But you would still need ITunes to transfer data I imagine? it'd be great if they'd have maybe two paths to transfer: ITunes, and via regular USB!

Billy,

The flashdrive David referred to is made to work with iDevices and to plug
directly into the Lightning port of an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. This
would be of great value for people who would like to have access to data
which does not fit on their iPhone or iPad. I believe the drive is designed
with a regular USB connector so you can plug it into the computer, copy
files to it and then plug it directly into your iDevice and access the
files.

what is this new thing?  a flash drive that uses a different connector? I
hate sounding like a  uneducated person but,   Not sure how this is
different or better than  the flash drives we  now have.

Well, that is fascinating. I'll definitely be monitoring this.

My music, which is on CD is also on a 250 GB external HD, and will
shortly be transferred to a 256 GB USB stick with lightning port
when I receive it in a few months.

Great if that pen drive idea works, and we got routers that have

i use my iPhone 5 extensively and got an iPad a year ago to share
with my sighted husband.  I am glad he uses it since I don't bother
with it at all anymore as I can do anything on my phone that I
could do on the iPad. I find the iPad very difficult to use as the
screen layouts are so different and the large screen makes it
harder to feel around for the items I want.
I
have used the iDevices with a BT keyboard for a few weeks at a time
when away on vacation but was extremely glad to get back to my
windows laptop. I use Excel a lot and have not mastered the Numbers
app for this as yet.
Also,
doing the hundreds of emails I get daily is much quicker on the laptop.
Surfing the Internet is so much quicker with IE or Firefox. .
But the main thing I use the laptop for is copying and storing
articles, recipes, information and such.  When an email or webpage
has information I might find useful in the future I copy the
relevant info and quickly save it in my Dropbox folder. I have huge
files of health articles, recipes, iDevice information, computer
and Jaws info, and tons of other stuff. I have not figured out how
to quickly (or slowly for that matter) copy items from the web or
email on my IOS device and save them in my files for future
reference.
Another thing the Windows laptop can do is handle certain functions
on Facebook that I can't do with the regular Facebook app.I also
agree with the person who mentioned the ability to use USB memory
sticks for the NLS readers and other backup purposes. I use my
iPhone to listen to books during the day but find my NLS player
easier for night listening.
If you need a new computer you can get a budget laptop for less
than an iPad and then you have the best of both worlds.
just my biased opinion...

Hi, all,

I have a computer that needs a hard-drive replacement, at the very
least, and possibly has a failed logic board. I'm seriously
considering replacing it with an iPad. Price is only somewhat an
issue, since there seems to be only about $100 US difference
between a new model I would want and the iPad.
Mainly, I don't want the hassle of replacing moving parts and
getting dust and cat-hair and such snarled up in it. I'm also
extremely comfortable with iOS and use my iPod 5th gen constantly.
I intend to use the iPad with a keyboard.

So has anyone else taken this sort of step? Am I out of my mind, or
do you think this is doable?

I am a casual user. I read books, browse the web, play videos and
music and games, and occasionally write for informal publications.

What do you guys think?

Teresa
