Sometimes mine does this, but I just reboot my router and the problem clears itself up. It's my el cheapo android tablet that sometimes has the most problems, but I just reboot that tablet and it'll go on for quite a while with no problems. My mini rarely acts up though (2-3 times a year).
I usually have my ipad mini at home on the wi-fi, but when I'm out and about I tether off of my iphone 4. My cell phone plan has unlimited tethering, as long as I don't change my plan. I'll be ok....
It's taking FOREVER to even start, I realize that apple's servers are proably getting hammered pretty hard right now.. I guess that patience is the game now..
I have a Mini, and last night it just started to play music, at random. A song that wasn't loaded on the ipad, and the music and radio were both off. Is this just wierd or is there something else going on here?
I got a 16GB wifi model, if I could afford it. I would have gotten a 32gb cellular model.. But then again, money is an object for me and you can afford what you can afford...
I have a Garmin that I use for my navigation. So I don't use the maps apps at all anymore but I've used Motion X Drive GPS on my Ipad 1 and it worked great...
I still have mine, I use it in the bedroom as a clock and internet radio. And it's still does all I want it to do. I will admit, the crashes are a bit more frequent, but it's still liveable..
I upgraded to an Ipad Mini because I wanted to, I don't have any vices left anymore (don't drink, smoke, or some other stuff) so this is an outlet for me. And not to mention that I have something nice to show for it.
