Working Up

We need a touchscreen television that interacts just like an iPad. At least we need one in my house.

I have the original iPad with WiFi only. I like it and have learned a lot by having it. My main use for it is:

Showing kids’ videos to my grandson (2 1/2 years old).

Okay, that might be a little embarrassing for someone with a PhD in EE, but that is life. One problem with this usage is that I have to keep it to a minimum. My daughter-in-law tells me that my grandson thinks their television should interact just like the iPad. He stands next to the TV and swipes it with his pointer finger. He becomes agitated when the TV doesn’t act like an iPad. He has even started requesting that they get an iPad just like granddad has.

I hear rumours that Apple is going to release a TV of some sort next year. Perhaps…
