Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

I'm too lazy to sift through the past few pages to see if anything iPad related was actually discussed so I don't know if this was already brought up...

Looks like Marvel is on board for 99¢ an issue.
 
Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

I'm wondering what format they'll be in. If they are in .cbr files or something similar you'll be able to work around and download them like mp3s or even m4v files. If they are specifically encoded they'll need to be purchase (at first) which is less exciting especially because unlike books i don't necessarily read my comics more than one unless checking facts.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

I have a question, if this thing can't run Flash, how were they playing YouTube videos during the keynote presentation?

YouTube has it set up so that the videos are reencoded when they are pulled from an iPhone. There are videos that for some reason will not be reencoded especially official music video sites and they don't play.

I'm dying to get one. Already found a comic book reader for $3.99, MyComics, that will read .cbr files. You just upload the .cbr and it'll go. :rock

Ah, okay, it seemed like YouTube type scenarios were part of the big fuss about flash but then there's Jobs pulling up YouTube right on there so I was scratching my head why fuss when there it is doing the very thing people were saying it couldn't.
 
Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

YouTube themselves made the conversion but other sites like Hulu for example won't do it, they are Flash based. The biggest complaint is that a ton of sites use Flash content and that on the iPhone they mobilize to a mobile format that eliminates it. The difference is that an iPad will use the iPhone OS and set up which means it won't show Flash based content just like the iPhone but its the size of a small laptop screen which doesn't exactly mesh.
 
Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

That is good. Flash is a terrible terrible format and should have never gotten to where it is now. It needs to die a horrible death.
 
Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

I just purchased a prototype Ipad MINI from some guy at a flea market. It's in a Ipod Touch case though since it's a prototype.

IT IS AWESOME!!
