Ipad makes sense to read from. I wonder if they are the 1st to use the ipad for reading infront of a live audience. I wish they would come to NH.
Yeah, what about System 7?
Wow, my little post ends up on the MST3K site! I plan to look a bit closer at what they are doing with those iPads and write another post or two in the future.
@edge10: “It’s coming! It’s coming! OK!”
I mentioned CT adopting the iPad briefly in my blog review of their San Francisco appearance. I made less of a big deal about it because even TV stations are using iPads as their scripts, or more like portable teleprompters. I’d get one, too, expect I have a laptop…but maybe some day.
I wonder when Mike and the Rifftraxers will also go the iPad route.
@David Mello – Mike said on Dennis Miller’s radio show that RiffTrax’ iPad giveaway was aimed at the “douchebag sitting in Starbucks” demographic. So, maybe not for a while…
#5 – Regarding Mike’s comment – see, this is what happens when people can’t get past their own stereotypes. There’s nothing wrong with using an iPad for a task it’s suited for. Their loss.
@ David Mello: For me, it’s very convenient that Cinematic Titanic is using iPads collaboratively to create and perform. This mimics other “use cases” that our lab is interested in. The fact that they see it as “not a big deal” makes it even more interesting. Document centric collaboration, enhanced reading/annotation and multimedia are some of topics that we’ve been studying for more than fifteen years.
Why can’t the iPad sync with each other or a film timing cue?
Do they have to watch a time counter during the film to keep their comments in line?
@ Richard: They aren’t using any custom applications, just a standard PDF reader. There is no technical reason that a more synchronized application wouldn’t work.
