Yes you can, you buy the sd reader for it, we copy all our pics and videos straight across to the iPads.

ahhhhhh doesnt count.... card readers is an accessory lol
Trying to think of another way out of this then... I got nothing
Could do the same thing with an Android tablet though. Horses for courses, I wouldn't put this thing in my car but this is not my car.
what I do like about this though is that you can run multiple programs and show them at the same time, where as I dont believe you can on an I-Pad and you can only have 2 apps running and showing on certain android tablets and phones, such as the later Samsung Galaxy range
Yeah you can have stuff running in the background but can't see them at the same time. Definitely heaps of advantages with running this over any tablet.
Mate, the only place I would mount a Ipad is under the rear wheel.

I did consider going the android options but you are limited with everything you do.
Amen,
Not to mention your not having to find a app every 5 minutes to do different things.
There is a heap of reason I went down this path.
Main reason is I got the tough book for nothing had the ssd laying around and the ram. Another is that I can remote desktop into my media server to change folder permissons and I can also remote desktop to the laptop from my workstation to do any work I need to do. There is not codec issues or file format issue between platfroms.
I can transfer my photos/videos to my mediaserver which is networked thru the entire house including shed.
My media server,
Another reason is network speed I can run a network lead to laptop at home for large file transfer. Wireless at the best of times is painful

Very neat cabling in the case mate. What case is it?My media server,

When you were looking at various options for mounting in the car, did you consider a car-puter? And if so why did you decide against it?
I'm looking at installing a computer/laptop/tablet in my car and i'm trying to get the pro's and con's of each.
Owned nothing but SWB Patrols

Yesh mate, I was playing with a mini atx and a micro atx on my test bench with the thoughts of going into the car. Yes the system it self would have been based on a i5 sandy bridge. I still would have been mounting some kind of touch screen display and the pc would have been permanently fixed into the car. I have lost a fair bit of cpu speed going the way I have but I am still able to remove the laptop from the car and use as a mobile device.
I've been building pc's for 12-13 years , so its pretty safe to say I have a sound knowledge. Maybe I'm Little to old school but tablets running android platforms are brilliant but they just don't have freedom. I don't want to have to download a new app every time I want to scratch my arse, In terms of windows 8 I still cant believe Microsoft could have got it so wrong after releasing the finest OS in thier history. Windows 7 with various hacks is a brillant OS. Tablets are a consumer market designed around how to sell a client a device and keep that consumer spending,
