Hi all,
I am considering squeezing an iPod Touch into our budget for the express purpose of utilizing it for our
theatre. I'd love to see a great list of all the iPhone apps that people have found useful in different realms of entertainment as well as ingenious uses for the toy.
Maybe this can become a sticky for people to find obscure apps, as I know that not all useful entertainment apps appear on the iTunes store.
I think such an item would be great for our theatre to have, if nothing else, for pre/post show music playback in addition to controlling movers, looking at
gel swatches, viewing plots,
etc.
As far as security on such a valuable, desirable (read: steal-able) device, I saw a production company in Utah using a good solution. They put the iPod in a small Pelican case with a combination lock and a cable to secure it to something. They drilled a small hole big enough to get the USB and 1/8" cable into the case. Cables lived in the case and just got yanked out as needed. Worked great, as they were able to set up a stand-alone playback rack that needed no user intervention.
So, lets hear everyone's ideas/links on this and see if this gizmo is worth the price and the hoopla.
