The iPad is definitely a pretty slick product, as long as you are happy with the way it does things. If you don't like it, you're out of luck. You can't fix it. For example: The ONLY out-of-the-box way to import photos to an iPad is through a connected PC (Windows or Mac, not Linux) running iTunes. You can buy an app to transfer photos from another computer over wifi - it runs a web server on the ipad and you upload photos from the other computer through a browser. It's fairly painful, though. Not elegant. If you tried something like plugging the ipad's usb cable into a linux computer, and dragging photos onto the ipad's filesystem, the photos do get copied, but the ipad won't recognize them! Anyway... Apple locks down the iPad pretty tight, which makes for a robust but very inflexible system. Beware. If you like the freedom of Linux, you may chafe at the restrictions in the iPad. - Mike -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
