It's probably a daft question, but I have a Mac or a Win7 pc, either of which I can use to connect/fill etc my Ipad.

Are there any differences? I have so far used the Mac, but I have win7 on a laptop, it might be slightly more convenient as it's portable.

Any thoughts? Tyvm.

The one main difference between the two of them is in syncing pictures from a Windows machine. The problem only arises when you want the slideshow to show the pics in a specific order. Our Windows using friends have had to bend over backwards to get this working properly.

Other than that, have not read of any other significant disadvantages.
