    Saving PDFs linked through javascript

    Try downloading the USB Disk app, and the I Read PDF app. It should allow you to save the document to a virtual USB drive and then read from the PDF viewer app. If you hold your finger on the document do you get the option to save it?

    Java support ?

    Are you running 3.2 or 4.2? There was a problem with earlier version of java which should have been fixed with 4.2, but you may be correct that the functionality in the iPad is limited as well.

    Numbers - running MS excel functions

    Send yourself a file that has the macros and then upload it to an iPad at the apple store to check. I'm pretty sure that the numbers app has limitations like no graphs among other things so it would be wise to test it first.

    jobs seeks kill switch for JB devices

    Your comments are exactly the reason why our economy is in decline. There is no such thing as a greedy company. Companies exist to MAKE MONEY for their owners and investors. If you disagree with the price of a product or the way a company does business YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY IT. When the US...

    Java support ?

    The iPad has JavaScript, see settings menu. It does not run flash. If you use remote desktop, it will display flash via the host computer.

    Biggest annoyance with the iPad?

    No ports, no video mirroring, no USB, no Flash, rotation lock switch, no video camera (it -should- have an HD camera for it's size/cost), little/no compatibility with the PC world (which still dominates the computer market BTW), no ability to freely downgrade the iOS (can you say "planned...

    My iPad has 3.2.2 but too late for SHSHs to save? Help!

    Wow, I think Google needs to re-make the '1984' Mac commercial with the logo on the woman's t-shirt as the Android bot and the person on the mega-screen as Steve Jobs! Jeez all of this non-user friendlyness just to be able to block the hackers from getting a handful of tweaks onto the iPad...

    iPad tragedy. Must Read!!!!

    Let's hope he does not lose his job over it. I think if it was that bad of a situation; the iPad would live in my briefcase when at home or be only used by the adults since the kids have not been taught to be civil and share. This is precisely the sort of thing that happens when a piece of...

    My iPad has 3.2.2 but too late for SHSHs to save? Help!

    So at this point, if for any reason (say it crashes for some unknown reason) I need to restore my iPad using restore to factory original settings, it won't restore it with 3.2.2? Are you saying use of the restore button will force users to upgrade to 4.2.1?

    My iPad has 3.2.2 but too late for SHSHs to save? Help!

    So what about the SHSH blobs that are currently on the device? I have not updated them so it should still be intact, correct? I don't understand why they would be 4.2.1 and 4.2b3 now if I have not updated to the 4.2.1 iOS yet. Is by Apple"signing" part of the SHSH installation process, and...

    Stupidly Updated to 4.2.1, and Now Need Clarification

    Why does Apple make their product non-downgradeable? What if I update to 4.2 and decide I hate the changes they made? What good does it do to have a "restore to original settings" button if they won't allow you to go back to it's original configuration??

    Stupidly Updated to 4.2.1, and Now Need Clarification

    OK, I ran TinyUmbrella; but got something unexpected. Remember, I'm running iOS 3.2.2. It said it cannot save my SHSH for 3.2.2; and that I'm "too late". It says it did save SHSH for 4.2.1 and 4.2b3.(WTF??) What happened? I was not 'requesting' anything from Cydia yet it seems to think I...

    Implementing Ipad in a school district?

    Lots of schools are going over to computers instead of books because the computers -can- end up being more cost effective than instruction books for multiple subjects. The problem with the iPad is that it can't run flash so much of the website browsing will be limited to non-flash content...

    Can I upgrade to the 4.2 iOS and try jailbreak and then if it doesn't work revert?

    Are you saying that downgrading the iOS has the potential to make your iPad a brick, or that in some cases it just does not work and you are simply stuck with the newer iOS version? Does TinyUmbrella work with iTunes 10.1 correctly or did Apple close the door on it?
