is another lie. Here's the proof:

Any tablet, iPad included, with wireless capability works on only ONE
network and the iPad can only work on AT&T or Verizon.

Wrong, JustHateClone. iPads are sold all around the world, and work on
non-wi-fi networks that are not Verizon or AT&T. Further, you can change
the SIM card in a US-released AT&T ipad to a European SIM card.
Oh, and iPads will soon be avaliable for other networks in the USA, just
as the new iPhone now is. In fact, I recently read that iPads for the
SPRINT network will be available shortly.

So, "Earl," if you need a shoehorn to work your head out of your ass,
why, just borrow one from one of the other right-wing turds here.

Oh, and my iPhone is unlocked, which means when I travel to Europe, I
simply pop in a SIM card from a European services provider.

It wasn't bad information, it was a lie! And I personally don't have a
single "i" anything and never will again. I had an iPod and the ensuing
iTunes account for about a week. After I saw how much "i" things take
ahold of your computer, your iPod, your money, etc. I gave the iPod
away, cancelled my account and will NEVER own another Apple product.
