Using my wifi at home
Why do I have to enter my password on my iPad several times while I use my wifi at home? It would happen when I am in the middle of writing emails or while I am reading websites.

What will the internal storage options be for the next iPad?
Historically, the iPad has had 6 models - three different storage options (16, 32, 64) for WiFi only and three for WiFi + 3G. With the introduction of iCloud and especially the iTunes component of iCloud, will Apple just continue making models with the same amounts of storage space (maintaining the 16 GB base model would be cheaper for Apple)? Or will they bump the storage sizes to 32, 64, and 128?

iPad's low RAM starts to show its limits
When I first got my iPad 1, it was a great device. But now, after the iPad 2 and OS updates, it's starting to show its age. Now the A4 chip is a great chip, and still is. But now everytime I browse to a page like theverge, even as a single page (no multiple pages on tabs), safari would crash. I see countless low memory logs on the diagnostic queue. Switching apps is sluggish. Even worse, iBooks. Loading takes forever, and loading a book can crash the app easily. Funny thing is, my iPhone 4,...

Do you think individuals should be allowed to Root/Jailbreak?
The US Copyright Office in 2010, stated Jailbreaking iOS devices is legal. Now this exemption is running out. I would like to hear what you think about rooting or jailbreaking. I'm doing some research of my own and want any information, whether you oppose Jailbreaking/Rooting or you're in favor, I want to know. Please be as detailed as possible when replying, so that your comment is not misconstrued.
The upcoming iPad 3
A number of sources are speculating that the new iPad 3, which is expected to be announced within the next two months, could possibly see an increase in resolution, a new processor, thinner and lighter design, and an improved camera.

iphone/ipad calendar not syncing via icloud
We are having problems getting our calendars to sync. Data will be entered into the calendar and it is supposed to automatically sync to our other devices via icloud. So far, it is syncing the other information (address book, notes etc), just not the calendar. The Apple salseman thinks it has to do with a setting in our firewalls and says we will need to call the IT guys out here to adjust the firewalls. He says this will have to be done every time we add a new device. Is he just trying to get...

Stylus+App Combo for PDF annotation on the iPad?
Hey guys, I'm looking for recommendations for a good combo for my iPad of a stylus + PDF annotation app. I am looking for a combo that will let me efficiently and comfortably enter handwritten notes on PDFs. Any ideas? I must say that I have already seen several styluses which didn't seem good enough for accurate handwriting (I want to carefully write notes on top of a PDF - not just write some free form text), so I'm wondering if it's even a realistic expectation from the iPad...

Is it possible to take notes in class with an ipad?
Hello.
I would like to know if it is possible... well it probably is, but is it possible to efficiently take notes in class with an ipad. I know you can get one of those bluetooth keyboards which might help, but I'm an engineering student. I have to deal with writing greek letters and other symbols plus drawing circuit symbols, graphs, etc. My instincts tell me this is just not gonna work; wishful thinking. But there's a whole world of techies on gdgt!
I hate paper because I can never keep myself... Read more →

Updating an iPad in a remote location (no connectivity)
I'm visiting my Gram in a few weeks - she lives in "middle America", in a region with no broadband but a pretty good cell signal. She has (and loves) an iPad 1 I gave her last year. She can't update most of the apps, however, because they won't update over the 3G signal. I'm trying to figure out the best way to update it when I visit - any ideas? I am thinking a clean install of iTunes on a Mac laptop that I will sync with her iPad when I arrive, but can I download iOS5 and the new versions of...

Receiving iMessages on multiple devices
So we had a question (http://gdgt.com/question/imessage-how-to-properly... about this a while ago but I just found some new information. gdgt won't let me answer a question multiple times so I made a new discussion thread for it.
First, make sure that on your iPhone you can receive messages at both your phone number AND your email address.
Now, if you go to Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID, you can set your Caller ID... Read more →

What are the issues that bother you the most regarding iOS 5? (we'll try getting Apple to fix them!)
So iOS 5 is out. Personally I like it a lot. Seems to me that this is also the general sentiment (aside of some initial traffic overload problems).
Anyway, there's no denial that iOS 5 still has some rather serious issues in it.

iOS 5 on Original iPad
I didn't load iOS 5 on my iPad 1 yet. I wanted to get some feedback from you all before I did. Is it sluggish like the iPhone 3G was with iOS 4? Thanks.

Slowing mobile innovation?
I don't think I'm alone if I say that, compared to 2010 with its breakneck pace of innovation in the mobile industry, 2011 has been a bit of a let down. It seems almost hard to believe now, but at the beginning of 2010, the most advanced phones on the market were the original Droid and the iPhone 3GS, and the tablet market didn't even exist yet.
Yet by the end of the year, Google had become the dominant mobile OS, Apple had launched both the iPhone 4 and the iPad, HP bought Palm, and Microsoft... Read more →

Similar Tablet Designs
There's a New York Times blog post about how the design of the original Kindle was based on the Blackberry. The author then goes on to point out how the new Kindle Fire appears to be based on the design of the iPad.
Is it just me, or is it impossible to avoid basing a tablet device on the iPad. It's just a screen. With a border. What other options are there? (Except for a triangle shaped tablet, of course)

Would you replace your TV with an iPad?
For about two weeks now, I've been living without a TV and I have to say, I don't really miss it at all. Now that I have an iPad with apps like HBO Go, Netflix, Hulu, and a bunch of websites that allow video playback, I don't really have a need for a TV. I'm finding that the tablet form factor is a pretty good experience watching TV and movies solo (foreveralone), but it's also not too bad with other people. I just saw today that Elgato is releasing a TV tuner called the EyeTV Mobile that plugs...

Worst iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad cases?
This is a bit of a random question, but after seeing this over at engadget: http://www.strapya-world.com/products/45835.html I just had to ask: What is the worst case for an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad that you have seen or used?
