MSP played an "integral role" recently at an evening that was planned as a regular BBQ party at a friend´s place.
After having feasted sufficiently on what the Weber spat out, and enjoying the high summer qualities of this early September night, someone suggested we should "sing a few songs". Two guitars, a couple of small percussion devices and the Samsung P900 were at hand quickly. "Of course", the setlist of 40 "Camp Fire Songs" turned out to be too short. So the tablet was passed around and everyone selected songs they wanted to sing/hear (from 1800 songs in MSP).
We collapsed happily at 4:15 am. and this evening made me realize what a powerful combination a tablet and MSP are. Technology with very tangible benefits.
For the next similar event, I´d like to "deploy" one or two small tablets that can be handed out and "stay" in the "crowd".
Would the FIRE 7 work? Amazon claims you can install Android apps, is that true for MSP?
Ideally, the master (Samsung P900) should be able - if desired - to control the slaves, means, when I open a song on the master tablet, the same happens on the other tablet(s). This is not yet available I take it. The "Fires" from amazon don´t seem to have bluetooth and therefore wouldn´t qualify for this kind of ensemble.
Any hints as to what small tablet, sized 7 or 8 inch, would be good for MSP is appreciated. If it can take a spill of beer, all the better!
Thanks!
