I'd love a new iPad. When i can't get on the lappy I have to use my iPod. Tiny screen and fat fingers don't mix.! Am interested in how well the new screen is for reading as at the minute I have a kindle for ebooks. Might be an excuse to upgrade
Matt and Dan looked into this on my behalf back a while Arthur. It looks like something to do with the vbulletin software and safari compatibility. I switched to Skyfire for the pad.
Thanks kpone Si you come over from pc's? Only two gripes so far is the vids but will try skyfire also it's a bit of a bummer that iTunes only places one sub dir down with images, think it will take me a while to get used to it all, problem is I have around 3,500 photos or more all in folders..
iTunes suffers from being designed for the lowest common denominator mate. For which the bar is being constantly raised. So whenever you want to do something remotely resembling common sense with it there's a tendency for it to go all 'we think this is a much better way of doing it' on you.
currently have the Ipad 1 and 2. Ipod Touch and nano and Dan says I don't like Apple because I don't have the Iphone
Another day with it starting to find apps that do what you need, I am a tight git so dont like to spend 1.99 on an app to do something that I could do f.o.c before...lol But in the end after hours of looking I guess it PAYS to just shell out the small amount of dosh to get what you need.. I am loving it though its just sooo slick with music and photos, just want to get the hundreds of PDF's on at some point (dont know why as they are all on my workshop pc anyway and this has no outputs for the big screens I have in my workshop). The point I have to remember is I purchased it as a PAD so trying not to start and use it for full blown image editing etc.. Heres a Q for you all whats the best SIM FREE ISP? Looks like I will be looking at 02 at the mo as they offer a deal like 10.00 month for unlimited data? Any way no rush just want to get some 3G running soon too
Giff Gaff seem to do some good deals mate £10 a month for unlimited data. The reason I didn't get the wi-fi + 4g is because I just figured I would get an unlimited data plan with 3 on the i phone 4s upgrade and then tether it with the iPad wi-fi.......saving dosh all round
Got a 3 sim but signal and speed os so poor I'm going to cancel it ASAP! Does anyone have problems with very slow YouTube download speeds? I see many others have the same problem, it's the one thing that's pi££ing me off with the iPad at the mo, apple seem to say nothing re YouTube speeds?
Ah, you've come to the dreaded YouTube Arthur. I haven't got a clue what the issue is but you're not alone. My bandwidth at home is crap but YouTube works after a fashion with all of my PC's, but with the iPad it's up and down like a whores drawers. Sometimes it works brilliantly, other times it won't work at all. It might be a Flash matter. Zee's von Grumble videos start then stop as if they're buffering but then nothing happens. Gawk knows what it is but it's a major pain.
Isn't the native iPad you tube full hd? What I mean is, that if you browse videos or click on links, the you tube app loads it in hd automatically, hence it's a bit slower than sd? (if it's uploaded in hd)
Yeah I know Dan, not 3G mate wifi is the problem I have three or four pc's here that all work fine, the problem is that iPad defaults to 720p not a good idea when you can change the qual! God know why on a mobile device they would not give you an option for quality! Some say if you change the DNS server to 8.8.8.8 it streams faster, it does seem a little quicker but I am not convinced shame when apple spend all that time on the retina desplay they over look the silly things they give you a pin sharp device with quad core graphics that fails to download YouTube... I mean! £600.00 and it struggles with the one thing the nets good for....watching video.....lol
Ah if you google YouTube mobile, use the link then turn off HQ your off.... Now just wait three years for them to develope the YouTube app!
Top man Rob! Well think Im scrapping my 3G (3) contact after only 3 days...lol Good job its a rolling one.. Just no signal and VERY VERY slow, Prestel was faster or even Orical/teletext! Had to take out another broadband pakage for the other location I need internet! B@LLs come to mind... 2012 and you still have to go to a load of trouble to get BASIC brodband out of town in the UK! Rubbish me thinks!
my iPad3 arrives in the next 2 weeks as the Ipad 1 I had I always go for the top one 64gig 4g + wifi etc people are reporting heat issues with the bottom left hand corner with prolonged use - any of you getting this ?
Nope mine been fine, no heat at all, I do have a light weight cover on but it seems normal, runs for two days with lots of use on one charge, been very happy and three are upping the 3G coverage on the 28th so should be even better out and about.. 64gb is a lot of space I've never filled 16 let alone this 32 but then I only store a few movies and some tunes and as for images once post they don't take up much space, got to say the screen on the new pad is worth the money IMO.
