The New(er) iPad thread. Now with iPad Mini

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

Tow problems, one is icoud for music will force higher bitrate to download to ipad ( i use option to user lower bitrate when I sync to save space) and no icloud for movies. Mine is used to entertainment while I travel.

What sucks about their iCloud is that it doesn't stream, you have to physically download everything, it just stores it there as a file locale. If my wife wants to watch something I download and it's on the Cloud she has to download it herself it just makes it "free" and accessible is all. Once they add the movies to it, it'll just be a bigger hassle.

Yeah, I am NOT a huge fan of iCloud - I'm just saying them releasing the same storage space on this 3rd gen iPad as the 2nd gen is a brilliant business move, and should result in an increase of people using the iCloud service.

As for streaming, it looks like they're now allowing the streaming of iTunes movies now.
edit - or maybe not?! sounds like it's only for ATV?!?!

It will be interesting to see how it works with the "unlimited cap" (or whatever data cap you have). I would think that cap would be exceeded in less than a week with movie streaming!!!

At this point, I'm more curious as to what 1080p means to apple, and if their 1080p movies will match up quality/space-wise to what handbrake can do.

Sweet, mine's already arrived in Anchorage, AK from China. I guess UPS will hold it so it doesn't break street date.

I like the new Ipad but wish they would've added an sd card slot.

I have a 64 gb micro sd card in my Samsung Galaxy S2, I'd like my iPad to have more storage than that.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

i dont think they will ever put a SD slot in it. it would kill the sales of the 32 and 64

apple's solution to more storage= wait till next year's model when we add storage to a new unit....

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

It's frustrating to see something so close to perfect and then something obvious that would be easy to fix.

1) SD slot
2) Adobe Flash

It reminds me of Sony. They make great stuff and then poop in the pool by adding DRM or a proprietary memory card format or some piece of dumbassery. Suddenly it feels like buying a sport car with a tiny dent on the side.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

Flash is on it's way out.
Even Adobe has said that. They've even released translators that will port Flash content over to HTML5 .....

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

I know it's on its way out but there are still a lot of sites that use it

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

Mines in Nashville. I guess they're going to hold it for an entire week before handing it across the state line.

Mine is less than 20 miles away as of yesterday. It's painful knowing its right down the road and stuck there for an entire week. Oh well, since I was told to leave work I will at least be home to sign for it.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

Mine doesn't exist. I'll never buy something my phone and laptop already do. That's not a slam on Apple either. I'll never buy any tablet. No use for one. They do nothing today's phones and laptops don't already do.

I've got to hand it to advertisers though. They have people lining up like lemmings to buy the "new" crap every year even though it's nothing "new" at all.
