G'day from FNQ Australia!
G'day iPad fans,
You can find me at Mission Beach in tropical far northern Queensland, Australia. If that place sounds familiar, its because we made the news in February as the place where Cat 5 Cyclone Yasi made landfall. Yikes!
We hung out waiting for i.2 to come be released hoping that there were cameras. We registered to receive email as soon as the i.2 was available in Australia and immediately ordered one.
Biggest surprise for me was how easy and natural feeling it is to read books on the i.2 If people are going to sit around reading books on these things, then I could see we'd need two i.2's in the family so have ordered another one.
My wife is a performer, solo musician and also as a member of a vocal trio. We have installed app Songbook Chordpro for managing her songsheets for the solo work. We'll be using Garageband to master and tweak the midi backing tracks for the trio-work and use iTunes for playing the actual backing tracks. Contact me if you'd like to learn how we chain the iTunes output to our PA for the best sound.
Oh yeah and that cyclone tore the roof off our house and we took a bit hit from water damage. We threw out an estimated 400 books that were destroyed by the water. Now we have the i.2 with iBooks you can be sure that we'll be replacing the books with ebooks!
cheers ... kimbo
