I'm incredibly jealous as i've just learnt that my Grandad has been given an iPad by my uncle...
And i seem to have been given the task of teaching him how to use it! Bear in mind this is a man who can't even use a mobile phone properly & has never been on a computer in his life!!
I'm not sure what kind of things to set up on it, i know for definite Email will probably be the biggest thing so then he can email relatives...
But what kind of Apps will an 80 year old man use?!
Plus they'll have to be free ones as he won't pay for anything like that.
I have an iPhone & Mac so i'm confident on how to use the Apple system.. So shouldn't be a problem trying to set it up for him.
But just a few questions about the iPad - Can you skype on it? As that might be useful for him to contact relatives in the states.
I know theres a thing called Face time - but the relatives over there don't have Apple computers..
Also i have a Mac book thats nearly 2 years old so can i Facetime from that with his ipad?
And i've seen a thing about iMessage? Is this a new thing, will i be able to send free messages from my iPhone 3g to his iPad?
Many thanks in advance!!
I'm so jealous, i'd love an iPad lol
