We're getting an iPad at work. Can you have two accounts on one iPad? If so I'm selling my own.

I don't believe you can.

QuoteIf you're switching IDs because you were using a shared family ID and want your own individual one, there are a couple of pitfalls to watch out for. Any purchases made the old ID will remain on the iPhone or iPad, but you'll need to enter the old ID password to get updates for those apps.

Also, if you ever reset the phone or delete apps, songs or videos bought from the iTunes store, you'll need that old ID in order to download them again.

I saw this for the phone but I don't know if that relates to iPads. Also kinda of doesn't really seem like using separate accounts given that all apps remain in place.

Sounds like a lot of hassle, I'll be better off selling my iPad and just re-purchase the apps.

I saw Apple has a page that mentions many times people don't realize they have multiple apple IDs. In response to being asked if they can be merged...Apple said no. :D

Just heard that we can use our own apple ids and download the company apps we need via a citrix app. Interesting.

It has: arrived.  :cool:

White, 16GB.  At least it's not gold.  I can live with white.  And since it's a work phone I can hardly complain about lack of storage for games.

And it has the pretty silver ring around the home button.  My precious...  :ph34r:

My iPad also arrived. With it a near useless manual to install apps via Citrix. Also, the apps constantly crash. But it's still better than carrying around 2000 pages of rules, regulations and infrastructure plans.

So I want to give a quick iPhone 5s review, but I hardly have a proper frame of reference.  I've never used an android phone, and because this was a work phone, andriod was not an option (see a few posts above).  All I can compare this to is my 3 year old BB Bold, and my iPod Touch.

Obviously, it's a lot like my touch.  I'm pretty familiar with the basic interface by now, but this is obviously much quicker and more responsive.  The screen is beautiful, and the fingerprint scanner works very well.  It seems odd though I have to press the button, then hold my finger for several seconds.

Interface for emails and messages is miles better than my old BB - I can fly through those things like nobodies business.

It was very lucky I had by accident linked my iTunes account to my work email several months ago.  That meant I could load all my apps and songs onto the new phone. :thumbsup:

I'm very happy with it.

If it's taking several seconds try redoing the finger scan setup.  Mine loads instantaneously.
