The Digital Music Stand
Sick and tired of paper sheet music? With the Freehand MusicPad Pro, a school’s music department can kiss paper music goodbye, and never worry about where the score sheets for the spring concert is. The device can hold a file cabinet of sheet music and there’s even an optional foot pedal for junior soloists to turn pages themselves. At $899, it’s expensive, but schools can either buy digital music from Freehhand’s library of over 98,000 pieces or scan their own.
Specs: 12.1-inch display, 64MB of flash memory
Bottom line: A music department can go digital and save on sheet music with the MusicPad Pro.
There is an alternative for the Music Pad Pro. It is called MusicReader and runs on standard Tablet PCs, laptops or desktops. This music stand software can be evaluated for free and is available for Windows. For more info see http://www.musicreader.net .

Thanks. I've heard of this electronic music stand, but hadn't actually seen a picture of it.
