April 3, 201016 yr I know I'm a fanboy and all, but Web browsing on a touchscreen > Web browsing via mouse/keyboard. I hope to God they make an iPad HD with a 15" screen!
April 3, 201016 yr Where's Mike? $5 says he went to the Apple Store and when he gets home he has two. So this Is how my day has gone. By 1 pm no iPad. By 2 pm I got one of the worst migraines vie had in a while. At 4:45 the iPad arrives but the migraine didn't leave until now. I am happy to say that I am typing this post from my iPad. This thing is f'ing cool.
April 3, 201016 yr Mike, Sorry to hear about the migraine but glad to hear that the iPad made it back from its trip to Korea!
April 3, 201016 yr Author Have you gone to the Apple Store yet, Ric? Nope. Waiting for 3G. Placed 64GB 3G order this morning though. You? Anyone having charging issues? Apple iPad charging woes: USB hubs, non-Macs and weak ports not rejuvenating - Engadget Edited April 3, 201016 yr by blessingx
April 3, 201016 yr Nope. Waiting for 3G. Placed 64GB 3G order this morning though. You? Anyone having charging issues? Apple iPad charging woes: USB hubs, non-Macs and weak ports not rejuvenating - Engadget 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%. Edited April 3, 201016 yr by VPI
April 3, 201016 yr I am happy to report that I am typing from my 3G iPad. WUT How did that happen? How is it. Mine did not show up. You have the 3G ipad? Mike's "365 Kittens a Year" desk calendar has not been flipped over since Thursday... **BRENT**
April 3, 201016 yr Congrats Mike, Jeff, Shelly, Dan, jp(?), and all on being up and running with your pads. I was out all day making airport runs for guests, but mine arrived, just finished charging, and I'm synching now. Looking forward to a fun evening with the new iPad and a rack of dfh 60 minute.
April 3, 201016 yr Has anyone done a large amount of typing on the keyboard yet? I was hoping to make it to a store today to check it out but didn't get a chance.
April 3, 201016 yr I think Mike is saying he got it to tether to his iPhone. If that's the case, I am very effing impressed, but why would he need to if he is in wireless range? Mike? Mike? Bueller? Spill.
April 3, 201016 yr If that's the case, I am very effing impressed, but why would he need to if he is in wireless range? Mike? Mike? Bueller? Spill. His hope/plan was to be able to use the wifi model and tether it to his phone for mobile/3G access. I have to say, it's a great plan and it's damn impressive if he already got it to work.
April 3, 201016 yr If that's the case, I am very effing impressed, but why would he need to if he is in wireless range? Mike? Mike? Bueller? Spill. I think mike was talking a few days ago, either in this thread or the iPhone/iPod Touch thread, about a 10$ app that turns the jailbroken iPhone into a wifi hotspot. **BRENT**
April 3, 201016 yr I am using the 3G from my Palm Pre right now with the iPad (with mytether); it works great.
April 4, 201016 yr That is so cool, Shelly. Stickin' it to the AT&T man ... hope Mike got his working, too, although with iPhone it's still ATT, but no additional $$$, so still stickin'.
April 4, 201016 yr Many times I found myself quite tempted to switch to AT&T to get an iphone but I held strong.
April 4, 201016 yr I have found touch typing with the onscreen keyboard to be quick and easy. I thought sitting this thing on my lap and typing would be a pain, but it's quite easy. Gonna write a book on it...no. But for email, forum posting and other light typing, it's fine, better than fine actually. Using it in landscape mode is the way to go. Portrait mode is ok, but less convenient. Browsing the web is awesome. The browser is very responsive. There are a lot of iBooks out there right now and many free classics from project Gutenberg.
