IM app for IPAD

Quote:
Jeff,

Can you research if there is a free program that I can download on my ipad and that I can send an instant message to the computer at the back of the sanctuary. If I need to tell you guys something or change something in the production notes - I need a way to communicate. see if there is a program and/or app that I can put on my ipad and that can talk to the computer at the back of the church. Probably when we get the MAC it will be much easier but see in the meantime what we can find.

Thanks,
Sis. B
Ok, so my Pastors wife/worship leader sends this in an email, and i am not a MAC person, so here i am to ask. she carrys her ipad onstage as her bible, so it's always within reach. she wants to im us in the sound booth, where the only pc is a winxp box doing the projection. So any IM App i use there will have to be superlight to not bogg down the machine!
Help?

Yes, search the App Store.
There are free apps for Google, Yahoo, Messenger, Palrigo (sp? combines more than one).
Just find one that's not processor intensive for PC box on the PC end, then search the App Store for a compatible counterpart.
Sorry, can't do much more than that at the moment, the AppStore is blocked at work.

I use Vtok - it's a google chat client. I mainly use it for video chat, but it handles text chat as well. Then you just run google talk on the PC.

We just use text messaging phone to phone, but generally from a pastor that is not on the stage.

Might make more sense to just put a cheap iPad next to the PC -- my experience has been the more you try to do on the worship PC the more likely it is to crash during worship.

Rephrase - cheap = used.
You're only using it for messaging so you get the cheapest used one out there.
