You should look at pf2 again. Very similar to laminar.

It's an issue with this new Ipad. I read about it online somewhere. You'll be hearing more about it.

The issue that is all over online is the the operating temp of the iPad running hotter than previous generations.

I'm talking about the physical charger.

Funny Consumer reports noted that the new iPad can't charge under heavy loads.

Example they were running infinity blade II and the device was using more power than the 10w charger can provide...

Call Paypal. Password: bacondoublecheeseburger.




But, that doesn't seem right. Maybe they had a defective product?

Well if that's the case then I'll just make sure not to put the charger near anything that could cause it to catch fire.

I wonder how hot people's iPads are getting? I mean mine only gets very very slightly warm after extensive web "browsing"

It has a long way to go to get as hot as my iPhone 4 gets/is right now... (just noticed how hot the back of my 4 is right now)

Somebody with one sit in a tub of water and report: 1) how waterproof the device is, and 2) how warm does the charger get.

No, unless you got malware from cydia. But I've not heard of anything on there either. Something probably got corrupt probably caused by the JB or something you installed from cydia. never had it happen to me but it's always a possibility when JBing.

Actually my iPhone 3G won't boot, I put bootlace on it so I can dual-boot android and iOS and when I was trying to update the mobile substrate from cydia iOS crashed twice during install and now if freezes when it boots, I'm gonna have to put it into DFU mode and do a restore.

amazon.com has up their offers for iPad2's. I just got offered $380.00 for a like new 32g Blk wifi. Packed up and ready to go. Of course it's a amazon.com gift card, but I already have it spent in my head. And I have to hope they give me top dollar, but the damn thing looks brand new.

Is it really necessary to have 3 clocks tell you the time???

That's one widget I turned off on android. Never understood why someone needs a clock widget when there is a clock already on the bottom right...
