Dale,

How did the batteries in the IPads hold up. We were using laptops last year.
If your rely on nothing other than 3G/4G connections, why would the FTA need to be asked? If the system uses any WiFi access point, I think we already know that's prohibited.

I'm hoping that with 9 hour+ battery life, tablets would be able to do the job (perhaps with a top-off over lunch).
