[iPad] Re: Hotspot feature

 

I have a MiFi from AT&T that will handle 10 devices at a time. $30 a month for 5G added to my bill. I could have done it with my iPhone but would have lost my grandfathering for unlimited data. I love it and take it out when I want to use my iPad, which is often. It is about the size of an iPhone. So far I have only powered 5 at a time.

Re: [iPad] iPad addiction and withdrawal - why Apple's tablet dominatesAppleTell

 

If you are considering a backup battery you need to evaluate if you are the type of person who will keep it charged (I will forget) or have a automatic system in place. My experience with hurricanes is that I just charge things in my car. I have been tempted to set up my Prius so it can charge my house.

Our power outages have historically occurred on 3 occasions:
Blizzards/ice storms, hurricanes, severe thunderstorms.

In general the next day is clear and sunny, and often the same day, within hours of the event.

I bought a 150 Watt inverter for my car which cost me less than $20.

If you live where there are frequent power outages, it could be sensible to keep a good-sized backup battery fully charged.  It could be used every day as a power conditioner for a laptop or desktop, then when the power grid fails, it could be used only to feed the iPad or iPhone.

How can I figure out how much backup capacity would give you me much iPad time?  Must be a simple equation, but I'm clueless.

When you know a big storm is coming --
load some content onto the iPad!

I don't see a problem except for over-dependence on the presence of
cloud-access.

Maybe such hardships as writer reported are a good reminder to have a backup
plan for off-line working; he appears to have a backup plan for power-outage
situation.

I don't have a generator (I live in a city condo apt) but I do have backup
batteries for emergency recharging, and if a storm is headed here I make
sure everything is charged up, synced, & content-loaded!

What is the button above the volume buttons?  The button you slide to cover the orange dot or not.   I can't find anything on it and can't seem to see that is does anything when in either position.   Thanks

Thanks,  I did find the following on the web.  At the top of the first picture I can see 5 devices connected to the iPad at the same time.

Goal Zero makes a line of great solar/battery chargers and the batteries for smart phones and tablets. You can charge their battery packs with AC or charge from your car. When all else fails their little solar panels (about the size of an iPad) will charge their batteries which in turn can be used to charge your device. The solar panel will charge your device directly as well, but since some smartphones and tablets don't like anything but perfect power, you plug the battery into the solar cell and plug your device into the battery. Sounds complicated, but it's not.

 

Their Guide 10 does the job quite nicely for me. http://www.goalzero.com/p/79/guide-10-plus-solar-kit It can be used to charge a variety of devices although for an iPad you need their Sherpa 50. It is quite a bit more, but works very well and in absence of regular power for several days and no car (no gas) to charge from it will do very nicely.

 

REI carries them and they do road shows at Costco frequently with special deals. You can buy direct from Goal Zero, but can usually find a little better prices elsewhere.
