IPAD updated to IOS 7 (updated)

I have to say with the latest update on my iPad I am a bit more at home.  It seems to be a lot more android like in its look.  I was a little confused when my friends began to post they were upgrading to iOS 7, and I didn't see any of the updates for mine.  I would have thought the update would have been presented in the app store but it wasn't.  After a bit of research and a phone all from Peter I learned that I had to tell the iPad to do the update.  I headed over to the settings, then to general, then to software update...and I was off.

For some reason I wasn't able to complete the update on the campus network, but then again i kept it with me as I walked around the building so maybe that was my problem.  When I got home, I connected downloaded and installed it in about 1 hr.  I like the new security features implemented in it. I noted that if someone does manage to steal it, according to the update, they will have a harder time reprogramming it without my password.

I am not sure what other features they have added but I will play around and see what else this new so can do.  


Has anyone used the iPad to display the contents of their iPad in a class configured with a projector?  I have used it to demo a few slides to a small group of students for my set220 class but I couldn't imagine using it for a full class, or for more then about 10 students


* if you havent updated...you may not want to.  if you own any 3rd party lightning cables they will not work any longer....Really apple!!!

  1. My favorite new feature is the command bar and the fact it is accessible without having to unlock the device. I can now easily access the new HDR equipped camera, volume, brightness, turn on and off wi-fi, etc. all but just swiping up from the lock screen.
