iOS 4.2.1 Is Here!

The iPad is becoming the device it was meant to be with this latest software update from Apple. Multitasking, AirPrint and the ability to manage applications in Folders, all combine to make iPad a much more productive system. When you add AirPlay to the mix, which enables audio streaming from iPad to Airport devices, and audio+video streaming to the new Apple TV, things really start to get fun.

Farmville gets a welcome update

I am in off the road, and happy to report that Farmville for the iPad is now Farmville HD. No more 2X display of a low res iPhone app. It even supports screen rotation. It is so much easier to navigate the screen. It is still somewhat frustrating that certain things can only be done on a full size computer running Flash.





The new Orchard sits empty and unusable on iPad. Many gifts are not useable, although now it appears that they do not even show up. I have not tried Farm All yet, but tractors , seeders and harvesters do work.

Fertilize All, FarmHands and Arborists still require a non iPad visit to your Farm. Give it a try though, as it is still a welcome improvement.

Professional looking iPad Case

I finally found a leather folio case, that has an integrated stand that does not make it look like a repurposed picture frame. Room for business cards, receipts, and my boarding pass. Having used a Convertible Book Jacket case for several months now, I also am enjoying the lack of bulk, with no slipping iPad problem either.

Welcome To Starbuck's Digital Network

Free WiFi! Declared in bakeries, hotels, motels, airports, car washes........what they should usually say is Free Dog Slow WiFi. I can't tell you how many times I have just turned WiFi off, or forget the network, in order to force a 3G connection, which with AT&T isn't that great. Imagine my surprise when getting a decent connection while at Starbuck's in Portland. Granted, they may not all have decent throughput, but it was unexpected nonetheless.
