CMC Announces iPhone/iPad SIG

With the launch of the iPad, it's become clear that the line between Apple's devices that run the Mac OS (operating system) and those that run the iPhone OS is blurring.  This new "tablet" is a device that is here to stay.  Additionally, many CMC members own Apple's portable digital devices and they want to talk about them.


 CMC is responding by forming an iPhone/iPad Special Interest Group.  This SIG will meet every other month at 6PM (immediately before our regular main meeting), to bring some attention to software, accessories and how-to tips for the iPhone and iPad user (iPod Touch users, too).


 You'll recall that 6PM has traditionally been the slot for our Back To Basics sessions and you shouldn't worry that they are going away.  We'll be alternating between Basics session and iPhone/iPad sessions each month.


We hope you'll enjoy our continued focus on the Mac, while we also open the door to all the new opportunities that lie ahead with the iPad.  As always, your input is vital to shaping CMC's future and we value your feedback on this new SIG.

iPad Envy: eBooks on the iPhone

With the rise of Apple's other product lines,
the CMC board has decided to explore the
use of our Back to Basics timeslot for
deeper discussions of all things iPhone and
iPad. This month we'll be discussing “iPad
Envy: ebooks on the iPhone.”
One of the features of the iPad is the iBook
app, which is not available for the iPhone.
Have no fear though, there are plenty of
methods available to read books, publica-
tions and other content on the iPhone.
CMC member Joe Arcuri will go through
the variety of reader apps available, sources
for books, and desktop applications that
facilitate the ease of reading almost any
type of content on the iPhone.


Main Presentation: 7 pm
iPad: Everything you want to know about Apple’s iPad

The iPad is here. Let’s talk about what it can
do and what it is good for. Consider this the
CMC “shakedown cruise,” as CMC VP
Jerry Bonvisuto takes you on a journey to
explore the ins and outs of the Apple iPad.
Jerry will examine what the hardware inside
looks like, what apps are available for it,
what it can be used for, and . . . much more.
