Just Bought one

[jmorris]

Jello,

I just bought an iPad 2 64GB 3G/Wifi model. Just thought it was worth buying to the top end and make some use out of. This is the first Apple device I have actually purchased and owned, coming from a PC background it all seems quite alien to doing things the Apple way. The idea of not being able to tether via blue tooth to my Android phone was enough for me to consider taking the thing back, then I read a bit more and discovered it is due to Apples's tight fisted security settings that disabled the blue tooth profile upfront.

Jailbreaking may be an eventual route I take as I have always like using unencumbered devices with the chance to weak them to how I want them. I'll be posting in the forums and reading up on what to do with the iPad 2.

James.

Hello James - welcome to the forum!

My first Apple device was the Apple II+ in 1980, but by the mid-80s I switched to PC (more a work related necessity) - last couple of years now have an older iPod (w/ my music) and since the spring of 2011, the iPad2 now upgraded to iOS5 - pretty much taking this device on the road w/ the Apple keyboard - only have the Wi-Fi option but fine for us - does take some adjustment; search the forum & post your concerns - there are plenty of 'work arounds' for the iPad, so need to give it some time!
