Heh! Was thinking the same thing, but had refrained till this post.
I concur: Supporting crappy iPads or Nokia, or what have you is
hardly of interest on this list. IMHO, this is true even if the tools
used for such support are FOSS.

There is a fine line here, again IMHO. FOSS on a proprietary platform
is maybe still worth supporting, FOSS that works around barriers
set up by scheming proprietary companies is much more more meh.
Take it elsewhere to some fanboi list, IMHO.

Gora

That's an edge case -- if the tool is FOSS then it may just be relevant 
to discuss it here.  However, this discussion was purely about a 
proprietary tool running on proprietary platforms.

OTOH, Apple, with its excellent user-friendly policies, won't allow any 
GPL software in its Store, so Apple users are prohibited from ever 
having access to a large portion of FOSS.  Unless they violate the ToS 
and jailbreak their phones, of course.

Hi Pankaj,

You must check with your bank whether it allow you to make on-line
international transaction with their debit card or not. I used my credit
card to purchase the software. Using the above technology you can also
enjoy Internet connection on your Linux or Mac computer by enabling Wi-Fi
and you don't need to install Nokia PC Suite for that. Cool! isn't it?

With Regards,

 *Own an iPad with a free 3G feature:*


 Apple has sent out invitations to the San Francisco launch of its new
 iPad 3 this week. The device will be unveiled on March 7 at a special event
 in the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. In India, people
 mostly prefer to buy iPad with both Wi-Fi + 3G feature because they can
 hardly find the Wi-Fi signal. But for the extra feature, we have to pay an
 extra amount. I have an iPad with only Wi-Fi feature but I am accessing the
 3G feature as well without having to pay for it. Isn’t it great to save
 some money?


 Regarding the price difference, a 16GB iPad 2 with only Wi-Fi feature
 will cost you US $ 499 and the same iPad with both Wi-Fi + 3G feature will
 cost you US $ 629. So the price difference is US $ 139, which is about
  6811 Indian rupees.

 You must be little excited to know how I am enjoying 3G on my iPad which
 has only Wi-Fi feature. Ok let me share the techniques so that you can use
 the 3G on your iPad, free of cost.

 You  will need the following hardware and software for this purpose.

 Hardware:


 1. Mobile Phone with 3G feature (these days everyone has a mobile phone
 and most mobile phones come with inbuilt 3G feature)

 2. 3G sim card

 Software:

 1. Wi-Fi HotSpot Software like JoikuSpot 2012 Edition (I am using
 JoikuSpot)

 2. You can get both free version and premium version, only difference is
 that free version doesn’t provide security and encryption key.

 3. here is the link to check whether your phone is compatible with the
 above software or not: https://www.joiku.com/select_device_for_product/1

 Follow these simple steps to get your JoikuSpot. First, select your phone
 model from the above link. Then, enter your billing information. After
 successful transaction, you will be able to download the installation file.
 You can easily transfer the installation file to your phone, install it,
 and start using JoikuSpot application which will appear in your phone menu
 under the Applications folder. The software is very cheap, so you don't
 need to worry about it.

 In my case,  I have Nokia E63 which has inbuilt 3G feature with prepaid
 Idea 3G simcard and I purchased JoikuSpot premium software with only 150
 (Indian Rupees).  You can also get its free version which comes without the
 encryption key and the security. I installed the software in my mobile
 phone and made the signal encrypted to make it more secure.


 So, you are all ready to use the free 3G feature in your iPad. *All I
 can say is technology is great, but the free technology is even greater.*
