Is this for legitimate downloads. I don't want to get a virus on my iPad 2.
If it's in the Apple App Store then it's ligitimate.
The iPad cannot get viruses, so no need to worry..
Apple took the decision to 'sandbox' the programs (apps) in the iPad. This means that apps have only a very limited ability to interact - and this interaction is *absolutely* controlled by the operating system (iOS). So if you tried to write a 'virus' program for the iPad it would have no effect, because it couldn't interact with any other program or the operating system.
That, inevitably, has other consequences and places restrictions on what programs can do. In Windows, for example, applications (programs) can interact and this can be very useful. So some (clever) programmers found a way to 'jail break' the iPad and remove this restriction (effectively 'jailbreaking' means your iPad can 'run' non-Apple approved apps from the Cydia website, where they make such non-approved apps available). They can now run 'unauthorised' apps on the iPad that 'take advantage' of the removal of this restriction. The downside - technically a 'jail broken' iPad could be vunerable to viruses.
But don't worry - a 'regular' (non jail broken) iPad is not vunerable to any 'viruses' that a deviant programmer might write to 'infect' a jail broken iPad. So your IT manager need have no worries - if your iPads are not 'jailbroken' they are absolutely safe from viruses.
Basically, if you accept the restrictions that Apple place on your iPad and don't jail break, you're completely safe - a virus cannot 'infect' you.
Additionally, any 'app' that a normal (non-jail broken) iPad can download will have been thoroughly checked and approved by Apple, so could not contain any malevolent code...
OK - I'll get 'hacked' by the iPad 'jail breakers' - sorry for the 'pun' but, basically, you're safe.
Apple have a number of 'white papers' and other documents on their web site that address this issue if you'd like the links...

Thanks Tim. I fly back to the UK tomorrow so will try it out there. Is it worth the 59p though ???
I use oPlayer so I'm not familiar with this particular app. Crackle from Sony, though, is being well received by many members.

oplayer is £2.99. Wow. I use cinexplayer and vlc media player. Both are fantastic and were free when I downloaded them onto my iPad 1. Anyone know why apple removed vlc media player yet allow programs like cnexplayer which does much the same thing ?
