I need to get the official iPad case. Currently using a hardback book to prop it up on my lap.... Been away from my laptop for around 2 hours now, and not really missing it so far. Also plan to buy the camera kit and a roll up rubber USB keyboard for use when I am working away and need a better keyboard. So far, so good.... 2 hours with multi tasking has used 14% of my battery, which is quite impressive. -- Posted from NewsTap for iPad

There is Dropbox as an online backup. Might not be enough space (or time) for photos, though. -- <http://www.decohen.com> Send e-mail to the Reply-To address. Mail to the From address is never read.

Ooh, you've jailbr�ked it? I haven't done that yet. I think I might not need to, might just sit out for iPhone OS 4.. -- flavio matani guitar tuition http://www.flaviomatani.co.uk http://fflavio.com

I got to the convention at 10:30, tunrned the iPad on, it was at 100%. I used it all day, a bit of web browsing, a lot of photos, some newsgroup. Several people trying it. I left at just after 21:30 and when I put it in the bag, it was showing 61% battery. This is fantastic for me. With the netbook I would have had to plug it in before 12, if I was using the net. -- Woody www.alienrat.com |
