Hi Gary,
Not sure what the difference in having the sky news app is on the IPad as
opposed to your IPhone. What if you got a radio app such as OOTunes on your
IPad and then pulled in Sky news as one of your favorites on it.
Paul.

what you are doing on a train or somewhere you could also invoke the screen
curtain.

know how to unlock the screen. I have found the home button. Think there is
some kind of switch on top right side but did not want to touch anything. Do
I have to purchase all apps or does it come with some? For example if I want
to read a word document and a pdf document do I have to purchase Word or
Office and Adobie Acrobat. How do I use the touch screen keyboard? In fact,
in short, can I set it up myself? I have speech enabled which I think is
great and I tried the touch screen in the shop and after that it was a Must
Have!

UK. Hope same will apply im Ireland though with such stringent recent
austerity in the Budget one wonders. Maybe people could at least apply to
the VAT exemption office in Limerick or Tipp. Sorry not sure which County.
