Going to get an iPad 3 as soon as released. Have some questions on how it will work with iPhone.
1. If I open email on iPhone will it show as open on iPad. Any diff on how non Apple email will work vs @me.com accounts.
2. If I read and delete email on iPhone will it also delete from iPad.
3. Will apps already on iPhone automatically appear on iPad.
I own an iPad and an iPhone, so let me see if I can help...
1) If you have a POP e-mail account open on either device, the other can't/won't open it; it'll error out. It works fine with Exchange or Gmail. Don't have an @me account, so I am not sure how that will work. Easy solution, though, to the error is to just close the account on the iDevice you're not using.
2) This will all depend on how you set up your e-mail. My Gmail account is "live" on both devices, so if I delete it from the phone, it'll be gone from the iPad. Again, this is done in each devices Mail settings.
3) Yes, with iOS 5, you can set up apps to auto-download to either device. This is a concious choice that you can configure for on or off. Just know that "on" means that all apps will download to the other device (as long as they are combatible). Plus, you can always use iTunes or the App Store to get apps as, once you've bought them (and if they are universal), you can put them on either or both devices. Just note that some apps are iPhone or iPad only. If that is the case, you will have to buy them separately.
Hope this helps, some.
