iPad Review – the Future of Computing?
Let’s get this out of the way: the iPad is more than just a big iPod Touch, and I’m going to write my entire review on it. Yes, I’m one of those who thinks that the iPad may just be some sort of new device that defies current definitions of what a computer could or should be. Is it perfect? Of course not. But it is pretty damn cool, and I think you’ll see, it’s potentially the perfect fit for you.
iPad: Fix YouTube App; Connect to iTunes at Boot
Before I get into any of this, a word of warning: Windows users, this probably won’t help you (assuming you even have these issues to begin with). For the Mac users still reading, if you’re experiencing the “Cannot connect to YouTube” error in the YouTube app, or experiencing the “Connect to iTunes” graphic every time you boot your iPad, then you may be in luck as I stumbled onto the “fix” this morning while on the phone with an iPad product specialist (one of those Senior Support guys). Also, this is likely affecting a small group of users, so I fully admit this may not be entirely applicable to you, but hey, it worked for me. Oh, and I’ll include a possible fix for the wifi not automatically rejoining networks.
iPad First Impressions
So I installed the WordPress app on my iPad and here I am, just typing away on the iPad to give some first impressions on what has been called the Jesus Pad. Is it anywhere near as cool as the rabid Apple fanboys would have you believe? Is it really a “magical and revolutionary” device as Steve Jobs would have you believe? Based on my first 30 minutes with it, I’m going to have to say if it isn’t, it’s pretty damn close.
