muikabochi 208 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thinner than the iphone 4! That must be pretty thin. Whatever the specs, reports seem to say it is much faster. Now I never thought that my ipad was slow - though some memory issues - so would be interested to see it in action. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Ipad is simply going to kill all these wannabes. I use my Galaxy Tab for reading and some stuff in the car but ipad is just so much better in almost every respect, it's just not funny. Link to post Share on other sites

I do like the magnetic covers that auto-wake and sleep the device. Very nifty Apple. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm too busy to check those prices but presume they are right. Same price or not, iPad will very likely slay them. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I believe you would not. Yes those covers look cool Hey I'm thinking my lady might want my ipad, she has expressed an interest before. Then, I might want a new 2 one. I'd only be doing it out of kindness to her, of course. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 The devices are great but iTunes is dire. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I don't know if you know this or not Mr Wiggles, but you don't need to be constantly using itunes with the ipad. I use my ipad probably 2+ hours every single day. I think the last time I used itunes was 3 months ago. The only reason I do is to backup. I can't think of any other reason to use it (?) And yes, I have now reminded myself that perhaps I should do that sometime this week. So it's hardly a big downer. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 To put video on it. Or music or photos even. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Whatever, like I said I haven't done that for ages. But when I did put music and videos and photos on my ipad, it was easy. Hardly difficult. I know I'm brilliantly intelligent, but I'm sure that mere mortals and peasants could manage to do it as well. BTW, I'm not trying to claim it is great or anything. Just that it's not that big a deal. For me anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I don't use itunes much, can't say I have much of an opinion on it one way or the other. I have only put photos on my ipad a few times and it seems easy enough. What actually is so dire abou it? Link to post Share on other sites
