Does anyone use an IPAD for android tablet for quilting?

I don't know about the IPad, but I do know with the IPhone you can easily have internet with you all the time. I currently have a Blackberry, but am going to upgrade to an IPhone very soon. I have internet on my Blackberry and use it for many things.
The notepad feature is great for any kind of list or notation you need to make. I have the dimensions of my windows for making curtains or finding curtain rods, the stock numbers of the ink cartridges for my printer, and all sorts of other info I might need.
In my picture file, I have pictures of blocks or quilts I would like to make.
Main reason I want to upgrade is that I'm running out of memory.

iPad has ereader where I can store pdf's and books which I can access it off line. I have more patterens stored than i'll eve be able to do in my lifetime but they are a great resource I am able to print on a wireless printer without any problem. The one thing I don't like is that I ordered a quilt book from Amazon and I couldn't print any of the patterns from it. They don't formate their ebooks for that.

What about printing out patterns?
I just bought a Kindle Fire and dont know what all I can do with it.
So far Im disapointed about the price of books. I can get used books thru Abes Books much cheaper than downloading prices. Ive got to be frugal about everything except quilting as its addictive and cant help myself.

I just recently read on the Hinterberg site about a long arm quilter that has a frame rigged up for hers that allows her to follow the laser on the panto and quilt from the front. (Panto on the back of frame). I thought that was novel!

I really love my iPad! I download audio books from the library and listen to them while I quilt. Now, I am reading the Quilting Board in bed. I can quilt all day and read about quilting at night. I am able to print from my iPad. I have quilting magazines on it. The free quilting aps that I use are QuiltCalc, BlockFab-HD, and QuiltShops. I am a much better quilter because of my iPad. The audio books keep me quilting and I have learned so much from everyone here by reading at night.
