iPad

[Misfit]

I see somewhere Jobsy has said it wont tether via wifi with an iPhone I presume a jailbroken iphone would be ok ?

no reason why it wouldn't work with MyFi. The iPhone will just look like a wireless router to it.

Thats what I thought and that will be a 3g signal from the iPhone so the only thing I am losing out on is the inbuilt iPad GPS but would it be possible for MyWi to ever somehow send that info in which case you get the whole package ?

Would have thought it unlikely. I guess that will be down to jailbreakers to sort if at all?

New advert...

Deckard just as a matter of interest what would you use the gps (as opposed to your iPhone )?

[Deckard]

No I am just thinking out loud / being lazy - If I am sat on at Bristol waterfront streaming 3g to my iPad from my iPhone (and most of the waterfront these days has free council wifi) I dont really wanna piss about with having to use my iPhone for any gps based activity.

[VNVObit]

Ah, I only use the gps for cycling so iPhone is fine for that. Suppose if ARGs take off it'd be useful on iPad, but I don't have much use for more gps funtionality.

[Misfit]

I don't really care about GPS in my iPad as I see it as a home device in general really and I'm sure I'll have later iPads before any really useful location based services are around...

You swine.

Ordered!

And me (maybe later when hubby is drunk) - was it as easy as it looks ? Which did you get ?

[Cloudane]

How long til that site gets banned by the govt. or something I wonder!

Great stuff. Very tempted indeed, after all you can guarantee it won't be that cheap here.

[Deckard]

A lot cheaper than that according to Macworld in the UK -

If that is right it's going to be a lot cheaper to wait. Once you've paid the Bundle Box fee, shipping and VAT then it will be quite a lot more.

I ordered the 16GB standard one. Basically just go to the 'buy for me' page, put in the apple website, iPad, 16GB and fee shipping (to the US address) and click buy.

They notify you when it arrives in the US and you can then book the UK shipping and pay for it and VAT at that point.

UK customs won't close it down as it does all the proper import duty and VAT charging for them. Somehow they have the iPad as duty free though.

Now am I a sad enough (and possibly rich enough) to pay possibly well over an extra hundred quid to have an iPad 3 weeks early ? Ummm we'll see but def not certain at the mo...

I didn't really think it through! And the company is paying (although it's my company, so still my cash in part)

We don't know what the UK price really will be. It may be a bit closer than the above which is bascally the US price + VAT
