Curse the imprecision of the English language! I didn't think for one second that the program would implement a required piece of equipment without having an idea of how it would be used, since from what I've heard your program seems to make pretty reasonable decisions. :)<br /><br />As for who I am... I'm just a physics grad student who doesn't do enough interesting writing to warrant having a blog, so I never bothered to tie a profile to my Google Account. Nothing sinister about me that I know of!MadMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193035852628599819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833057697711699400.post-66590431488737495872010-09-26T08:52:38.347-07:002010-09-26T08:52:38.347-07:00Who is this Bryan who says that CreComm doesn'...Who is this Bryan who says that CreComm doesn't know HOW it plans on integrating app functionality?

An iPhone is pretty slick, but for getting work done it's not quite as good as a more powerful device with a physical keyboard.<br /><br />However, this ignores the fact that CreComm seems to have decided that it wants its students to have devices that can run "apps." Without knowing exactly HOW they plan on integrating that functionality into the course, it's hard to make a concrete recommendation on what device you need to purchase (if any).MadMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193035852628599819noreply@blogger.com
