Re: [iPad] Electronics and cold
Hi, Patrick:
I've been Iowa under similar circumstances. I'd suggest that you take your gps for the night. Also, your iPad and any other goodies that use semiconductors.

After our recent discussions on this subject I find myself in Iowa with a portable auto GPS. It's predicted to be 4 F tomorrow night. Is it necessary that I take the unit into the hotel for the night? Patrick G.

No, but it will work somewhat better and faster in the morning if you do.

Re: [iPad] Next best thing
The iPad can read books downloaded from the public library. It just takes a few more steps to set it up-like adding Bluefire Reader, Dropbox, and getting the Adobe Digital Edition with an Adobe user name and password-all of which are free.

I think the problem for many of us is that we are
unable to obtain library ADE books on loan because
of the lack of the Adobe Flash. Makes no sense to
me. Seems that companies just don't have a great
interest in users of their eReaders being able to
borrow from public libraries. A sad but true
comment I suspect.

>> "One of the oddest aspects of the Galaxy Tab browser," Sencha reports, "is its CSS pixel to device pixel ratio. When queried in landscape mode, the Galaxy reports a screen.width of 683px and screen.height of 334px. Since the actual device resolution offers 1024×600, it's giving us a 1.5× ratio of device to CSS pixels. This is a little bit of an odd choice since there shouldn't be any reason why it can't offer a 1:1 device-to-CSS-pixel ratio (or even just match the iPhone/Nexus One convention of a 320 pixel device.width — which would give it a 1.875 ratio). This makes the Galaxy slightly bigger than a regular phone screen in CSS pixels, but not really big enough to handle what people want to put in a tablet screen."

For example, an iPad-style side-navigation section just won't fit on the screen. We think it's probably best to treat it as a phone with big pixels rather than a true tablet."

In low-quality mode, it turns off anti-aliasing (presumably on the theory that since things are moving, you won't notice the quality degradation.) This would be less noticeable on a smaller device. But on the 7″ Galaxy Tab, the resulting pixelation is striking, particularly since it switches to low-quality mode as soon as it detects a touch start event (but before anything moves)."
