iPad and College Students – Perfect Match
iPad - Perfect for College Students
Since Paper Masters is all about making life easier for the college student, we get pretty excited when something new comes out that is destined to change the playing field for students. Yesterday, January 26th, Apple announced the launching of its latest stroke of genius, the iPad. The iPad is a step up from the iTouch but not quite a mac book. Apple touts it as an e-reader, an app platform, e-mail client, web browser and photo viewer. What we are so excited about is the e-reader and app platform on the iPad, destined to be perfect for many student related activities, such as note-taking, text-book access and organizing class information.
First and foremost, Apple is working with textbook companies such as McGraw-Hill to provide textbooks on the iPad through their iBook Store. This will be a substantial savings to students and convenience, as the iPad will have numerous capabilities of highlighting, inserting notes and copying important text to a notepad. Toss the backpack and have all your texts in one place!
Apps will also be a major benefit of the iPad’s functionality for college students. Apps that serve as notebooks, note-taking tools, flashcards and voice recorders make in-class work a breeze, and again, all in one spot. Note-taking may be a challenge with the touch-screen keyboard but apple is also selling a blue tooth keyboard that can connect to the iPad for ease of typing. As far a space is concerned, the iPad could use a bit more but the most expensive unit offers 64 Gigabytes and will run you around $699 for a wi-fi enabled unit. No word on how much text-book companies plan to offer their books at but it is expected to be a substantial saving to the college student, more than likely paying for the iPad in itself in less 2 semesters.
