Traveling being cut back dramatically due to expenses.

Echo tethers hers to her phone using MyWi

I didn't really care about jailbreaking my iPhone until I got an iPad (last week.)
I may do it tonight.
Any advice?

I am so afraid to jail break mine.
Sounds so awful.

LOL, no the jailbreak process nowadays is extremely easy. Go to www.greenpois0n.com and download the jailbreak. Follow the instructions and you're done! Well, mostly anyway. Run the loader and it will install Cydia. Cydia is where you can find all the fun third party stuff that really makes the iPhone shine. You'll spend days exploring all the cool apps in there.

If you need any help with specifics, shoot me a PM :-)

Sprint is trying to charge for Tethering. I don't think google liked that, so they released their own tethering app. Root your android phone and you can tether for free.

That being said... waiting just a little longer for any of the 30+ android tablets being released in the next few months.

I like apple, their products, etc. I just don't like paying the tax that goes with it.

Latest credible rumor is that not only will it be introduced on Wednesday but appears they may be immediately available the latter part of the week.

Yes I saw that.

I have a Gen1 iPad and a Samsung Android tablet. Im really on the fence about getting the Gen2 iPAD though. I really like the iPad form factor, applications, etc. But I cant stand being tethered to iTunes. I HATE iTunes.

I guess if the predicted feature functionality is there, and it is that much better of a platform, Ill end up with a 2nd gen iPad, willing or not...

Is it Wednesday the 2nd yet?
My culo is itching badly.

FYI from MacRumors:

The Apple staffer declined to give details about the iPad 2 or 3, but said:

"For the iPad 2 don't get your hopes up too high. That's all I'm going to say. They've had a number of problems along the way, and the third-generation iPad is the one to make a song and a dance about."

Tony,
Just about everything I have read says the 3 for later this year will be 7" version or so, to fall in between an iPod/iPhone and the current iPad.
Would make sense given the flooding of the market with smaller size tablets.
I am wound up for the 2 regardless of what it is, even if it looks like my avatar.:-)

If the 3 turns out to be better, I will just have sold my second iPad on eBay come that time.:-)

BTW,

[Reply]

I think this is a sure sign they will be available right away.

Thinking of getting two so I can sell one.

I am itching to get one myself. It is the one piece of mac hardware I don't own yet. And even though I have told myself countless times that I don't want one, deep down I do.
