Bought it brand new, and just got it out of the box.

I spent a grip, and also purchased a 2 yr service plan through AAFES that covers drops, spills, cracks... The whole 9.

I got the 64 GB WiFi version (black)

Anyways, so those of you who have had iPads, I'm looking for all the "must have" apps.

Sports, games, you name it.

I also have an 18 month old son, so if any of you parents out there have good apps for the little ones that are educational at such a young age that would be great.

I will of course be googling them, but personal suggestions would be great as well.

I've had every iPhone released, so I'm not new, but this is my first iPad.

Thanks in advance for suggestions. Posts in this thread and PM's greatly appreciated.

Buy a hard case for it. Spend extra money, buy the screen protector from best buy. Buy the apple smart cover, dont go cheap...

Case is a must as is a screensaver. Id buy them online as you would save like 50-70% off of retail pricing.

*something of note: I would not reccomend using the ipad charger on an Iphone..Apple says it is safe but since i have been doing it my Iphone battery is all messed up and drains instantly.

Has there been a workaround for the whole "buying apps" from the iStore yet?

Not that I know of. Every now and again I plug in coupon codes or gift card redeems that I find online. They rarely work but I used one the other day and it got me $50 credit on my iTunes account. I tried it for my wife literally 5 min later and it didn't work for her.

Tips to posting on the huddle from an iPad:

To quote, click multi quote, more reply options, and you're ready to roll

To embed yt vids, have to go to yt desktop page, get the vid id, and manually insert it in like the old days. [yt]blahblahblah then end it.

Pics are the same way unless you can find em on photobucket.

My preschooler plays a game called agnitus. It's learning based and will email you how your child is progressing.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
