| famousringo said: @ twesterm Is approval really such a barrier? Apples approving almost 10,000 apps a month. My employer has it's own app, our content management server has a client app. Custom apps seem pretty easy to make and get approved to me. I think that the amount of control Apple exerts over the App Store is highly overstated. I thought this thread was going to be about students transforming 100 lbs of textbooks into 1.5 lbs of iPad. As a digital distro cheerleader, I'm excited at the prospect of rich content books and periodicals being offered online. |
I have no idea what the approval process it, I just know it can't be as quick and effecient as not having to go through the approval process.
Believe me, I love the idea of digital distro but I would never want my textbooks on the iPad.
- Since the iPad doesn't have a stylus, I couldn't write and make notes in them
- Hello eye strain
- I can't sell the textbooks back (though if they're cheaper, it might be worth it)
Anyways, what professor's make you bring books to class and how many books do you have to carry per day?
I was a computer science major and rarely had to carry a book to class, it was mainly just notes. The wife did computer science, math, and English and she had to have books for English class, but nothing too bad. She's a small person and handled it pretty well.
