The Ipad after 1 week
The Ipad has survived its first week in the house. Some facts and findings you may, or may not find interesting, but here they are:
- A single Mobileme account can support both your Iphone and Ipad, set it up in your Ipad then on Mobileme. Got to add an account in settings in the Ipad, then let Mobileme find the Ipad at mobileme.com/find
- Entourage is still the worst email system and will not properly integrate with Mobileme but Office 2011 for the Mac is apparently due in June 2010 with Outlook and which should rectify this
- Turning the Ipad to sideway gives a different and in most cases better working experience when using the Ipad and different functionality. Use the switch above the volume to lock this
- It does not and never will replace your laptop
- Most of the Ipad Apps used and tested so far are slow. Please optimise these, including the Australian newspaper app. Apparently it was done in a short timeframe. It shows and right now with advertising I don’t think is worth the money. Better checking out SMH or News.com in the Safari browser
- People on the bus read over your shoulder. Please everyone buy an Ipad so people will stop looking at you like you are a complete tosser when you pull it out
- Accessories are ludicrously expensive, Ali Baba would be embarrassed by the prices being charged
- Still no epiphany, waiting….
- Had some difficulties setting up pre paid wireless on some of the units, getting through to the Telco is a nightmare
- Otherwise, still a great device. Not too much buyers remorse. Easy, portable and accessible. For those who can work out what the hell to use it for there will be a massive updtake
- Multitasking will be good when released. This us limiting, especially on the Ipad
- No Facebook Ipad app yet
Short and sweet.
Does anyone know any good Ipad App review sites, most seem to be focused still on the Iphone.
