Well the problems with the tablets of the past have typically been poor performance and just being too crippled to really do anything useful. I.e., you touch it to do something and it grinds and grinds and then maybe pops u a window.... etc....
I guess it remains to be seen if the iPad gets around those problems. From the videos of it the UI seems to have good performance. Hopefully the USB support will be enough to do real I/O (tho having to buy expensive accessories might not be good for its long-term health in the marketplace). Also, it seems you can hook a keyboard up to it through its dock (tho it's not clear to me yet what that actually does for you I/O-wise). And apple has already released an SDK for it.... So we'll see. It'd be really dandy for use with a portable PSK station for example (something along the lines of the iPod app Chen posted a little while ago).... 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/New-MAC-owner-dumb-question-about-installing-K3-utility-tp4693890p4981330.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
