Let the good times roll

Well it has arrived and I have started to get to know my new iPad.  On the whole the change over has gone smoothly with one or two anomalies.

First iCloud.   The calendar updated no problem but when I went to use the email I was told that I had to enter the password?  Not sue why one part of iCloud worked whilst another didn't - it might be that the calendar is backed up onto iTunes I don't know.  Any after a bit of scrambling around to find the password all was well.

Twitter.   The Twitter app doesn't seem to want to remember me and I have yet to work out why this might be.  Interestingly, the Twitter feed on Flipboard works fine so perhaps it is one of those things which I will get around to sorting out eventually.

SkyGo.  This doesn't want to work because I have exceeded the number of machines I have logged on in one month - or something like this.  Again not a problem and I will sort this out at the start of next month when hopefully things will be back to normal.

At the moment I have not found any other problems/glitches.  So now for the good stuff.  Well the first thing is that the chip is noticeably quicker than   my old iPad.  Apps load a whole lot quicker, especially brushes as does the internet.  The screen is indeed a lot brighter - whether this is such a wonderful thing only time will tell.  The weight of the machine feels about the same as the iPad 2 which, given the extra battery that has been squeezed into the machine is nothing less than miraculous.

So it has taken my just over an hour to set the iPad up, discounting the faults/problems listed above, and it seems to be running ok.  Lets see what a few days of use does to knock this early enthusiasm out of me.
