3G has GPS as well don't forget.

ahh good point. guess depends how often you take it out ...

Where about, I'm going blind!

I think the £100 difference with 3G and non-3G isn't worth it when you can get Mifi for £50. You can use the Mifi on your iPhone, iPad, girlfriends laptop if/when we go anywhere needing it.

Just seems the Mifi has more usage and its £50 cheaper than the 3G upgrade in the iPad!

No doesnt Apple have an official Tethering option to link to your laptop for example? I remember it was something like £15 a month or something?

Nope, Mr Jobs confirmed the iPad would not support iPhone tethering because he needs the money.

Yes and this is the iPad thread. The only way to get internet on an iPad is through wifi, or via an integrated 3G chip apple want £100 for.

Yes I realise its an iPad thread but I was curious if the iPad can be thered to an iPhone for 3G services (i.e. similar to using a MiFi) and similar to how you can tether the iPhone with a laptop.

It has now been answered that it cant so I shall no longer be commenting further on this

Already answered this twice in this thread (but it's a long thread so easy to miss). No, there is no educational discount on the iPad.

That kind of sucks

Carrying around a Mifi in my mind isn't hassle, I'd be taking a bag with me if I had my iPad so not like it's carrying round a brick all day!

Didnt realise the 3G iPad has GPS but I can't see myself using that anyway if my iPhone has it! Not going to use iPad TomTom, thats just daft

How much money will you be saving by using thress mifi though?

Compared to buying a 3g one and using a trimmed sim from o2?

"We've bought your iPad [3G 64GB], and activated it on one of the Macs in the store. Nic's currently sat outside with it using Apple's WiFi"

Better not bloody scratch it!


EDIT: They also got me a iPad dock and iPad camera connection kit. From what I'd read online the camera connection kit has been pretty much out of stock everywhere!

They landed this morning, so this evening I can haz iPad

iPad 3G 64GB, camera connection kit, iPad dock, Fossil iPad case .


Love it already!

Can you tell me if GPS works when 3G is off?

Also fancy doing some battery benchmarks?

 

[Westyfield2]

HTH

I haven't turned 3G off as such, however it's got the AT&T SIM in it (which has never been used) so it's WiFi only right now, and the GPS does work.

GPS works even with both 3G and wifi turned off.

First question (and how long have I had it?):

I want to sync my iPad with the same computer and iTunes account as my iPhone. However I do not want to have the same Apps and Photos on my iPad as I do on my iPhone (but I do want to have the same Music). Is this possible? What I'm after is having a massive list of Apps that I've bought in iTunes but being able to say 'this App I want only on iPhone', 'this App I want only on iPad', and 'this App I want on both iPad and iPhone'.



Oh, and the Fossil case smells lush ..

 

[Feek]

I've not found a good solution to that app selecting issue yet.

This is why I have beef with the greedy developers who didn't make universal apps.
