You have to replace each light switch you wish to operate with a remote. We wired our entire house with switches from Smart Home. Wiring house lights to a remote device is a lot like tattoos. Do the first one and the next thing you know you're getting more and more.

Have a great time with it Luke. I got my Ipad2 a couple of months ago and just keep finding more and more uses for it.

And I have to agree with the folks that love Android, my phone is android and it works great. And I haven't ruled out getting one of the Android tablets too.

Better living through gadgets....

I find many social networking sites' Apps to be more fun to use to visit with my iPad, than with my desktop using web browser.

Over here in the UK, TV news people seem to use tablets (not sure if they're iPads) to control what's on the projection screen behind them.

I got mine a year ago because I figured it would come in handy while traveling, and being in places where I couldn't take the time to set up my desktop. That has been true.

Then, the added fun of better access to social network sites. I have not tried using my iPad to connect here. Of course, I'm sure Luke is working on a tablet App for GWW.

Perhaps it'll be an excuse to get a cat! :think:

I've got six kittens about 3 weeks old under the shed out back thanks to a roving mama cat ... how many do you want?

so you rooted but what for? free apps or is there homebrew thats worthwhile?

Rooted because in all honesty, honeycomb gives it much faster operation..frankly, faster than ipad. That's one thing I like about the android systems..the ability to use another os so to speak..in the sense of different roms.
