    I'm hoping Dan will jump on this one too. The apple family have been in my life since they came to the Uk. I can't fault the products.
    And I really hope you don't mind me hijacking this thread just for one post slowr1der??:)
    But what is it now with mobile phone/network providers?
    Example
    O2 have been my provider since I can remember right back when it was BT.
    Again I have reached the time they want me to upgrade.
    So now if you Please, send us £169 and we will pop an iPhone 4s into the post and we will continue to take £35.74 a month.
    Get this:confused:
    I can go on line and get the same deal with the same phone with the same Damn provider free if I'm a new customer. WTF.
    Think it's time to learn a new number then??

    Do you mean stuck pics on the forum or on the iPad ? If on the forum are you just uploading to your profile ? So they have all uploaded but 1 is in focus and 1 is not yeah ?

    Are the pics taken on the iPad or on a camera and uploaded via a computer or Appple camera connection kit ?

    No not sticky fingers on the lens lol

    These are professional pics taken during a trackday, i have tried to copy them from photo bucket onto the I pad, they are excellent quality on photobucket but except for 1 pic that I loaded on the iPad rest I have loaded are very poor quality and appear out of focus/blurred

    Ah i see . So the iPad is giving you the option to save the image to your camera roll yeah ? The iPad optimises pics so could be a clash of formats somewhere . Download Ibooks from the app store and save the pics in there as PDF's . you can then move them to the Photo library .

    Fall back plan is if you can view them good quality in the web browser , make sure the pic is full screen and no buttons are showing , press the sleep and home button at the same time to take a screen shot which will save in the camera roll .

    Failing that , Email them to your self from your computer and save the images from the mail on the iPad

    Guys down load Ibooks , thats if you havnt already , its the Ebook reader / PDF viewer ( very good app ) I have the hole CBR1000RR service manual in there along with insurance docs for all of my bikes are cars .

    When you have ibooks you can access the iTunes book store . In the charts under top 10 free books is a good iPad user guide which has a built in search feature . Very handy for starting out !!

    Use FaceTime to keep up with my best mate as we only manage to get together every other month or so since he moved to the third world, or North Devon as they call it on maps and it's superb. Beat the crap out of long phone calls when you can go face to face. Couldn't be without it now. A couple of iPhones are probably on the cards for jeanette and i to make it even more convenient as long as we can get a good deal on a double contract.

    But sorry Dan I'm still not giving up my PC's.
