June 14, 201016 yr Author Yes, they do. Anyone else get Dorothy Attwood's email this evening about what a super job AT&T did with their security breach?
June 14, 201016 yr Camera kit has shipped, about three weeks since I ordered, should be here Thursday. Shipping from hong kong it appears.

June 14, 201016 yr I thought apple was supposed to be a "closed system"? Amazing stuff. I feel guilty using the darn thing just to surf and check email.
June 18, 201016 yr And mine has arrived I cannot play with it for another few hours. Yay! and Boo! at the same time. Have fun this weekend.
June 18, 201016 yr And mine has arrived I cannot play with it for another few hours. Oh, the anticipation!!! Congrats, Vicki, look forward to hearing how you like it!
June 18, 201016 yr Author Congrats, welcome to the fold, and looking forward to your impressions. Changed the way I use my laptop and phone.
June 18, 201016 yr It is dead, and won't turn on at all. I've had it plugged in, had a few folks look at it, including at patient who worked Apple, and they all agree that it's just dead dead dead. :( . I've called the local Apple Store, and they told me to bring it in, but they don't have a replacement for me, but will gladly put me back in line for when more come in. I'm pissed and will investigate what else I can do after work, but damn.
June 18, 201016 yr That sucks, but glad you will get a replacement. I had to get my original one replaced as the wifi was buggy.
June 18, 201016 yr Hopefully it's something they can fix easily (broken adapter? broken port? broken touchscreen? bad battery?), rather than having you wait some more.
June 18, 201016 yr I think wih the iPad it is easier and cheaper for them just to give you a new replacement. That is what they did with mine. Each apple store has a couple of brand new replacements in a special service box, or they should have some, for that reason.
June 18, 201016 yr Each apple store has a couple of brand new replacements in a special service box, or they should have some, for that reason. When I called, I asked if they had replacements and was told no, but we'll see. I got out of work late and just didn't feel like dealing with the mall. Since i have something to return in that mall anyway, I'll head out tomorrow morning and get everything done at once.
June 19, 201016 yr What happens if you press and hold the sleep button and home button at the same time for 10-20 seconds (plugged in or not, either way)?
June 19, 201016 yr i was always under the impression the store replacements are refurb's, its what they do on the iphone's and i high doubt Apple is going to replace an iPad with a brand new untouched at their cost. then again every replacement iPhone i got usually worked better then the new unit i bought, still you paid for a brand new unit and never got to use it once...ask them about returning the entire unit with all packaging at the store. if you plug the iPad into a computer and it does not sync with iTunes or even the computer does not see it at all then your shit is dead!
June 19, 201016 yr Congrats, Vicki ... did you have to open your bag and flash the sig (or whatever you carry) at them?
June 19, 201016 yr Nice. It better not be refurb. That would be bogus. Have fun V. As for me, I cannot get my iPad to connect by bluetooth to the Mac Mini. It is paired successfully but every time I try to connect it shows it as connected for a second and then not connected. Anybody have any ideas?
