iPad Can Connect to UTORcwn

I suppose some of you may have missed the hype about the new iPad. It is like a computer but the size of a small thin book or magazine.

I was able to help a user with connect one to our wireless today.

Add this to the ever-growing list of small devices that behave much like a computer...and our Information Commons Help Desk does NOT "officially" support. (staff there are not trained to do this...we do not have help sheets for users to do this...users are "on their own" so-to-speak)

I have never been successful at helping users with PDA's, iPhones, or Blackberry's get connected to our wireless network even though it IS possible. I tell them to find someone they know with the same device and ask how they did it.

So I just want to say that like all those other devices...the new iPad can connect as well. Just don't tell users to go to the Help Desk for help.
In my absence you can point them to the Mac wireless handouts. They just need the SSID, security type, and encryption key...same as every other device. (UTORwin, WEP, UToronto1home)
