No longer annoyed! Finally.

All I can say is wow! The screen is just wonderful. Wonderful. And I'm using the Siri voice dictation right now works great.

After quick playing with it, I remain impressed with the screen - and really like how iPhone apps scale - the blurriness is gone at 2X. That said, I have a few full text apps (Olive Bible Reader) that just does not look great - it definitely needs an update. Only one app so far not playing with the retina screen - and sadly that is UPad - the writing program I use. Again, I am hopeful there will be a quick update.

Fun times.

I will catch up to you guys in July. For now I am still enjoying the original.

Have fun!

This is my first foray into iPads. Really enjoying playing with the basics before deciding what to add on.

Is anyone else having problems downloading apps? I've tried to download 2 different apps in a row and all it did was hang and not download them..

 

[jrp]

I've downloaded a couple of free ones with no problems.

Poor deprived kid.

We've downloaded a free app as a test.

Going NUTS trying to get the apps from my iPhone onto her iPad. Anybody know how?

I think you just need to login to the AppStore with the same Apple account and then install purchased apps. Is that what you are asking?

If we go to purchased, it only shows what she downloaded herself. Can't see or get apps that I installed on the iphone.

Is anyone having issues with Wi-fi connections? My boss' New iPad kills our access point. I'm reading there may be issues with WPA2.

Ok, I just tried a sim card from AT&T flavored iPad 2 in my New Verizon iPad and sure enough, I got the AT&T logo! Cool!
I understand I will not be able to get LTE speeds in that case, but it did display 4G (which I think means HSPA+)!

We found the apps. I thought we could download them en masse, but we're picking them one by one to install. So it works, just not as I expected.

 

[Ilya]

You just click on the apps you want to install.

Yep. For some reason, I just couldn't get it thru my head that there wasn't a "copy all" command, so to speak.

Insanely easy. If you don't overthink it.

Guys - download the new ABC Player app. Its free.

Then select the free premiere of Missing. The show is in HD, and it is stunning. Not sure if everything from that app is going to be like that, but if it is... wow.

I actually like it that I have to do it one by one. Otherwise I would've installed so much garbage!

Ok, I'll give it a try. Once I am done with backups, moving apps, etc.

What do you guys have your brightness set? I turned off auto brightness and mine is set right at halfway. Plenty bright!
