<p>It doesn’t go to youtube.com when i type in youtube.com it goes to YouTube</p>
<p>It also doesn’t go to youtube…when i press the youtube icon</p>
<p>I wonder why iPad only works with ATT. Is it some special deal with ATT?</p>
<p>YouTube is an application. There should be an application to go to YouTube. You do not type youtube.com in the browser. You don’t use the browser at all. If still confused, find a 15-year-old teenager to assist.</p>
<p>There is a YouTube App that displays all YouTube videos and further, when one clicks on a YouTube embedded video in a webpage, it will play fine. There is also an HTML5 YouTube page that one can use if one wants to use the YouTube URL. ([YouTube</a> - Broadcast Yourself.](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/html5]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/html5)) Over 1000 magazines and publishers will be converting to HTML5 for video, Flash is going the way of the Dodo. </p>
<p>The 3G capability is provided by at&t, but does not require a contract, can be purchased directly from the iPad, and costs as little as $14.95 a month. It looks like at&t gave them the best deal. One also gets access to all 20,000 at&t WiFi hotspots as well I believe.</p>
<p>Dstark - I have youtube on my iphone, but in order to make it work I have to go to you tube and set up a user id and password. Maybe it is the same for ipad.</p>
<p>Huh - I have youtube on my iPhone, but I don’t have to set up any user id and password at all (I don’t even have one on youtube). Just open the app and search for whatever I’m searching for. </p>
<p>As for coolweather - “I wonder why iPad only works with ATT. Is it some special deal with ATT?” - presumably the same reason that the iPhone only works with AT&T.</p>

<p>Eh? All of the IPhone developers I have talked to absolutely hate the IPhone SDK, and lament how it’s impossible for them to release apps developed with their preferred tools on non-jailbroken IPhones. Hell, I know some developers who despise the iphone SDK so much they’re willing to give up 90% of the market and only make apps for jailbroken IPhones. Apple is probably the least developer-friendly company in the world… as far as developers not employed by them goes.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Personally, I think Apple actually makes Microsoft look like a benevolent non-profit. So… please don’t support Apple.</p>
<p>Here’s the thing, though, ray192 – as consumers, non-techies, we don’t particularly give a darn what developers think or don’t think. We want to be able to open the box, have our gadgets working within 2 minutes, enjoy the experience, and not have to worry about all kinds of funky stuff to make them work. Apple fits the bill beautifully. I’m practically addicted to my iPhone and I know I’m not the only one.</p>
<p>There is a YouTube app. I click on it. I get a can not connect error message…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s rather ironic you don’t give a damn what we think… since what we “think” made all your phones and apps in the first place. But hey, we’re code monkeys who aren’t worth anything, and if we all make crap because of corporate decrees, things would just be dandy, mirite?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There are plenty of gadgets that do what Apple’s stuff does at half the cost. But hey, it’s Apple, so it’s gotta be best, right?</p>

<p>A friend ported his web game with relatively little difficulty. He has
about 35 years of software engineering experience dealing with large
and complex projects (5 to 50 million lines of code). I don’t recall
him complaining about the iPhone SDK. I only have 25 years of
experience in software engineering but I’ve seen some pretty difficult
engineering environments. Perhaps difficult is just a matter of
perspective.</p>

<br>
<p>Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I’ll try it out at the Apple Store tonight.</p>
<p>I’ve never had a problem using YouTube on the iPod Touch after my daughter showed me how to do it.</p>
<p>You can surf the web on it, right?</p>
<p>I can surf the web.</p>
<p>“There is a YouTube app. I click on it. I get a can not connect error message.”</p>
<p>time for the genius bar at the Apple store. Demand a exchange for a working ipad, and have them test drive it there b4 you leave the store. There are always going to be some “bugs” or hickups in any newly released piece of hardware.</p>
<p>Interestingly I tried my ipod touch at home and couldn’t connect so I entered my password (wireless router) and it couldn’t connect to YouTube nor could I surf. I went to the mall and it worked just fine so there may be something flaky with my router.</p>
<p>I didn’t get a chance to go to the Apple Store. There were a number of competing priorities in our family shopping trip and my priorities were at the bottom.</p>
<p>BCEagle91’ :). I talked to Apple. I have to call back…</p>
<p>It works. In order for the IPAD to work, you have to download itunes from another computer. So it is a little weird. You have to have access to a computer to get IPAD to work. </p>
<p>Or in my case…I had two use two computers. The download from the first computer didn’t work. The download of itunes from the second computer worked. Only took 10
hours. I think it is going to be a nifty machine.</p>
<p>Well, you have to run iTunes on a computer to sync with the iPad for updates and any purchased products. The device is like an iPod Touch and I recall having to set it up with iTunes a long time ago.</p>
<p>You’re right. </p>
<p>I was just surprised. I don’t own any other Apple products. It’s a good thing I own a couple computers…I don’t know what customers who don’t have a computer are supposed to do…</p>
<p>dstark - are you saying that you have to have two computers in order to download to ipad or 2 different itunes accounts. I am glad you are getting the glitches for the rest of us ipad wannabees!</p>
