Sorry, didn't realise what thread I was in, the above is (currently, of course) only appropriate to iPhone.

Kind of forgot myself

Going to have to hook up my iPad and update all the apps one of these days - roll on wireless syncing!

Ah, cool - last I saw they hadn't got it working on the iPad yet.

That's getting purchased in the near future.

I heard it was too slow to be usable. How you finding it?

Not got time to look at the moment, but will later if it's free.

First comment left on that link:

A classic case of design trumping usability; one story is visible and the rest are displayed unreadably warped while most of the screen is wasted and dark. And it's not even original - I think I've seen this many times before, most recently on the Wii

Why? You can update everything over Wifi just as easily. Backing up my 64GB iPad takes forever so I hate to do it.

... I don't know actually, since I use MobileMe so there's only really music and photos to sync. It just seems sort of "wrong" to have all the versions of things out of sync

I managed to grab an nice iPad today on the release in Belgium, and my, my, it's a glorious piece of kit. Silly as it may sound, I have the impression that I am handling a piece from the future

And now I'll have to explore the AppStore, see how I can this thing to figure out where I am, and play some games... I tried out Real Racing HD and Pinball, and I cannot believe what I am holding in my hands

I'm definitely sold! And now I can try out to figure out how to program this thing (I bought an IMac a few weeks ago so I should have the correct piece of kit to create some code).

The future looks bright

(And yes, this was posted from my iPad)

Probably a stupid question which i think the answer is yes but just want to double check please. I have a friend going to the states in a couple of weeks and was going to ask them to bring me back a 3G iPad as it works out cheaper than getting one here. I presume it will work fine over here in the uk on a 3g contract with one of the uk providers and their micro sim.
Thanks in advance

Usually I'd say "no, this is locked in to AT&T" but I think the iPad is the exception.

See here

The USA iPad are not locked to AT&T or any carrier. If the place you are going has a provider (and uSIM) for data plans it will work. Some people, but not all, have reported having to re-sync after changing uSIMs.

Take that, overpriced iPad stand market:





How did people make things before Lego?
