It's an app that is centered around chord charts and lyrics...plus it adds fingering charts for certain chords. It might very well be a nice addition for that type of use.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210869201614269886.post-52928327435141482762011-05-14T15:06:44.389-07:002011-05-14T15:06:44.389-07:00I have no idea why the HP 2730p came out so yellow...I have no idea why the HP 2730p came out so yellow, both machines were at their full brightness. <br /><br />I have also recently used the iPad and UnrealBook for a gig on bass where I only had to read chord charts. Those are readable on the smaller screen of the iPad. I took pictures and it's on my list of posts to write, so hopefully that will be up soon. I'll try to add a comparison shot with the x61t.violajackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03246174427132541325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2210869201614269886.post-83465710221866278512011-05-13T21:51:30.218-07:002011-05-13T21:51:30.218-07:00You're absolutely right--a beautiful screen! ...You're absolutely right--a beautiful screen! From an iPad user's point of view...could you load the same song on your iPad and do a comparison with that screen as well? I'd just be interested to see it. <br /><br />I was surprised that the screen on the left is so yellow.<br /><br />I think the 4:3 format is the "winning" (thank you, Charlie Sheen) format for tablets. I understand that the manufacturers are looking at the movie industry standard when going 16:9, and I wouldn't suggest anything but a 16:9 SMART Board (if I'd even suggest a SMART Board). But tablets are geared to replace paper, and widescreen just doesn't cut it. I wonder how the Xoom would have done with a 4:3 screen like the iPad?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
