[iPad] I've been struggling to learn my iPad well enough to actually use it.

 

I have the .pdf manual on my PC but the thing is so difficult to use. Probably the fault of the reader.

The print is small so I use Control + to increase text but that doesn't last when I change pages. So by the time I have read a couple of pages I just get tired and quit.


The only apps I have figured out are:

Camera and Photo booth, maps, mail, and Settings, to some extent.


I open calendar expecting to be able to enter information but keyboard doesn't open nor is there an icon to click to open it. Same thing wit reminders.


I'd like to get rid of some app icons from the home page, I don't expect to ever use Music or Video. There's an item called utilities and it has clock on it.

Why can't I get a simple, central time click instead of that world clock? I don't care what time it is in Timbuktu.


One reason I forget some of the things I HAVE learned is that I just get tired of looking and not being able to do anything with the very expensive device that I can't really use,


Jim

Re: [iPad] nytimes article on tim cook

 

Odd

Its like praising the person who invented the car, then criticising that same person as we still have just cars, that have just evolved.

I dare anyone to name a new and innovative product in the smart devices category, its all been done. Phones have been done, tablets, smart watches, all been done.

Its now about innovating these devices to be more useful. Apples foray into the HomeKit is one innovation, centralising the many many protocols that already exist into one seamless product/service to use them all. Not a new product or service, juts a better means to implement it

Michael A. Cusumano, a professor in the Sloan School of Management at M.I.T., said he thought Apple no longer had the juice to create the world-beating product it needs. Professor Cusumano, who is working on a book about innovation, visited Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., last fall and has talked to a half-dozen current and former employees about the company culture. He concluded that Apple without Mr. Jobs lacks a visionary to synthesize disparate ideas into a magical whole.
"Jobs would figure out how to put the pieces together," Professor Cusumano said. "Everything just filtered through his eyes."
"I think it's going to be very difficult for them to come up with the next big thing," he added. "They've lost their heart and soul."

Re: [iPad] Safari cache?

 

I went to the bottom of the slashdot.org page and switched to Desktop Site. Then, I added the page I was looking at to the Reading List (using the square box with an up arrow through the top of it). Finally, I switched to Airplane Mode, brought up my Reading List (first hit the open book symbol, then the glasses symbol), and selected the slashdot page I wanted to read.

Anyway to get safari to cache pages so that I can read them offline? Or is this a job for another browser? (Or any other solution?)

Re: [iPad] Consumer Cellular

 

They say they use ATT coverage.  Right now I am with ATT and so far am happy enough.

Re: [iPad] Consumer Cellular

 

What I have read is that they have the same coverage as ATT, which seems to be pretty good in my area.
