I do not have an ipad. But i'll be getting the ipad2 64gb 3g when it comes out in the UK.
(1) Like my iphone 3gs will the ipad keep the 3g signal up all the time and only use it when wifi is not available? Or do i need to connect the 3g connection like i do on my laptop? (When around wifi will the 3g connection drop in order to save battery? i.e. there will be no need for 3g as sms and calls are not possible on ipad)
(2) I will use skype video calls a lot, can i just leave skype running in the background like i do when at home on my iphone? (not worried about battery)
(3) I plan to also leave an irc client running in the background such as Colloquy.
(4) Will going between wifi and 3g cause any issues? I.e. will i need to reauth to skype and irc client when i leave home and use 3g?
(5) I've been told gusto is a good app for connecting to web server via ssh in order to amend files. Anyone confirm this?
Thanks in advance
