We've never owned an iPad or iTab or i anything before but decided to jump in when we changed cellphone plans recently. Ed, our Supertechie son-in-law said it would be fun and ordered one for us.
Well... it arrived and last night, tired as he was, Ed spent a couple of hours (on Skype) with us registering the phone and walking us through some things on it. This was the first time we tried the touch pad thing. There's also this Siri that allows you to talk to it. We don't get along with Siri yet.
Everything is supposed to be intuitive, buuut... my intuition is sadly lacking so I'm still rather dumb founded.
We finally managed to get everything set up with Ed's help. The speaker worked, the earbuds worked... buuuut when we tried to just use it normally with our ear to the phone, we could barely hear Ed when he called us on it.
We were not happy. It appears our new iPhone was already defective. Ed suggested we go to the Apple store in Ala Moana and have the phone looked at. However, my brother said they might not help us unless we bought the phone from them.
We went to bed rather perturbed.
I'm not sure when Art thought of it, but he did. It occurred to him that he hadn't taken that clear plastic covering off the phone. We always have a hard time doing this because we're afraid of scratching anything new.
He removed it this morning and voila! It worked! We could hear clearly. The plastic protection cover is what was preventing us from hearing properly.
We sheepishly called Tiffany this morning on Skype and told her.
She called across to Ed who was working in his office, "Ed! My parents just found out that they couldn't hear you last night because they hadn't removed the plastic covering off the iPhone."
There was loud, prolonged laughter.
I have a feeling Ed is going to have a good story to tell about his in-laws when he goes into work tomorrow.
