This & That: iPad in France - day 1

iPad in France - day 1

So, off to France with the iPad.

I could rely on free hotel wifi, but it isn't always free and it isn't always there; however, tonight the Novotel in Rennes is offering 6 hours wifi for free. Just type in your name and email on their webpage and it's up, up and away.

Or it would be if the iPad wasn't dropping down the keypad then closing it again so fast that you could't type a single letter! I've had issues with a MacBook on hotel wifi before, but it was because I had custom DNS settings. If the phrase 'custom DNS settings' means nothing to you, then you probably don't have them! The iPad problem was different and refused to be solved.

No playing online with the iPad tonight, then; not the end of the world, but annoying. Since this trip is to check out the iPad's travel capabilities, I have the MacBook with me as well, so the mail won't go unchecked!
