  • Has anyone here actually bought FileMaker Go for the iPad yet and, if so, how well does it work? I'm tempted but the purchase price is pretty steep for an app.

  • I'm finding that 4 hours is about the right time to fully charge it. I charge the iPad once the battery indicator is in the low 20s%. Since the original post in this thread was on 6/12 one hopes that the original problem has been resolved.
  • Although I originally hadn't considered it, I ended up going with the Apple Airport Extreme. It replaced my ancient wired router that was a speed bottleneck and the old pre n Airport Express that was also in the system. I was originally on a slo…
  • I have two bags, an incase Slip Sleeve Plus which is a simple light weight sleeve type bag that, while not ideal-- too tight and difficult to close over the iPad-- is functional, and as of today a Waterfield SleeveCase-Ultimate-Horizonal, which for …
  • I bought one this morning at the Lynnwood Apple Store. It was the last one they had on display. My Sandisk 7 in 1 (or is 9 in 1) card reader draws too much power when using the USB connector to the iPad and won't work with it, which is disappoint…

  • Mine arrived at 10:20 AM PDT. The driver said that mine was his first delivery of the day and there were a bunch more of iPads in the truck, He also said that they had an additional 50 drivers working today. I've unpacked it but won't have a chan…

  • There's also a thread in the main iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad forum that someone has received a shipping notice and tracking number. In his case, the iPad is coming from China. So I guess we should be watching our email.
  • My 64GB iPad pre order is also showing prepared for shipping as of this AM. Unfortunately, I think I'm in an area with no Saturday delivery so it'll probably be April 5 for me.
