i think i saw something once about hooking up a gps receiver to an ipad don't know that all that trouble is worth it but hey it can be done it seems
I'd have thought using an iPad as a Satnav would be illegal(or close at least).

Neat little feature to add, but it's really not that useful overall (personally, at least).
True, but it should get a whole lot more useful with iOS 6.
I just bought one this morning, and before I even got to migrate my content I was surprised by how warm the screen's color temp was. Noticeably so, compared to my iPhone. Google yielded many similar reports, but I couldn't conclude whether it's intentional or a common issue, and whether it's a valid concern that calls for a replacement or not.
Thoughts?
Outside US Siri is overrated and unusable shit so I never really understood the hype for it

siri is the fastest/easiest way to create reminders and calendar events.
Nope.
Reminders, calendar invites, quick calling someone, etc.
All decent features.
I don't know. Pressing the phone icon and picking contacts, making reminders, or calendar events don't seem as slow as you guys may hint it is.
To each their own, I suppose.
Sparrow for iPad.What is this?
What is this?
Can someone explain what Sparrow does that makes it worth considering over the default mail client?
Email to me seems like a pretty basic system...I want to read it, I want to send it. Perhaps I'm not doing a ton of personal emails that I need any kind of crazy functionality, but I can't even fathom why I'd pay $10 for an email client when the default one does everything I could imagine.
So I keep seeing stuff about an ipad mini, is it fluff?
How much did that cost you?The AppleCare and iCloud combo is so damn useful. This happened at 10 pm last night:
Went online made apple store reservation for this morning. Within 45 minutes I'm back home with replacement iPad, backup restored and half my apps are already redownloaded. Very easy.

Went to the apple store today as well, iphone4s speaker died. Got a new one.
What,s the experience like transferring an old iDevice to a new one? Does the old one get removed from iMessages and find my phone by themselves?

Yeesh, this kinda makes me edgy, I also use my iPad 3 (naked) and I have no plans of wrapping it up in some cheap eBay/Amazon case, Sorry for this lazy question but How much is Apple care (in Canada)?
You need to buy within 30 days of when you bought the iPad, though...you can try to get it outside, they might sell it to you.Yeesh, this kinda makes me edgy, I also use my iPad 3 (naked) and I have no plans of wrapping it up in some cheap eBay/Amazon case, Sorry for this lazy question but How much is Apple care (in Canada)?
$100

Thanks, $100 is definitely a good peace of mind from a split second clumsiness: Let's just hope I can talk my way to buying one with an Apple guy, it's been more than 30 days.
Well it's all apple id specific I believe, so once that's connected you have access to any backups you have made under that ID and transfer the one you want. After the restore it asked me for any relevant passwords, including iMessage.
Under iCloud settings you can remove any backup set you want.
Thanks, yeah I figured setting up a new device is easy,I was just wondering if one had to do specific stuff to the old device. Like specifically turn off iMessages, find my phone, etc. like what happens if I get a new device, transfer my old one, and just restore the old device? Will it still be tracked and get sent iMessages? I'm recalling the little trouble they had previously with messages being sent by UUID. I guess that's sorted now though, and it always checks apple ID or something now.
Getting my first iPad next week (for father's day, ssh! it's a surprise) and have been fretting over what case to pick up. I don't want to go overboard because I look after my equipment, but it will spend some time travelling in my messenger bag (it's a very sturdy suede bag) - can anyone comment on this case?
Appreciated.
EDIT: Had also been considering this one.
Thanks for the feedback.the Moko case is great for the price. i've owned it for a few months so far and it's held up well in my messenger bag on semi-daily trips to work. it does add a bit of heft and thickness, but it protects the device well from drops and scratches. smart cover functionality works great, and all the ports and switches are easily accessible.
