That's actually a pretty good answer ... how come we don't know that (except that we can't get it to work)???? The app catalog is down but we're REQUIRED to have the latest updates? Seems like there should be a better "automatic update system." All my other Apple products update in the background, it's invisible and easy?

We're required to auto-update via wifi even in hotels/ramps that don't have wifi available? I think I've noticed them putting wifi antennas on the MEM ramp light poles, can they do that everywhere? I'm surprised the FAA buys off on such a system?

Fair disclosure: I'm out on SCK leave and haven't been issued an iPad yet. Did I read that FDX purchased worldwide 4G service? How come we can't update that way? Updates seem to work reliably and automatically on my iPhone, iMac and MacBook Air ... why is the FDX iPad different?
