Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

hopefully i can pick up a first gen for cheap then.

Whats he doing? Shooting Craps:r

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Just sold my recent new one on eBay to make room for a new 2.
It was gifted and only 16G with no 3G.
I have already taken up almost 14G of space and don't have half of what I would like on it.
So took a slight $100 loss and recovered 80% of the retail price, pre tax.
I'll take it.
Plenty of them on eBay. Just shop from a reputable source.

Once you have one, you are addicted.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

i want one, just don't want to spend a bunch on it

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Going for the 128GB version Carlos? :D

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

You got me.
Plus 3G while I am at it.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

As long as there are at least two available; otherwise you and I will be fighting over it :)

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

You do know that AT&T is going to allow for wifi hotspot with your iPhone in the new iOS4.3 update? Then there is no need for 3G iPad. Wifey is getting my iPad 1.0 when 2.0 hits the streets.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Are you saying they will allow tethering?

Crap, that makes me happy that I downgraded my unlimited bandwidth when I bought the latest iPhone... I didn't think they would ever bow to the pressures of allowing tethering :(

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

SERIOUS???

Just saved me $100.
Thanks.

BTW, 3/7 is still on.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

If you have a jailbroken iPhone, you can tether your iPad already.... free of a monthly charge etc etc.

Echo tethers hers to her phone using MyWi
:tu

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

3/7 or 3/2??

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

:r

3/2 for iPad.
3/7 for me in Ft. Worth.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Tony,
Just got this from the web.
Any Current iPhone customer will qualify for the $20/month Tethering option by switching to a new $25/month 2GB plan from the current $30/month unlimited data plan. So if you don’t want tethering, you can keep $30/month for unlimited data but in order to get tethering your data plan rate will increase to $45/month ($25 + $20) with a 2GB data cap.

Not sure they are doing me any favors as I currently am grandfathered into the unlimited and this seems like a lure to get you out of it.
I think I rather have the 3G seperately for the iPad but need to better digest it and see what happens in the near future as it is released.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Plus tethering through AT&T will be costly if you do it without it being unlocked and using wifi.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Not sure I want to give up my grandfathered unlimited data plan. I just wish I could add my iPad to my existing account so that I could get that plan for the iPad as well...

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

When are you coming to Portland? I'm sure I could talk Mark into letting you into his humidor during your visit :D

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Been a while since being there.
Traveling being cut back dramatically due to expenses.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I didn't really care about jailbreaking my iPhone until I got an iPad (last week.)
I may do it tonight.
Any advice?

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I am so afraid to jail break mine.
Sounds so awful.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

LOL, no the jailbreak process nowadays is extremely easy. Go to www.greenpois0n.com and download the jailbreak. Follow the instructions and you're done! Well, mostly anyway. Run the loader and it will install Cydia. Cydia is where you can find all the fun third party stuff that really makes the iPhone shine. You'll spend days exploring all the cool apps in there.

If you need any help with specifics, shoot me a PM :tu

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Sprint is trying to charge for Tethering. I don't think google liked that, so they released their own tethering app. Root your android phone and you can tether for free.

That being said... waiting just a little longer for any of the 30+ android tablets being released in the next few months.

I like apple, their products, etc. I just don't like paying the tax that goes with it. :sl

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Yes it is.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Latest credible rumor is that not only will it be introduced on Wednesday but appears they may be immediately available the latter part of the week.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Carlos , you need this for your iPad.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

BTW,
Tony,
Did you hear the latest on the iPhone 5?
4" screen v. current 3.5".

Is it Wednesday yet?

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Yes I saw that.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I have a Gen1 iPad and a Samsung Android tablet. Im really on the fence about getting the Gen2 iPAD though. I really like the iPad form factor, applications, etc. But I cant stand being tethered to iTunes. I HATE iTunes.

I guess if the predicted feature functionality is there, and it is that much better of a platform, Ill end up with a 2nd gen iPad, willing or not...

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Is it Wednesday the 2nd yet?
My culo is itching badly.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

FYI from MacRumors:

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Tony,
Just about everything I have read says the 3 for later this year will be 7" version or so, to fall in between an iPod/iPhone and the current iPad.
Would make sense given the flooding of the market with smaller size tablets.
I am wound up for the 2 regardless of what it is, even if it looks like my avatar.:r

If the 3 turns out to be better, I will just have sold my second iPad on eBay come that time.:D

BTW,
Is it Wednesday yet?

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I think this is a sure sign they will be available right away.

Thinking of getting two so I can sell one.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I am itching to get one myself. It is the one piece of mac hardware I don't own yet. And even though I have told myself countless times that I don't want one, deep down I do.

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

Of course you do Tony -- you drank the coolaid just like everyone else :ro

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I am heading to pick up my free refills.:r:r:r

Re: iPad 2 to be announced on 3/2
 

I guess I will have the 2 until September.:r
