Agreed... this doesn't seem to be an Apple issue... except the whole "in bed with" ATT problem. BUT regardless, the title is misleading... better to say.. Apple exposed itself to an exploit due to using an inferior telecom partner. Not really an "Apple" issue... as much as I love to blame Apple ( :D ), this could happen to anyone whose vendor leaves them in the lurch.

Just another reason they need to ditch AT&T exclusivity.

Some cool new stuff:

EDIT: **** that stupid i-Pad word filter. It breaks ****ing links. Can we change that back now?

It would be nice if the word filters/subs didn't affect links at all. I've had the same problem posting recipes from a greek food blog I follow that is called kalopillowbiteros. The f-a-g gets turned to pillowbiter in the url.

Here's a fun iPad turdbit for today...

Bob Dole connected his new iPad to his iMac today just to charge it, and not only would it not charge, Bob Dole was informed that OSX 10.4.11 (which works just fine, thank you) would need to be updated to 10.5.nn before Bob Dole could sync.

Yet it syncs just fine with Bob Dole's laptop which is running Windows XP SP2.

Can you use itunes on the ipad as your home computer for your ipod?

Huh? Do you mean hooking up your iPod to your iPad and syncing music? If so, then no. The iPad has no USB input to connect to. And on top of that, it's a mobile device and has a "client" version of iTunes, which is meant to connect to a "server" version of iTunes on a computer.

ok thanks, the senion citizen edition subbing in for the opad messes me up. You can get a converter for the opad that allows you to plug in a usb cable, but I didn't know if you could sync an ipod to it.

I'm pretty certain the the USB adapter kit only works with digital cameras. It will only allow import of pics and videos, no other files. Which sucks.

Still have not gotten a chance to play around with this toy and not pretty happy with my laptop at this moment. But sure that sales figures would go upwards!

Goto a Best Buy & play with it for a bit- esp. try typing on it for a few sentences. I don't think it will foot the bill as a replacement for a laptop or notebook if you're using it for business purposes & have to spend any real amount of time composing emails or documents. It's just not very good sizewise based on it's dimensions for enjoyable or noncumbersome input. As a media device & content reader it's totally fine I'd say, but I don't think it'll be replacing netbooks or laptops for a lot of business folk.

For me, if I had a iphone or ipod, I couldn't justify carrying this also when I can do all this for the most part with hardware I already own & have with me at all times already. Not to mention, the new iphone actually has the same processor as the ipad (the a4) and double the ram of the ipad compared to the new iphone ( ipad has 256 & the new iphone has 512)

I still can't understand how they didn't put in 512 into the ipad when they knew they were going to release their new phone will double that in literally a couple months. Would one think that it would be the inverse???? I guess that's why they'll sell so many in next years version & use that as an attractive selling point!

Adobe about to continue working on Flash for iPhone.

Meanwhile, only 5% of users can access Flash sites.

Seeing how 2.2 is just now coming installed on new devices... that is an understandable figure.

That SAID... the EVO ships with 2.2 now and is head and shoulders beyond the iPhone in hardware... although I will admit that it is going to take 3.0 to TRULY make Android phones a clearcut better option than iOS phones.

Regardless, unless Apple makes some major changes in the next 3 months... Android will continue to outpace.

btw... notice that the big switch to HTML5 has stagnated as I said it would... it will happen... it just isn't going to supplant FLASH anytime soon.
