The iPad can't make any phone calls, send text messages, nor does it have any camera functions. Again, the lines between certain devices are now becoming increasingly blurred, and I predict it won't be long (less than 2 years) before all devices that are strictly 100% electronic scorebooks will cease to exist in favor of software-based development.

As to what I would allow, I'd be inclined to take the rule for what it says and not try to interpret in too loosely... But, I expect I'll be calling very few ASA games this year (local sanctioning politics, etc.).

hi dave, thanks for biting me.
![]() the ipad is really a tablet pda, but a really big fast one, and only has wifi capabilities in this first release, but another release will come out soon that could make calls thru a 3G or 4G wireless data service, so in essence, it could send text messages, which would qualify it as a communications device. technically speaking, setting up a mobile wifi point is now rather easy.

Even without the ability to text or make calls, the iPad can still send emails which could be read on any phone or computing device, therefore making it capable now of communicating.
