Mobile Things 2

I consider myself to be a middle-of-the-road adopter of technology.  Primarily because of my frugality.  I can tell you my first CD purchase, which I still own, was Bing Crosby's Christmas Hits.  I was 18, had scored a bargain on a combo stereo with turn table, duel cassette deck (that's right, you read correctly, DUEL), AM/FM radio and...drumroll...CD player, so I decided it was time to start investing in this new music format that had been in stores a few years.  I do love me some Bing, especially during the holidays, but the truth of why he was my first CD purchase was that it was $4.

What does any of this have to do with Mobile Thing 2??  While I updated to OS 7 on my 3rd generation iPad when I got the little message on my screen that a software update was available, I've been futzing with little features here and there and the "cool things" I read about or saw on the videos don't seem to be available to those who aren't on an iPhone5, iPad4, iPad Air or Mini.  So from what I came across in the exploration of Mobile Thing 2, was that I had already found most of the fun gadgets and gizmos in OS 7 on a 3rd gen, on my own.  Oh well, even though Bing started a new phase for me moving ahead, I still didn't get rid of my Thriller or DeBarge vinyls!
