Apologies if this has already been asked before, but how do people get on using it as a shared device? Reason I ask is, me and the mrs share the iPad as a sofa browser/games machine but we both have our own iPhones and user accounts on the mac.

Currently the iPad is syncd with my account so I can sync my apps etc if I wish, but what happens if she wanted to install some of her games on the iPad that are obviously associated to her account - any suggestions?

Log yourself out of the itunes account on the device, log her in, on the ipad, download the apps (will say you have bought this already so its a free download) sign her out, sign you back in, and your account can now play that game

Win.

Anyone seen the 'Be-ez LA robe Allure' sleeve for iPad2 - Looks pretty decent for a sleeve and a good price too.

Is it worth upgrading the firmware from 4.3 to 4.3.1, anyone know what the changes are?

4.3.1 -

Bug Fix Release

• Fixed graphics glitches on 4th Gen iPod Touch
• Baseband updates for the 3GS and iPad (original)
• Fixed memory hang that results in memory corruption when reading large files from USIM filesystem
• Fixed problem with NTLM authentication in apps and on websites
• Fixed issue with the Springboard and 3rd party apps not recognizing the gyroscope on the iPad 2
• Resolves bugs related to activating and connecting to some cellular networks
• Fixes image flicker when using Apple Digital AV Adapter with some TVs
• Resolves an issue authenticating with some enterprise web services
• Changes the behaviour of the battery percentage

It shouldn't cause you any problems, just help to fix any that 4.3 itself caused.

4.3.1 -

On these forums in the reply box, there's no scroll box. Is there anyway to scroll down in the message box. It's very annoying having to press the down arrow half a million times to extend the reply box.

 

[Cavallino]

Use two fingers to scroll up and down in the reply box AH2.

 

[Glaucus]

Sorry need a bit more help two fingers zoom?

 

[Cavallino]

You know how you use 1 finger to scroll up and down, instead of 1 finger, use two fingers as such:

The pic is a trackpad one, but its the same princpal.

(Sorry didnt have time to upload as proper picture to imageshack so linked instead).

 

[Glaucus]

Thank you that makes life so much easier, would have never figured that out.

 

[Cavallino]

Pleasure.

This just arrived today for when I'm on my travels:

It's a Be-ez LA Robe Allure sleeve. Memory foam outer with a soft fleece inner, also inner protection from the zipper. Fits nicely with and without the Smart Cover. Very pleased for £21.99

For those of you that want a back protector for the ipad 2, I found a nice leather look skin that covers most of the back.

The deep black version looks really nice and should go well with the black smart cover.
