I haven’t written much about my iPad since I created my original review of the iPad. While there are many great apps available I wanted to point out one that needs to get more attention and that’s Blogsy.
If you run a blog the most irritating thing you have to do is grab content from multiple different sources. Blogsy eliminates all of that irritation and allows you to just access everything inside one nice little app.
I thought I’d have a bit of fun today and talk about a video game for once. Malcolm wrote in and asked me for a strategy to beat the Mud Slide level in Fieldrunners.
If you are unaware Fieldrunners is an iPhone / iPad game that many think to be the best game available. If you are one of my regular readers don’t worry. This website is not going to become a video game site anytime soon 🙂
While I’m not a great video game player I decided to give it a shot. It did take a few tries, but I finally beat the Mud Slide level. There is a screen shot that shows my layout at level 100. If you are having trouble seeing it, just click to enlarge it.
After I present the final screen shot, I’ll then go over how I laid this strategy out.
I’m testing how well I can stay connected with my online life, with just an iPad. I’m currently on vacation near lake Erie and in this article we’ll see how well the iPad can handle email, working with documents, entertainment, limited access to the internet and making my vacation more fun.
I took a trip to West Virginia and tested out how well the GPS and internet worked. You can see part of the trip in the video.
iPad AT&T Data Plan Speed
AT&T has different type’s of internet coverage provided through their data plan. I tested three of them on this trip. The New York Times site took about 35 second’s to load, on their worst coverage type called Partner Edge. Their highest signal strength called 3G, took about 18 second’s to load the same web page.
The iPad GPS
The good new’s is that the GPS didn’t lose it’s signal on the whole trip. It provides all of the different view option’s that Google provides. It is Google Map’s in essence.
The bad news is that there is no voice guided direction. So if you want to know where to turn you have to watch the screen. This doesn’t make for a safe driving experience. It’s a deal breaker for me.
