Well I sent a message to viv, and it didn't work.
Then I sent a message to a friend. That didnt work, so I messaged him and because viv and I share my iTunes account it sent a message to all three of our devices.
So if any of you early adopters want to sell me their iPad 2 on the cheap...

Hey guys what is messages on the iPad for? I tried sending messages to people with iPhones but it didnt do anything.
It an be a little finicky, I know Sheri had issues getting it set up with her iPad/iPhone. Basically, the people you're contacting need to have iMessage turned on on their phone, and have the email address(es) your iMessage account is tied to, otherwise Apple's magic background voodoo on their phone can't recognize your iPad as an iMessage device.
We have different definitions of the word "cheap", but that's ok. I know you need to fund your applecrack habit somehow.
And really...how long did you have it? Is there really that big of a difference between the two?

That's gonna be tricky, since it's doing what it's supposed to (send the message to all the devices tied to your Apple ID)
I understand why folks share an Apple ID, but it does lead to some weird issues with sync.
I secretly wish Apple had been able to buy Dropbox, but at the same time, it would have killed off all of the non-Apple neat stuff that plugs into Dropbox. Apple still can't do sync well.
The side pull menus are just so fucking easy to use.
It infuriates me to no end that I can't have just the left side-pull menu. The right one for add-ons is useless for me, and I always accidentally pull it open.

Really? I've never had that problem.
Your are right though in that the right menu doesn't do that much for the iPad, it's useful on the iPhone though.
It appears several portions of the story that aired on This American Life, which in some ways, kicked off several investigations and protests of Apple regarding Foxconn, were fabricated
Does that seem low, for Apple's offer? They would sell that same unit refurbished for $679.
And then the Amazon deal seems almost too good, only $50 under an apple refurbished model.
I'm really grappling with the decision to buy an iPad 2. Is there any good online source that is not a brick-and-mortar extension? I'd like to see if I could avoid sales tax, and I think that cancels out Amazon(though they're not price matching yet), Best Buy, Target, Walmart etc.
Mine is out of delivery but the delivery time changed from 3pm to 5pm, and I have a pre-signed delivery sheet in case no one is home or whoever is doesn't hear the door.
Never mind, I just got an email confirming delivery. Hurray!
Letting an entire Africa's worth of impoverished Chinese go malnurished on the interior of the country because they don't have any jobs *at all* rather than just crappy ones
It's a sad fact of life. Threats to Foxconn with financial reprisal and pushes to get stuff like iPads made in America for an extra 20 bucks per unit takes those people whose lives currently just suck, and puts them into a whole new brand of hell.
It will get better over time, nobody can just snap their finger and give Chinese people cush wage jobs en masse. China knows that. They're working on it. Foxconn jobs are crappy because China is crappy. Not because Apple is crappy. And China knows it and they have the kind of government that can and does work on the problem. Just takes time when you have 800 million mouths to feed.

At least, I think that's how it works.
This might help?

HMMMM
I don't know for sure if the guy here at work is still planning to pick it up, but if not, I'll let you know.
$350 and I'm throwing in the black leather SmartCover for free. 16GB Wifi-only black, near-pristine condition. A small scuff on the back.
And really...how long did you have it? Is there really that big of a difference between the two?
I'll probably skip the 4th gen, though.

Since the iPad doesnt have a phone number it goes a bit nuts.

One for Downloads and one for messaging?

in other interesting Apple news

buying it and then complaining about how it was made is pretty dumb
and since almost everyones everyday life touches electronics from a sweatshop in factory asia, good luck with that!
also stop wearing clothes
done
journalistic integrity feels like a rarity these days

$320 if your 64GB is in perfect condition or $460 in Amazon Credit
FedEx just drove by further in to our office park
And then the Amazon deal seems almost too good, only $50 under an apple refurbished model.

didn't say they were!
Never mind, I just got an email confirming delivery. Hurray!
so there's this thing called compromise
clothes, a computer, and a cell phone are all pretty necessary these days. if you can go without a cell phone and/or a pc, good for you
but when people have a closet full of shoes or are buying every iteration of the latest Apple product, that's over-consumption
it supports exploitation like this and causes pollution when all of these consumer electronics inevitably break and are thrown away
