Droid Bionic here. I have an iPad2 - and I just don't like it all that much.
What dont you like about it? Everyone I know that has one loves it, so I'd be interested in hearing a different opinion.

Sending you a PM, rather than clutter up the Thread...

Kiara, please reconsider. While I have and and really do like my iPad2, I am interested in seeing why those that don't like it don't. Plus, anything (except code and deep technical questions) are fair game on The Thread.

No, please: the Thread needs more cluttering!

what do you guys use for calendar apps? (non-iPhoney people) <--hey, that's funny, didn't even mean that...
missed a couple user group meetings I meant to get to (online), would be nice to be able to sync Outlook and phone calendars.

I use TouchDown by NitroDesk for my Exchange sync. Costs $$, but I like it better than the default calendar and e-mail apps that Google provides with the OS. But the calendar doesn't have any features that I really need, it's the e-mail I got it for. Default calendar does just fine.

Google calendar sync. Syncs outlook to google calendar, phone picks up from there.

I could use a hand here if anyone could help me with some SSIS monitoring. If I should post it elsewhere, I'd be happy to move it. If anyone has suggestions where I could look to find this kind of answer, I'd appreciate that too.
