Does your DH know he has a strange woman masquerading as his wife Gretchen?

Well done rainbow. That is great. You will go crazy taking photos now.

I have really taken to audio memo. Much fun sitting  and talking to,your friends on your  iPad. Then send by email and they can listen and reply at their leisure .

Rainbow don't forget you can message friends with I devices and include photos as well.  My DD just bought the mini and wanted a cover so I went to a shop took a photo, messaged  it to her and she said yes all within a minute or two. Too easy.

Good to download  iPad tips and tricks from the App Store. One free and the other paid and worth whatever it was because you can always refer to it. I use it frequently.

For new iPad owners I recommend two apps  ABC iView  for watching what you missed or ignored on the ABC . Good for when there is nothing on TV. Also  BBC iplayer. The free version gives you some good stuff from the BBC but the subscription  for one year was a great buy as my DH can always find something to watch in bed when he can't sleep. Well he says he can't sleep but I hear snoring!

I can  also recommend the Apple  TV for around $100 for watching anything on your iPad or iPhone  on your normal TV. Easy and neat.

We have been watching some French and Saunders specials which are a lot  of fun.

Can I put on an avatar from my iPad  ???
I have no idea whether I can do this or not  ;)


Ummmm. I think you can . Go to your profile choose forum profile info ..... I will upload my own photo then choose one in your photos on your iPad. Or take one with  your iPad.

Gert


Hasn't worked for me as the box that says choose file after selecting "I will upload my own picture" isn't highlighted m :(
