Ipad...what is it good for?

[BigBo]

I was talking to Navionics rep Jeff Brodeur at the MSBA show. He uses his Ipad as his main GPS. I didn't get into too much depth about the software or apps that he was using as I don't have an Ipad. I was more interested in the Fish N Chips software for my Lowrance. I bought the chip.
His Ipad looked like it was running all the latest Navionics stuff. Looked very cool.

Don't need an iPad unless you want bigger screen, any (I think) smart phone will work. I have it loaded on my Droid as GPS backup. Out of pocket: $10! The Navionics navigational charts seem to have more detail than my Garmin fishing charts.

I have a client that is not a computer super user but has jumped in with his iPad that he uses for presentations, email, web surfing, Dropbox, and all kind of business uses and road trips. And then when home its his main surfing / email device.

Absolutely made him more connected than he was before.

I debated previously on getting one but got an Alienware M11X instead (Dell Scratch & dent with no Scratched or dents) which runs circles around most laptops and desktops. Some of you saw it at the shows. The 8GB ram update with Win7, I can even game on it.
