pie-eater 207 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Funny stuff. Apple can seriously just fart and create this tidal wave of mass publicity. That's pretty impressive. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 All very funny. But the silly extreme stuff (both extremes!) sometimes blurs the fact that it's a quality piece of kit. Link to post Share on other sites

For a 16GB ipad?? Where did you get that from then? My 32GB ipad was 56,000 yen. I bought it in May. The same 32GB ipad is now 44,800 yen, and I'm pretty sure that has only changed in the last week in the run up to the new one being released. The 16GB ipad was originally 48,800 yen, and is now 35,800 yen. Let's correct informations shall we! Link to post Share on other sites

blinkin'ek 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 For those with one..... when do you use it? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 For me it's mostly in an evening ready stuff on my big comfortable chair. Sometimes read in bed too. Don't really take it out. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Just a great way to use the web and mess about without sitting behind a desk and faffing about with a mouse etc etc. Really enjoy using it. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The price info is just what it said on kakaku.com. Under 25000 new or 20000 s/h and I might get one. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well, that information is incorrect, in terms of the actual price of the machine. There's hardly any point in quoting prices that people might have been paying over the odds when there was no supply. The 16GB ipad that is now 35,800 yen has never been any more than 48,800 yen (official apple price). You'd have to be a right dumbwit to pay any more. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Had a student try and convince me today to buy an ipad. Me: But I don't need an ipad. Student : yes you do as you use the internet. Me: but I have a pc for that. Student: but you can turn the ipad on and you don't have to wait. Me: but I can make a coffee while I am waiting for the pc. Student : if you have an ipad, you don't need to drink coffee. Haven't laughed so hard for about a day or two. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 You should have continued it with "But I want to drink coffee" and see just how much more silly it would get. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Originally Posted By: muikabochi Why was he trying to convince you anyway? Because I mentioned that I saw a second hand 32gb wifi model in book off for 38,000yen and he asked me if I bought it. Link to post Share on other sites

griller 9 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Early reviews - Engadget - "iPad 2 managed an astonishing 10 hours and 26 minutes of non-stop playback" -- better than iPad 1 in their testing. - Cameras are "pretty bad" for stills, reasonably useful for video - GarageBand is a "groundbreaking piece of software for tablets" - "The iPad 2 isn't just the best tablet on the market, it feels like the only tablet on the market" - MacWorld - "Pick up an iPad 2 after handling an original iPad, and you'll notice the difference right away. This is a lighter, thinner device." - "The iPad 2 also has 512MB of RAM--twice that of the original iPad--and a 200MHz bus speed, likewise twice that of the original." - "Though the iPad 2 is an improvement on the original iPad in numerous ways, itÂ’s still an evolutionary product, not a revolutionary one" - "In short, the iPad 2 is the fastest iOS device ever made, by a long shot." - AllThingsD - Cameras take mediocre still photos, decent video - Battery life not as strong as first iPad, but impressive. - "It never crashed in my tests, unlike every Android tablet I've tested." - "As of now, I can comfortably recommend it as the best tablet for average consumers." - NYTimes - "My friends, I'm telling you: just that much improvement in thinness, weight and speed transforms the experience.
