The Monkey Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 "overwhelming demand"! How could Apple ever have anticipated that the device would be this eagerly gobbled up? Quote
grawk Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 I think it's overwhelming demand for the "I want to go to the store" option over the "I want to sit in my underwear on the porch" option. Quote
Hopstretch Posted March 12, 2010 Report Posted March 12, 2010 Shit, I do that even when I'm not waiting for a magical and revolutionary product to be delivered to me. Quote

Icarium Posted March 15, 2010 Report Posted March 15, 2010 I tried to install Jaadu on my desktop computer in preparation for using the iPad as a VNC. Unfortunately, my ATT 2Wire router does not support autoconfiguration, and when I tried to configure it manually, it was a headache. I looked around for other options, and found this: www.teamviewer.com There is now an iPhone/iTouch app: www.teamviewer.com/iphone This is a free (if used for personal use, not business) remote access program. I tried it out on my various computers, and it seems to work great, and is very easy to install and use. I'm not technical enough to know the advantage of a true VNC over this, or to understand the details about security. But the web site states it is encrypted and uses the same standard as SSL. I hope to use this for remote access of all my computers via the iPad. Perhaps this would work for you, as well? On another topic, what do experienced Apple people think about the Apple Care program for $99? I don't usually go for extended warranties, but am willing to pay a bit for technical support, especially on a new and unfamiliar gadget, and for reduced down time in the event of a problem/repair. Dunno about with an iPad, but VNC sucks. NX for life! I use it to remote desktop via my macbookpro at work all the time (Into my Ubuntu box). Quote
morphsci Posted March 15, 2010 Report Posted March 15, 2010 But you can't use NX on the server side from a windows box nor can you have multiple open sessions. Quote

Smeggy Posted March 16, 2010 Report Posted March 16, 2010 best thing with that is that you can trade it in for a new on for only 99 bux when the battery goes flat Quote

VPI Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 Interesting. Unfortunately the one from Apple has been delayed until the middle of April and several of these do not seem to be coming out for a while so I guess I will go caseless for a while. Quote
Voltron Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 Ooh, you can hang this one from your nipple rings! Quote
grawk Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 I like the cloak. I may wait for it. I have the apple one ordered but if something else I like shows up before then I'll grab it. Quote
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 I didn't order the Apple case, thinking it would be nice if another one was out sooner. Quote
shellylh Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 Ooh, you can hang this one from your nipple rings! That right there is a reason to get your nipple pierced! Quote
blessingx Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Posted March 17, 2010 Now it makes sense. Apple hires... Quote

morphsci Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 ipad 3g ships late April Keyboard/Dock ships 4/15 case ships/arrives 4/3 APP already here Quote
jvlgato Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 ipad 3g ships late April Keyboard/Dock ships 4/15 case ships/arrives 4/3 APP already here x2. Do you think they'll automatically adjust the Apple Care Support date, or will we need to get on them? Also, I ordered the wireless keyboard instead of the keyboard/dock, and that's in transit now.
