Good to know.

Is there a special setting in iPeng I must use to keep it active while I surf the internet? I have almost no experience using an iPad, or other Apple device for that matter, so I'll be learning how to use it as well as iPeng at the same time. So please be patient with this newby ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturn94's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56831 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97366 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
