muikabochi 208 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hey when you sync with your computer, does it take a long time to go through that "backup" process. Mine takes ages. (Like, over an hour last night). Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 OK I downloaded the free version of that. I am stuck on level 3. I simply cannot work out how to solve that. This kind of thing frustrates me, quickly deleted! I like Talking Larry though, he's cool Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Damn. Times app expired today. They want 2000 yen the cheeky gits. I haven't spent much time with the new version but it looks good. I'm confused though. I read that if you sub to the websites, you get the iPad version included. But that Is cheaper than the 2000yen just for the app. Sent them a mail. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 This is strange. Here's what the times just told me. If I subscribe to their websites (times + sunday times) I can use the ipad app for free. The sites cost 2 quid a week. So that's 8 quid a month. If I buy just the ipad app, that costs 2000 yen a month (13-14 quid a month)? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 It sounds like they're just making up numbers without regard to cost and trying to screw the gullible. Here the gullible are people who use the iPad more than a regular computer, since apps are normally fee-based and newspapers on the web are not. I went to buy a song the other day, but it was 150 yen on iTunes on my ipod (which connected to Japanese store) and 99 cents, or nearly half the price, on my computer (which connected to US store). I could get a physical cd sent from the US for less than the cost of downloading some (probably low bitrate) mp3s of the album from the Japanese iTunes store. In this example, the gullible are those Apple are gouging in Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Sounds to me like they are just unsure as to what to do and trying different things. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Just heard back from times after my "is this true or false" after explaining my understanding of the situation. Here it is: If you subscibe to The Times + The Sundays Times website, you get the ipad edition as well. It is 2 quid a week so 8.66 pounds a month. So that's say about 1300 yen. I do like the ipad version and will be good to get the sites too, and 1300 yen a month sounds reasonable to me so I think I'll do that. The ipad alone from the Japanese store costs 2000 yen a month.
