Jimboxy Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 If I had that kind of money, I'd go with the HP Slate instead. having used various shit HP computers in the past ranging from PDA's to laptops to desktops i wouldn't touch it with a 10ft poll. The video didn't actually show any real footage of it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 It's finally got a UK release date and prices: The new device will now hit British shops on Friday 28th May. It will launch in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and Switzerland on the same day.Apple's online store will begin taking pre-orders on Monday 10th May. The 16GB iPad will carry a suggested retail price of £429, while the 32GB version will cost £499 and the 64GB is £599. The 3G-enabled models will be priced at £529 for 16GB, £599 for 32GB and £699 for 64GB. I can't justify spending that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craymen Edge Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Oh, that's a smiley. I seriously thought you were talking about an Ipad version 0.0 for a second there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinn888 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Used an iPad the other day. All these foreigners kept asking me to hold it so they can take a photo of it. Just seems weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoobie Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I got my OH an iPad for his 30th birthday and very nice it is too. I'm not too sure what the point of one is and all he seems to have done so far is play Mafia Wars and some crappy penny drop game. I've tried Angry Birds and wasn't too bothered about it - not had a chance to try much else yet. As soon as the novelty wears off I will subtly take control of it and it will become my mine (mwah ha ha!) It's taken ages to type this as well.

Jimboxy Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 someone on this forum told me it was better than using a keyboard I think that was me, but I think you're mis-quoting me. I was saying the iPad keyboard is easier to type on than a netbooks keyboard, because it is almost a full sized keyboard. All comes down to personal preference at the end of the day though.

Hendo Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'm on an iPad. Oh god, there's no going back to surfing on my phone. There's no reason for it to exist and it is a big waste of money but oh lord I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 iPads are too nice. I don't even like the iPhone, but I'd buy an iPad straight up if I could legitimise a reason to own one besides it being a damn sexy bit of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 You're damn right they are. This whole flat is powered by the spirit of Steve Jobs - Macbook Pro, iPhone 4, iPad and now Apple TV which is actually pretty cool and useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 As expected Apple has just made its second-generation iPad official! It features a 1GHz dual-core A5 chip and, finally, cameras, both front and rear! The new CPU is said to be up to twice as fast, with graphics performance up to nine times better than on the original iPad, while power requirements have been kept the same. Battery life is, consequently, unaltered, with Apple promising 10 hours. Pricing, too, has been left unchanged, starting at $499. The new tablet will come with an HDMI output capable of 1080p -- which will set you back $39 for the requisite dongle -- but we've yet to hear any rumblings of Thunderbolt connectivity. There's an enlarged speaker grille on the back, as expected, though resolution has not budged from the original iPad's 1024 x 768.0p video recording at 30fps will be on tap from the rear-facing camera, which can also do a 5x digital zoom if you're into that kind of thing, whereas the front-facing imager will record at a more modest VGA resolution, also at 30fps. There's a new cover for the device, which is best defined by Steve Jobs himself: "We designed the case right along side the product. It's not a case -- it's a cover." Basically, it's a magnetic flap that protects the front and automatically wakes and puts the device to sleep according to whether it's open or closed. Guess we know what that proximity sensor was about now. These Smart Covers will cost $39 in plastic or $69 if you opt for leather. The iPad 2 is 33 percent thinner than its predecessor, at a mind-melting 8.8mm, and a little lighter at just over 600g, while chromatic options have been expanded: you'll get a choice between white and black. It'll be available on both AT&T and Verizon, and all variants start shipping on March 11th. Apple Retail Stores will start sales at the unusual hour of 5PM, which will probably make online pre-orders the fastest way to get yours. In terms of new software, Apple's launching iOS 4.3 alongside the new iPad and bringing with it much improved Safari performance as well as FaceTime, Photo Booth, iMovie and GarageBand (the latter two costing $4.99 a piece) apps specifically for the newly camera-enriched iPad. Personal Hotspot capabilities are also arriving in the latest version of the OS, but they'll be exclusive to the iPhone 4, so you won't be able to share your 3G iPad's connection. <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="267" id="viddler"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/simple/2af82d71/" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="fake=1"/><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/simple/2af82d71/" width="437" height="267" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" flashvars="fake=1" name="viddler" ></embed></object> Would love one but it ain't gonna happen.

Hendo Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Fair play to them, that cover design is a really good idea. Add Garageband to that and I really am very tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 regarding the HDMI, are apple doing their own proprietary output->HDMI, because that's pretty shameless if so. As is charging for a case when people are already paying £600 for your machine. It does seem powerful though, still pointless, but definitely impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
