blessingx Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Largest group of iPad critics: non-religious/atheist Largest group of iPad owners: non-religious/atheist Something everyone can agree on and proof of Apple fans feelings for Steve are still in check. Still have suspicions on validity of polls like this based on Facebook feedback though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Just JB my iPad using jailbreakme.com. Cydia's servers are bit busy for making purchases at the moment. I am going to get 3G Unrestricter. I'm waiting for a multitasking app, which is the main reason for the JB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Is anyone still looking for camera connection kits? I assume everyone already has them but I am at the store for some MacBook Pro service and they have dozens here if someone needs some picked up.

agile_one Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 On vaca in Maine with daughter's family. Three little girls - 8 and 5, and their 4 year old cousin. Made the mistake of showing them the iPad. Photos, videos, downloaded some kids apps - coloring, spelling, etc, etc. Now I can't get near the thing, and it is amazing how naturally they take to the ui. Fun to watch, but I miss my iPad - in the middle of a book. Told son in law he needs to get his butt to the Apple store in Portland and get one.

Gene, Tell him to hop on Craigslist instead, it would appear to me that there's a fair number of wifi-only models up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeggy Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'm liking my pad more and more. Works really nicely as a drawing slate, is a great VNC station and now I have the camera kit, a nice music station and pic downloader. I popped my SD card in it earlier and it sucked all the pics down really quickly. I wish there was a way of using it as a proper external monitor though, that would be awesome for running real progs from the mini without digging out a monitor.

tyrion Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 It works well, minus the finger swipes. I need to get Snow Leopard so I can install the latest bootcamp and the patch which will allow the use of the finger swipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
