Do you think you could adapt Flamenco Master for PDAs?

I was thinking that my iPAQ might become a little more useful. It would be more portable and allow me to practice away from the PC.

I wonder how many sets of strings a PDA version might be worth to you...

Exitao,
I don't know what a PDA is..

I gather that it may be some sort of mp3 player, ipod thinggy?

Anyway, my days of playing around with computer code are over now...too stressful.

What I do sometimes is to make a recording of a particular rhythmic pattern on cassette and play it back on a walkman..(a sort of antique version of an mp3 player

)
It also has a "pitch" control with quite a good range, so I can vary the speed too!

cheers

Ron

A PDA is a Personal Digital Assistant. Like a Palm Pilot or or a Pocket PC. They handle personal information and have office-type programs for work on the go. Now they can often play music and video and there are many games and programs out there (I even found a guitar tuner).

Oh well. I somehow knew you wouldn't be interested, but I thought I'd give it a shot...

Ah...I remember being on an early train once and seeing all these guys with their eyes buried in their Laptops.
Meanwhile I was looking out the window and enjoying a coffee and watching the passing countryside on a glorious Summer's morning.
All the bales of hay and different crops and colours...farmhouses...cows and sheep and horses..and even a Kestrel hovering completely stationery in in the wind, scanning for prey...

I guess if I'd had a PDA then I wouldn't have had to watch all that stuff..

cheers

All this organic and 'all natural' stuff scares the hell out of me.

Watch out Ron....
All this wathing things can be dangerous these days. You never know what you migh see and maybe "they" wont appreciate that you have seen it. Better get a PDA, a laptop or just bring your stamp collection with you next time you go on a train.

PS. They should stop making trains with windows, so that we dont have to worry
