There's a setting under the apps menu on file sharing with apps. The VLC app will walk you through it.

I have no idea why the multitask panel isn't working. It's supposed to work fine on 4.0. Works fine on my 3rd gen pod.

VLC looks like it downsamples the hell out of any video I put on it. Makes everything extremely poor quality, also, I just put the blu-ray quality version of Avatar on it, and it plays it at like... 0.1 fps...

You should have won a TV at your party like my dad did ;] rofl.

I heard the iPad was a PoS, but I didn't know it was THAT much of a PoS :P unfortunate, but at least you got it for free and didn't actually pay for it :/

[darkshark]

Yeah I tried winning the TV's last night, 42" and 37" Vizio's, I would have greatly preferred either one. They had like 20k worth of prizes, I only tried for these 3 items.

[Zageron]

ds you should hold a competition for it.

Just jailbreak the ****er and sell it for $100 more than base price.

The iPad's a stupid piece of **** unless you jailbreak it, but at this point you'd be better off with selling it for the cash before they announce to the ipad 2 or what the **** ever they're going to call it. Use that $600 or so dollars to buy a good android phone or something.

Just install frash. Wala, flash support.

[LoveHurts67]

t-rogdor beat me to it, I was gonna say jailbreaking it. It's what I did with my iPad and I can run flash now

Of course, there's cracks and unofficial patches you can apply to the iOS ... but most of them are buggy and will hinder more than help.

Is it just me, or is Apple taking tips from Microsoft?

Try to load Droid on it :3 I am sure there is a way if it has any type of storage media you should be able to load any *nix on it.

After doing 30 seconds of reading... THe ipad is glorrifed iphone hardware ROFL it uses single core arm based cpu with integrated gpu so I doubt there will be an easy OS solution. EBay it.

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

rofl Ipads

[freekilltwo]

i would have either sold it for a new pair of snowboard bindings and goalie catch glove or used it to work on my slapshot, not sure which but i hate ianything, my sandisk mp3 player did everything that the ipod nano did when it came out (back when i had my old one) and it even had stuff that the nano didnt, but people said their ipods were better cuz of the name on them...

[darkshark]

The only outright redeeming quality I see in this thing is the battery life. It's ridiculously amazing, I've had movies playing on it all day long at full volume and screen brightness and it's still at 65% battery remaining after 7+ hours of use, and it came with a 90% charge out of the box, never charged it.

Actually, if you hold out and wait a bit, a group of people are working on porting openiboot (an open source bootloader for iDevices) to the ipad and iphone 4. You could, in theory, keep the ipad as an android tablet.


Although, I'm not sure if it has the android market. The previous builds of iDroid have lacked the app market.






But you could always just sell the ipad and buy another S Tablet lmfao.

[darkshark]

Actually I might do that. Those Galaxy Tabs look pretty sweet, I'd jailbreak this pad first, they go for around $650 if they're jailbroken, perfect amount for a Galaxy.

[Kibblre]

You know there's a good quality tablet running Android, right? I totally agree with you, Android destroys iOS.

[darkshark]

Which tablet might that be? I definitely DON'T want one with a resistive touch screen, 95% of the tablets/phones on the market are resistive. Capacitive is where it's at. Hence wanting the Galaxy Tab.
