Grrr mumble iPad

[thistlechaser]

It took me 35 minutes before I was finally able to reach the ever so graphics heavy Google main page. I haven't been able to successfully load a page other than that in an hour and a half. I still have the same 0-3 (generally 1 or less) bars as this morning, but suddenly no pages will load.

I have 14 days to return this thing (so 11 or so left), and I lose 10% of my purchase price if I return it. Plus postage, I'm sure, and it's a darned heavy little thing. So if I return it, I'm out about $100, plus all the time I've spent waiting and dealing with this, stressing over it, and the ever so fun trip to the mall yesterday. (Which I won't repeat, so I'll be out the $70 more for the case and special earphones.)

Mumble. I'll keep it through Friday (the end of jury duty week) and then decide over the weekend what I'm going to do. I was willing to deal with slow-as-hell loading pages, but totally not working is just pointless.

I think it's really a fun toy. If the network worked, I'd be 100% happy with it. If you're in a situation with good wifi, then I would think you'd love it. The graphics are so nice and sharp, and it's just plain cool! I'm still semi-tempted not to return it just so I can keep playing with it, but... it's awfully expensive for just a cool toy. (Wifi is cheaper than the G3 version, so that's good for you!)
