Hi Laura, Apple's way of handling this is quite clever. A wireless update will not be initiated unless either you have 50% or more battery life remaining, or the device is plugged in. Cheers, Carlo On 08/03/2012, at 15:44 , Laura Webb wrote: Hi Ronni Thanks for that but, not knowing of

Hi Adrian, The 4G models include GPS. The assisted part refers to the use of the cell connection to make the localization quicker. However, access to a cell signal is not required. The built in GPS will work on its own. It is unfortunate that Apple used the term assisted GPS. It seems to

Yes quite right. Assisted GPS is the combination of a GPS unit, positioning form triangulation of cell-phone towers, and positioning using wifi hot spots. There is one caveat, however, the Wifi only models of the iPad have no GPS unit and also cannot contact cell-phone towers. These Wifi only

Hi Adrian, The Apple website says that both the WiFi only version, and the 4G version will geotag your photos. I suspect the goetagging is done using WiFi signals, much the same as the Find My Friend app does to locate Apple devices with location services turned on. You will need the iPad
