Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I'll tell you what I do on an ipad that has my full attention:
reading pdfs. I use iAnnotate and that is pretty good for annotating pdfs (highlighting, comments, etc.). I don't get too distracted doing that.
I haven't tried reading a whole book, I still like other means for that.
I like that the e-ink products aren't backlit; that'll mean they qualify as not screen-time for the before bedtime screentime deadline.
Curious, le nubian is that for work or fun?
work exclusively.
Goodreader on the iPad has just added full PDF markup in the latest version. I love me my Goodreader.
Jessica, It could be that the G5 PRAM battery is going out. I'm thinking that it can't take the full load of demands on ti, so it shuts off.
OTOH? Have you tried the cables one at a time?
Can you plug the cables directly into the computer instead?
Otherwise, I got nothing. Hmmm...
It looks like the iPad will be able to mulit-task come November. Does anyone know if this will mean an upgrade to the existing ones, or a new version? It wasn't clear to me on the website.
It will be a free upgrade to existing iPad owners.
It's just the upgrade to iOS4 that will do it Brenda. It is all software.

ND, I tried this last night and (please correct me if I'm wrong) I did some highlighting of text and I think they still have some kinks to work out. What I found is that when I transferred the document to my mac and looked at my annotations with preview, the highlighting covered the words (as opposed to highlight!).
I also found that it was more difficult to do the physical highlighting in Goodreader.
