The iPad Project: Day Five

Due to various errands that had to be run today, I got very little iPad work done.

Really, the only meaningful progress was to verify and file a report against the iPhone Configuration Utility bug that I mentioned yesterday. For any Apple people in the audience, it's rdar://problem/8296089.

iOS 3.2.2 came out for iPads today, so I'm going to have to work out a plan for updating these iPads sooner rather than later. There's no way the delivered machines will be running 3.2.2 and there's no way I'm handing out 3.2.1 devices with a single-click jailbreak out in the wild.

We're close on this one. I can feel it.

Hi Fraser, I am currently working on a similar project. Have you had any issues as yet with applications like Youtube, Google Earth accessing the web via school network?

We have a ISA servers in place and in order for the traffic to pass through we have to let the iPad traffic through as anonymous. This isn't ideal as there is no way of tracking who is accessing what.

I would really appreciate it if you could get in touch with me.

Cheers

Wayne

I haven't worked that one out yet. I saw some chatter somewhere that you could hack a Configuration Profile to use a PAC file for the proxy, but I have not had time to look into that yet.
