Steve Jobs said "Jump", so ABC got on its collective knees polished his helmet with an ever so loving squeeze at the end. Oops, I mean they created a lower bandwidth version of their site so that it would work with the iPad 3G in the past how long was it since this was reported? 24 hours?

OMG...think about all that stuff you just typed....it seems like at least 2 products plus 3 software things....

vs

1 simple iPad 3G...I'm not arguing that one way is the absolute best way for everyone but me personally I'd rather just carry 1 device than have to carry 2 to 4 just to get this superior quality you're talking about.]]>May 3rd 2010 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/May 3rd 2010 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/
I know I know...I have an iPhone 3GS with AT&T and I rarely use the data on that plan - so why not use it with my iPad wifi!!

I wish I can buy another iPad 3G - just for the damn GPS radio!

isn't the Sprint tethering $60?? I don't have 4G in my area and would be restricted to 3G data caps and slower data rates...

AT&T blows chunks. I hate them.

I was driving around today with my iPad tethered to my iPhone and if you're in any kind of urban area with some WiFi networks, your iPad will locate you within 100 feet or so. Unless you want GPS navigation, I wouldn't buy the 3G iPad just because it has a GPS chip.]]>May 3rd 2010 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/
It's gonna be the next iPhone 4G or whatever for me - if they include this new GPS radio they use in the new ipad 3G, i'm all over it like creampies.

But man, 9.7" GPS dude, that makes my jimmy salute!

That's what they said about the iPhone too did they not?

Continue hating...it just makes Apple stronger...right Lord Vader?]]>May 3rd 2010 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/
Please, wake me up when the competition comes up with a tablet worth a damn.

dude, go try one out for a week - I can guarantee you that you'd be at least 80% sure to keep it. Now with the jailbreak, I'm sure 100% you'd keep it.

The ipad is a fantastic media device - with the apps now, man, you can do just about everything...

Alarm wakes me and I grab iPad check mail and weather. I carry iPad to kitchen and read news as I eat a bowl of oatmeal squares. Throw iPad in bag and head to class. After class I browse web(mainly engadget, and fantasy baseball), play some angry birds or other game and eat lunch. In the evening I chill reading Engadget, Facebook, news, etc and maybe watch a little abc or netflix. By 10:00 pm or so I'm in bed reading an iBook(blink! atm) or the web. As you can see everything I do is possible with a laptop or phone but the portability of the iPad bests a netbook and certainly a laptop and the screen size is a huge improvement over a phone. Not to mention I have around 60% battery at the end of the day. Call me an fanboy or what you will but I will still enjoy my iPad. It's a shame people can't give a product a try before deciding they hate it. Is it possible you might be afraid you'd like it?]]>May 4th 2010 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/
That sounds pathetic. When i took classes, i hung out with people in between, went on dates. You have your ipad though. Why not use an iphone so you don't look like such a nerd?]]>May 4th 2010 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/May 4th 2010 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/May 3rd 2010 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/May 3rd 2010 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/May 3rd 2010 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/May 3rd 2010 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/]]>May 3rd 2010 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/
That's AT&T's problem...they charge everyone $30 a month for unlimited 3G data (for the iPhones) but yet cap at 5G/month. Then they complain about network saturation and the other bullshxts? Come the F' on. Man up AT&T and actually provide some real value service to your customers.

Apple should just buy their own communication spectrum and do their own telecommunications network. AT&T is a huge ripoff.

I'm sure it wasn't a restriction, but that they had to add in some code to let it stream over 3G, and also to add links for lower bit rate videos for the 3G connection]]>May 3rd 2010 11:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/03/abc-player-for-ipad-updated-3g-streaming-is-a-go/
