Ok gang just got my first iPad for Christmas and slowly figuring everything out. Here are the questions I have so far:
1. Is there an app that I can use as a timer to lockdown the screen after X minutes such that it won't unlock until I enter a password? I want to be able to let my 4 year old do some educational games without watching the clock and just have it lock the screen when her time is up.
2. Which calendar do you all suggest that will sync between my iPad, my hubby's iPad, our Android based phones and his Mac for work (I'm not sure if Mac laptops typically come with their own calendar or if he's using Outlook). We need to be able to coordinate family calendars quickly and easily. Bonus points if the app will also allow me to sync grocery/to do lists between my Android phone and my iPad without an additional app.
3. What other rugged cases do you recommend besides the Otterbox?
4. Is there a legal way to share apps with my hubby without blowing away my own? He has an iTunes acct for his Mac and iPad which is primarily stuff for his work but he also has a few apps I want. I have mainly the kid apps and a few videos that we also want on his iPad for the kids but don't want to pay twice. I've read suggestions to merge into one iTunes account which won't work as well due to some of his apps being for work but is it legal to authorize my computer with his iTunes ID and download what I want then sync to my iPad and retain my own? And vice versa with my iTunes account onto his Mac and his iPad? Want to make sure that it would be legal as well as not blowing away the apps that we've already purchased/loaded onto our respective iPads (and also my iPod touch). We're not worried about having to log onto 2 accounts to keep apps up to date as that's not a complicated process (just switch the Apple ID in settings on the iPad right?!)
Thanks and look forward to learning via the forums!
