More iPad Fun

Already having accumulated experience in cutting SIM cards as a Sharp phone user (Japanese phones use hyperSIM cards instead of SIM), I did not waste a second and made a nice microSIM for making 3G networking abilities working. You don't even need a template for that, since it is easy to guess how the microSIM should look like. Only had to look up my providers APN settings again to finish setup.

I had a really annoying experience when trying to organize my email contacts, since it is impossible to define groups on the iPad. Since I am using a trial account of MobileMe I thought "whatever, let's use that one" and met the next obstacle. The me.com website doesn't open under Linux. Gooooood, so Apple wants me to use a specific operating system in order to organize email contacts??? Did I mention how much you have to pay for a Me account? So I switched to Windows (need that for Indesign and friends) and - surprise - found out that Me doesn't work with Thunderbird. I mean, come on, Thunderbird. How exotic is that, eh? Sooo, opened the website (it supports Firefox??? What a feature!) made some nice groups and, wow, instantly they appear on my iPad. More to come :-p
