Wow - thanks for posting this. I, too, am very interested in learning about this. At age 55, I am a wife, mother to 3 sons and now a grandmother to a 6-month old grandson. I have been asking my youngest son, age 20, what I should get - MP3 or Ipod. I thought I was the only one in the world, at this point, who didn’t have one or the other, for heaven’s sake. I have recently started up working out at the Y again - 3 or 4 times a week, and wanting to listen to music or download some of the talk radio shows - all conservative, of course.
Anyway, I am interested in reading all the responses!! I don’t even have a smart phone...still using a flip phone. But - as my son reminds me...often - “Mom, you do have a laptop and an IPAD!!”...Anyway - I am eager to learn about all of this, so I’ll be reading the posts, right along with you.
You could do both audio and video with your iPad while working out, especially if you use a treadmill.
I bought a refurbished 10” Toshiba Thrive and use it every day on the treadmill. In a few months, I taught myself how to use Photoshop by watching Youtube videos.
Now as I am about to retire, I have already started to restore historic (to us) family photos going back to the early 1800s.
