The iPad thread

Lol, yeah.............a few of those.

(I was going to keep them as they would make for a nice pic in 10 yrs time having 20 worn out keyboards laying around. )

I also forgot to mention, I actually DID buy a Ferrari Acer 4005 laptop off Ebay for $600 a few years ago. **Almost sent me broke**

I never use it, only for when I go away on holidays. It's too big, heavy and overkill for what I use it for. I was sucked in by the "glamma" of owning a Ferrari laptop. Never again.

Waiting for it to blow up so I can replace it with a small 10"-12" notebook which would best suit my needs. Not too concerned about the specs, more so the size.

it weighs just over a kilo and I bet will cost the thick end of $1K with max storage and 3G.

I gave up on all the tablet nonsense and bought a Macbook air. Same weight, similar price, double the cpu power/memory/storage and you can do real work on it.

It used to be that MacBooks were the ripoff for fashion tragics, now tablets have taken over that mantle.

 

lol.. while "fashion tragics" may buy tablets, certain cars, and the next shiny thing, not all tablet users and car owners are "fashion tragics".

 

You made the right decision................













for you.

OK - back to the original subject of the thread (its OK - I'll be brief).

Got an ipad recently and can't figure out why, from time to time, safari shows the website I've typed in greyed out so that nothing is selectable (eg: the screenshot of www.google.com below).

Any suggestions as to how I solve this issue (other than bin the stupid thing?)

Thanks

Someone said now that Jobs is standing down, apple will allow flash on the ipad and iphone. I didn't take it seriously, but..........

Don't worry, there'll be an identical one running Windows 8

 

That'll be a good thing. Can't wait to see it. They're crap with Win 7

 

Lots of videos on the interwebs of it now, although that's not the same as seeing it in person (which you can also do, with suitable hardware, by downloading the preview from dev.windows.com)

 

Link to video?

Nice!

 

Behind Singapore, Australia has the highest smartphone penetration in the world at 37 per cent and we're also consuming more apps, the research revealed. Australians have on average 25 apps on their phone (eight of which are paid), versus 23 for the US and Britain.

 

I reckon I have about 8 pages of apps amounting to over 120 apps of which I only use about 5 regularly. Easy to download and get bored of it after a day.

All my paid for apps I downloaded when I first got the iPhone, now I don't really bother downloading them. Not because I don't want to pay for them but because there is nothing I want.

The only paid for app I use regularly since I got my iPhone 2 years ago is the TomTom app which I find very handy.

 

I've had my iPhone for coming up to 2 years now and have downloaded a total of 8 apps, and like app I use Sygic most (another satnav program, thanks PP). Latest app downloaded is for my gym. Rather than login and print workout on arrival, I log in and give feedback as I exercise.

Other apps used are for travel, the likes of rush hour and other mind games.

 

LOL


OMG


Check out how iOS5 copies so many of the android features!!!

iPads are slippery little buggers aren't they?

 

Within a week of my buying one for a tech-illiterate uncle, he'd designated a lovely fluffy tea towel to wrap it in whenever going out somewhere. Take that Apple, and your 1000% margins on covers
