1) iPad hacksugar: iPad 3G hacked to send native SMS
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/05/02/hacksugar-ipad-3g-hacked-to-send-native-sms/

Filed under: iPad

Here's a cool little find for a quiet Sunday. MuscleNerd of the iPhone dev team has managed to allow his jailbroken 3G iPad to send command-line SMS text messages. This hack only works with SIM cards that have already paid for an SMS plan, in this case a T-Mobile SIM that was downsized to microSIM dimensions. (More about using T-Mobile SIMs here.) The 3G iPad was jailbroken using Spirit.

The hack works by communicating directly with the iPad baseband, using standard AT commands. As of yet, Apple's MobileSMS application, the SMS application that normally appears on iPhone home screens, has not worked on the iPad.

Will standard phone call service be next? Using minutes from a downsized SIM? Wait and see.

3) Dear Aunt TUAW: Which 3G plan should I opt for?
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/05/02/dear-aunt-tuaw-which-3g-plan-should-i-opt-for/

Filed under: iPadDear Aunt TUAW,

I'm getting a new iPad 3G. I understand the bit about no contract and $15 a month for 250mb but wonder about how does 250mb relate to web usage. I have heard some say the web surfing can consume a lot of "bandwidth" but have no idea what that means relative to 250mb of data plan use.

I am not an AT&T fan (still waiting for Verizon or Sprint to get the iPhone) and am always reluctant to sign up for a 2 year contract for anything. My wife has an iPad wireless model and she has had no trouble web surfing, e-mail etc, at the house or our apartment in the city.TUAWDear Aunt TUAW: Which 3G plan should I opt for? originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sun, 02 May 2010 18:00:00 EST.

4) My iPad workstation, your iPad workstation
http://www.tuaw.com/2010/05/02/my-ipad-workstation-your-ipad-workstation/

Filed under: iPadI hadn't thought much about it when I put the picture up on Flickr, but there turned out to be some interest in the little iPad workstation/music center I've put together. I rather like it myself, so I thought I'd share it ... and put out a call to see what our readers have set up for their own docking stations.
The setup isn't what you'd call inexpensive, but I had all of the hardware laying around anyway. This is mostly the result of my obsessive hunt for the perfect keyboard, and a penchant for new and different peripherals. Read on for the details.TUAWMy iPad workstation, your iPad workstation originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sun, 02 May 2010 17:00:00 EST.
