  • iPad mini 7 two-month review: Now I get it

    Still waiting for M-series iPad mini, having moved from the mini4 to the mini6 when it launched and using it for almost everything with the pencil 2 and my BT keyboard with trackpad left over from my Blackberry Playbook days (sigh) the only thing really missing is Stage manager to add functionality. I often use it docked into a pass thru hub. My employer is locked into office 365 and so much of my work is done within that environment using One-note and upon launch I purchase the multi-OS Affinity suite. Also use the free Dorico music notation as it allows 4-track composition. So as a content manipulation and creative tool it is 90% sufficient. Even when playing sheet music I can manage split screen in ForScore. Just that one limitation is slightly irking me otherwise it would be the perfect all around solution.

  • How to use CarPlay's handy new features in iOS 18

    What I would like to see is the ability to adjust the volume. Whether playing the car’s own media sources or the iPhone, when directions or warnings are given it is loud enough to make everyone in the car cringe. If for some reason I’ve missed a setting step, HELP (deliberately shouting)

  • Coming to a theater near you - Blackberry: The Motion Picture

    As a committed BB user (hey, my playbook is still working well, have the teeny tiny BT keyboard, and with the adapter shows well on an HDTV) I still believe that Balsillie was so distracted by his campaign to bring major league sports to Hamilton that he failed to heed opinions around him, and that the abysmal attempt to regain usability for the everyday user was dead on every launch. I still mourn the passing of BB10, to me a truly intuitive OS. When forced to choose, I opted for iOS as Android just doesn’t do it for me.

  • Updated 2022 iPad Pro models could use four-pin Smart Connectors

    3 or 4 pins, I don’t care. Put one set on the bottom edge and one on a side edge. I’m tired of attached keyboards having to stick to one orientation.

  • Astropad turns iPad into graphics tablet for PCs as well as Macs

    I’ve been using the free version of XDisplay for at least four years. Yes, you have to use a cable, and at least for Windows only apps on that platform are usable, but it allows me a duplicate or extended screen on an older laptop.
