    It can use Wifi as its internet source and then share it out again though I can't give you a good reason to use this in a truck. Truck stop wifi is horrible.

    Another good app for iOS is jotnot.
    Takes a picture of a BOL or recipit and makes them into a PDF. Have both a free and low cost version.

    There are a couple scan to PDF apps out there... Good way to get organized and pitch the paper buildup.

    Does anyone have the new Apple TV on their truck? I was thinking about using it for its streaming capabilities but also for light gaming too. But I hear that not everything is stored on device and that it can download the portions of apps needed at the time to save space on the device. I don't want to be constantly downloading stuff from the net either.

    Anyone currently using this setup?

    Gaming with an apple remote doesn't seem like it would be fun.

    I just bought an iPad Air 2 yesterday. I was originally going to get a mini. But then when I saw the Zagg Rugged Book case with USB keyboard I was sold on the bigger one.

    Zagg products are really good. For some reason the screen protectors they sell work a lot better than others I have tried.
    currently using a Zagg case on my mini, it is almost as good as an Otter Box.

    But thanks for you input.
