I'm by no means a Luddite but I'm sometimes a little slow to embrace new technologies.
I recently acquired my first iPad and highly recommend it as a useful tool. With the iBooks app you can store PDFs of FSI straight from the FSI.org site and, of course, have the audio in iTunes, for a convenient little package of materials. Ultimately, I prefer a little iPod and a piece of folded up paper I can pull from my back pocket, but for the convenience of having your whole library in one easy to use device, I would recommend the iPad. I am in no way connected to any company involved with said device, except as a consumer. Edited by Eumaeus on 26 July 2011 at 7:49am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I'd go with a small laptop -- there are more learning apps for the laptop, and you can do writing practice on the keyboard....

Well, obviously a small laptop is going to be more functional than an iPad, just as a full-scale computer is going to be more functional than a small laptop.

Thanks for enlightening me with your usual positive input Cainntear.
Perhaps I should have mentioned you can load Michel Thomas programs onto the device. Maybe then you'd find it more agreeable. 1 person has voted this message useful |
