But is wi-fi capable and can use the internet. The iPad in its present in carnation is basically a iTouch on steroids its about 5-6 times the size of an iTouch. The versions coming out as 3g/4g capable at the end of the month by having wi-fi and 3G/4G built in would appear to have Cell phone Abilities as well. -- Phillip M. Jones, C.E.T.

Wow, does this whole discussion not make sense. You have a computer! There is no need to break music into pages. It can also keep time, so there is no reason you should need to tell it when to advance. At the *worst* (or perhaps best, if there are pieces with allowances for variable timing) use the sound input to detect the notes that are actually getting played and have the software automatically follow along with the musician. -- My personal UDP list: 127.0.0.1, localhost, googlegroups.com, ono.com, and probably your server, too.
