Can you use skype on iPad 2 to video chat with someone using skype on a pc?

I'm not sure if it's been updated for the iPad yet, but you can definitely do this on skype for iPhone.

Not really. There's still plenty of fingerprints and stuff on my iPad 2 screen (only see it when the screen is turned off, but still - the case doesn't seem to really clean it much).
Aside from that and the back magnet being a little weak, the smart cover is pretty damn awesome.

Achtung, I believe it's still a FREE game, but I'm not 100% sure. Recently got a quite cool update too.georgc said:
Also, Multipong. It's Pong with some really awesome twists in it.
Both games are better suited for 4 players though. Old school fun.
Be sure to check out Carcassonne too, a strategic, turn-based board game. For 2-5 players. (I prefer 1v1 or 3 player games in this one.)

Yes you can, but as someone else mentioned it's the iPhone/iPod touch version still. No updates for iPad yet.
You know, I always wondered why the iPad had it to begin with. It was supposed to be a lock screen on iPhone so you don't accidentally unlock it in your pocket.Jasoco said:
But,
1) you don't keep the iPad in your pocket anyway
And
2) the use of a slide switch to prevent accidental button presses is somewhat negated when there's a button right next to it that puts it in slideshow mode.
Can someone with an ipad attempt to load this page in their browser?

Let me know how smooth it is and whether or not the gifts are running smoothly as well.

Do you have a friend with the iPad 2? I liked your comparison videos.kinggroin said:
The only one I found with Xoom vs. iPad 2 is this 15 second browser load test:

Though Anandtech lists page load tests at the bottom of this page:

New iPad on tope of new Timbuk2 Envelope case. perfect to go with the smart cover, I can store it in there, adds for great security and carrying. Looks good too.

I imagine a lot of people will never notice because they just don't care of if they see it they'll just shrug and carry on. But google "ipad 2" light leak and you will see that this is not just a very isolated occurrence.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
It's funny, I didn't have buyer's remorse, more like fatigue after running around trying to get one. After the first night I was thinking it wasn't much of an upgrade though the machine itself is an intrinsic part of my everyday life. Then I picked up my old iPad that I had sold to a relative today and it seemed like a heavy, slow beast!

Here's a tip. It's sunday, don't bother tomorrow. No stores I know of get shipments for anything on sundays. I doubt apple is any different.
Get ready for what happened last year, long wait times and lines for the first few weeks.

anyone not have bleeding on their screen?
I was looking over at the macrumors forums and it seems like everyone has it....

Having a hard time struggling with not upgrading. Deep down I know that my current iPad is still amazing but I would slay a dragon for a white iPad 2 with an orange Smart Cover.
Worst of all, my tax refund is here and I could easily get one. I'm trying to think of what other things I could do with the funds but so far I'm not coming up with anything i'd enjoy more.

I think this is going to turn into a big deal for Apple. Mine has it (although I've certainly seen worse on the web) but for $839+ I'm not going to let this slide.

NO bleeding
Some/Minor bleeding
Ugh...we-need-a-transfusion bleeding
BigNastyCurve said:
Haha, it's launch hardware, and there's a bad batch. Apple will replace them. Everybody has a run of bad launch screens from time to time, and Apple probably rushed out a million units that were made in two months.
BigNastyCurve said:
Why would you? Take it in to the Apple Store and swap it out.

Yah I'm tired. That came out more self-righteous than it needed to be.
No apple store in my area. I'll just return it to Best Buy and wait for a new batch to get in.

I don't really think that's acceptable in 2011 on a 2nd gen product, though. LCD panels are old tech by now.

It's definitely not acceptable and you should swap yours, but this will have no real consequences for Apple.

Unless Apple start to offer cover for accidental damage I would not bother
They're using multiple vendors for this generation, probably due to supply constraints: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4215/apple-ipad-2-benchmarked-dualcore-cortex-a9-powervr-sgx-543mp2/4BigNastyCurve said:
I'd guess a bad batch from one of the suppliers.

Very minor bleeding on mine in the bottom right, only visible when the screen is black. Not enough for me to consider returning it over.
BigNastyCurve said:
It happens. There was a batch of bad iMac screens last year or the year before. They got replaced. Life moved on.
Also, we know from the iFixit tear down that Apple is using a new process for gluing the screen compared to the old iPad. Could be some kinks in the process. /shrugs
giga said:
Or this. /double shrug

Not to mention these things happen in a small scale and small percentage. It only appears large because of the volume of people who bought it on day one. 100 bad screens out of 1mil isn't much.
Lets take things into count like that before we get up in arms.

It was from the screens being glued to the glass...the iPads aren't constructed that way.Tobor said:
Yeah, and for the price of AppleCare you could instead put that towards a next gen upgrade fund. You can more or less stay within the 1 year warranty at all times if you sell and upgrade every year.Keyser Soze said:
