Hand gestures

[Jeeper]

Thanks for the feedback link, I've often wondered how to share my crazy (read, "brilliant") ideas

Here's a link to Apple's iPad Feedback page. You could file a "complaint" (or maybe it's just a bug?). If enough folks make enough noise it might get their attention.


Apple - iPad - Feedback

Thank you, I've already put my concern in through a link from one of the other members, could have been you.

We need all iPad 1 owners to file a complaint, please pass the word!

i also filed a bug report through the link, since nowhere apple says that it wouldnt work on ipad1. i hope they fix it soon.

I believe the use of certain hand gestures is universal when dealing with machines made and programmed by humans. . AA

Oh, now you've done it! They'll be on our doorstep by morning! Hide the fine china and children!

oops. Sorry. I said it really nicely. You know me. I'm not rude. You guys are always telling us that we must make them aware of the power of ipadforum.net.

Ha! I was kidding of course. Hopefully everyone will make Apple aware of any issues using their feedback form.

Gestures are not the only thing missing for iPad 1s in IOS 5. They didn't include photo editing and in fact down graded the limited ability that existed. You could in the past at least rotate the photos in your imported album. After upgrading, I decided to remove my photos so I could see them in the cloud by reloading them. That was a mistake, as I quickly found out I could no longer rotate them.

I don't know what is going on with Apple, but iPad 1 users should be hopping mad at Apple for degrading their devices. Upgrades are suppose to enhance features, not remove or down grade them.

Has the update been released already?

 

[Hayles66]

Yes, lock and load Robert, lock and load. Straight to my iPad, no bypass to laptop.

Settings-general-softwareupdate. And away you go. Still playing with gestures. I'm so sad!
