Just found this out the hard way – Safari froze on my iPad2 and I was stumped for a while, but it’s all sorted now. Open the Safari frozen page.

Apple certainly gets the customer service side right.  You can have 30 days free phone support on new purchases.  I like that – I didn’t expect to have to use it though. It fired up immediately, connected to my wireless network seamlessly and I was up and running.  So, there I was staring at it thinking it was really only a big iPhone.  Do I really need it? However, as I started to search for Apps, I realised that one of the great things about iPad2 is the Apps community.  Whenever you have a thought...

Reviewing the technology I use for work as a web developer. I’m currently awaiting the arrival of two items iPad 2 - It will be put through it’s paces and given hell in central australia.  Does that iPad know what it’s in for?  Firstly I have to say I’m very disappointed at the unethical labour apparently used by Apple to produce my iPad.  I still struggle with the fact that many of the items I enjoy today such as cheap clothing, chocolate and technology were created by people living horrible lives with few rights as workers.
