He buys Apple everything.  So this product does not allow you to put the data on a flash drive (even though ANY similar PC product would have that capability).  Instead you have to email the data to yourself.  Also, we've only had it a week, and already the adaptor that connects the camera to the iPad is shorting out.  Also, the product (of course) ONLY works with iPad (not PC or even Mac), forcing the lab to buy iPads.  Another example is Apple's notorious inability to run any Microsoft programs, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.  Though they claim they run them, they invariably crash.</blockquote>
