How do you dirtibute your ipads to visitors and what percentage are broken and how do you limit the risk of theft? Looking forward to hearing from you. Carrie Ross carrie.ross2@gov.sk.ca Hello,

We are looking at purchasing ipads for our visitors to enhance our interpretation in the museum. How do you dirtibute your ipads to visitors and what percentage are broken and how do you limit the risk of theft? Looking forward to hearing from you.

I\'m really interested to hear more about how it goes and see what responses you get from visitors. If anyone is coming along to the National Digital Forum in Wellington 18-19 Oct, and/or the Let\'s Get Digital Barcamp it would be great to get together and have a talk about this.

It is early days in terms of the application development and we have kept it pretty simple as a test bed for the iPad hardware. We will watch with interest how our visitors respond and engage with the iPads and use that information for further devlopment. At this stage the application hasnt been published, so it will not be available to download. This is largely due to the security measures we have built into the iPad, which are not necessarily a desirable thing to have on personal iPads. There are work arounds for this; we just havent had the developmental time to resolve it. It will happen though - watch this space! This is a really exciting development for us here at Puke Ariki.

It sounds like an interesting tool to have in an exhibit to gain more interactive detail about the works- but I\'d especially be interested in the opportunity to continue to explore the works using my iPad after visiting the museum and returning home... So I wonder, Would I be able to download the app myself? Is the app free, or would it be $10 like the rental ipads? Are there options for people (a bigger group at this stage, I think) who have smart phones in general, but not the pretty-niche iPad?
