The pre release info on the Apple web site said that iOS 5 would include the capability of mirroring the desktop to a tv---if I had Apple TV.
Maybe in the fine print somewhere was a dislaimer that it would not work on my original iPad, but only on iPad 2. If so, I didn't see it.
Anyway, I ordered the Apple tv based on that expectation, then installed iOS 5---only to discover on this forum that it does not work on my iPad. (And the Apple tv is still in the mail!.)
Not really intended here as a complaint, but just an illustration of the special problems we original iPad owners face.
So---to the mods and administrators---a suggestion: how about a subforum dedicated to the iPad 1? That way, we could have much more efficient information sharing about such things that are solely iPad issues without having to do a piecemeal search on each individual topic through all the other subforums.
After all, we who own original iPads have a sizeable investment already. It is just too expensive to upgrade when each new version comes out just to get the latest bell or whistle, particularly when our current model works so well for our fundamental needs.
So, how about it?
