I wouldn't think of using my Android phone - can't see that well. I got a
laptop for away from home, and the Flip-pal. Is there a word processor or an
app for taking notes and saving for tablets? Friend says she can't save on her
Motorola Xoom; might be that she doesn't know how. Think I asked at the Apple
store when the
new ones came out and was told there was not an app for note taking. Maybe
there is now.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Does the size of screen annoy you while using Families
for Legacy app?
I use Families on both an Android phone and an iPad 2. Both devices have their
benefits - as others have said, I always have my phone with me, and find the
display very readable. I would not attempt entering data with the phone's
keyboard, though!
I have used the iPad at the courthouse, archives, etc., but have not entered
data, as I would rather make photographs and enter information later.
Also, images that are attached to your Legacy file (birth/death certificates,
census images, etc.) will transfer to Families, and can be enlarged using the
"pinch" method. This is a great benefit to me, both while researching on site
and when sharing information with family members, at reunions, etc.
Great webinar yesterday. Even though I've been using Families for a while, I
learned some things that I didn't know.

I bought a netbook for "out of home usage". It runs all my apps just fine. I
can type easily on it. It has a very vibrant screen. Very light and easy to
travel with to wherever you go. It is the same size as my plip-pal for those
documents you would like to scan that you cannot take with you. It also has a
camera built into the frame of the screen. I use it for Skype or maybe a quick
picture of something.
