My cousin is telling me that a tech can't find the hookup on her iPad to get her online via cell service. What are they talking about? Do they sell iPads that can't be activated for cell service? If they do, would they then have models that need something external and can't support it? That sounds suspiciously like fragmentation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey. New board.
They do sell iPads that are Wifi only. The cell-capable models are more expensive. There shouldn't be anything to plug in, for any of them - either they have it built in, or they don't.

Yes there is 3G service for iPad, but the setup is often in store at the apple store or AT&T/Verizon.

Okay, so this woman who's saying she can't find where to plug it in--she's full of shit. If my cousin's iPad can't get cell, she's permanently SOL. My cousin is being told she's missing a port or something.
Thanks.

No port at all. You need to have phone service and iTunes to activate it.

Jessica,
re: your chrome problems, I think you need to download Chrome Beta. Which apparently is not the browser I was using on this computer. I'm downloading it now.

Okay, I'm annoyed by my Kindle Fire. I can't use a mini-USB cable to connect to it. WTF. How am I supposed to port stuff over onto it?

With a micro USB cable?

... which was not included with my Kindle. I knew Amazon didn't want people putting anything different on the machine, but this is ridiculous.

It's one of the ways they are hitting the low price point. They don't include the cable. On the Kindle Touch they don't include the power adapter.
