Thread Name: Tech: using tablet on stage
Subject: RE: Tech: using tablet on stage
I'm a 'affordable new technology is great when used effectively' sort of bloke...

So sod the old moaning miseries...

I've aquired three 7" android tablets, and a couple of nokia lumia windows phones.

My problem is I can't see well enough to read anything on any of them.
I need a much larger screen, bifocal lenses, or separate reading glasses...

Oh well.. middle age is a bastard.. right now it's eyesight and memory on the blink,
hopefully nothing else important is going to stop functioning properly
before I reach 60...

My biggest complaint is that even if extortionately priced apple ipads are superior for musicians,
and the currently accepted 'industry standard',
affordable android is catching up..

But the big music gear companies are still aiding & abetting apple's monopoly
by refusing to issue apps for android.

eg, apps for interfacing with Korg and Zoom products..
