The I Pad, or tablets, is simply another marvelous tool to help us organize and present info. As a back up device, it is an excellent device to provide music program to your amplifier/powered speaker system. You can store plenty of music on it, and easily run should your main system get a hiccup or crash during an event.
My clients have been very impressed with me using it instead of a sheet or pax of paper when making introductions/ announcements.
At a recent wedding reception, last minute changes to the bridal party list were a simple neat clean task, which eliminated the need to cross out names on paper etc.
At this moment, I am responding on this forum utilizing my IPad.
It really is a cool gadget, that although not a necessity, really has become a welcomed aid.
