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.

Getting stuff into iPhones/iPads is harder than it should be since Apple keeps a pretty tight grip on that sort of thing. Your best bet is to get the TV show into iTunes (or buy it on the iTunes store) and then sync to your iPad.

Ah, I'll try that! That syncing is sneaky -- yesterday at work I discovered the pad had every single piece of music I had on my computer at home! Surprised the heck out of me.
