VPI

Happy Birthday Zach.

Went to a San Jose Apple store this morning and found a long line of people waiting to get in to get their iPads. Also watched a training class on the iPad. Kind of basic but good for someone with no iPhone experience.

Happy Birthday

I have an Apple case waiting at home so I went and got a clear Belkin grip case for the iPad while I am traveling. I liked the Apple case at the store but the grip added by this Belkin case makes handling so much better for the iPad. Makes the iPad seem a lot heavier though.

There are two boxes from Sprint, 3G and 4G. I do not know how well Sprint work across the country or if I should look at the Verizon unit.

I am interested in hearing this process as well. I have been looking at cell phones and wireless hotspots from the various providers to determine if I could make a nice portable iPad Internet solution without having to use AT&T.

I got 64. I do have about 20 GB of music 20 GB of videos and the apps. That left me about 16 GB of free space for everything else.

Happy Birthday

I can actually type quite well on the keyboard. I was a bit worried before I got it but it has proved to be a nice keyboard.

I have had no wifi issues on four different wireless networks.

The iPad version of weather bug HD is very cool.

How did that happen? How is it. Mine did not show up.

Yeah mine will not charge through a powered USB hub. Syncs fine but says not charging up by the battery. The good thing is that I have had mine on with pretty constant use since 1:30 and my battery is at 77%.

Watching the iPad episode of Modern Family on the ABC app. Great quality.

The free Dragon voice recognition software works well. iBooks are fun and the shopping experience is dramatically better than shopping on the Kindle.

Yes it is.

Hooked up to the Pico amp and JH-13s now. A couple of pics.

I am sitting at home typing on one. I like iBooks I got the Abraham lincoln vampire hunter book and it does not bother my eyes to read on the non-e-ink screen.

I used the Kindle app as I moved all those books onto the iPad but I have not purchased an iBook yet.

This screen is really nice. Movies look great, which is my main use for this so I am very happy so far.

Mine finally arrived. Like it so far. iPhone apps look pretty sorry on it when you make them fit to screen.

Looks like picking up at the Apple store might have been the preferred method. Lots of people saying it was a quick simple process and they all have them now.

They are on to me. 4/3/2010 8:11:00 AM IN TRANSIT TO SECAUCUS, NJ US 4/3/2010 8:10:00 AM DEPARTURE SCAN NEWARK, NJ US

Mine has been sitting 15 miles from my house since 5:30 this morning. I am planning an assault on the UPS warehouse, you guys want me to grab you anything?

So I guess this means I still get to use all the Kindle books I have purchased. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kindle/id302584613?mt=8
