Roseburg City Council gets iPads | The News-Review - NRtoday.com: Roseburg city councilors have a new tool. Instead of flipping through 100-page packets at council meetings, they can pull out their iPads.
“We were trying to get away from the mail packets and sending out all that paper,” Councilor Tom Ryan said. “It will probably save money in the long run.”
After two councilors, Mike Baker and Ken Averett, recently tested the Apple tablet computers for two months and came back with glowing reviews, the city spent about $400 each to outfit seven councilors and the mayor with iPads, City Manager Eric Swanson said.
