Last Ten Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I'm trying really hard to wait for a proper Android tab, but it's tough to resist the charms of Steve's fondle slab. However, having bought an original version 1 iPod Touch when they came out, and seeing how much better v.2 was, I guess waiting to see what happens in March 2011 with iPad v.2 is worthwhile I used to think like you Bobbie but if you go on waiting and waiting and waiting you are just letting your life slowly slip away My ethos is live for today and enjoy it as tomorrow that bus may just knock you down!

LT I hear you, but I bought a Sony NEX-5 instead. Christmas present for myself. All it has to do is arrive now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyconcrete Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I nearly broke down and bought one today, but (fortunately) couldn't find one in stock anywhere. Get one... I've been using mine a fair amount since Christmas and I'm impressed. Well handy for me, works well with Safari online books, accessing work, general browsing, twitter, video podcasts etc. I know many of the good things aren't limited to the iPad, but the device itself is slick. My kids love the educational, music, art and game apps - so intuitive for kids. Only downside was I found myself tapping the screen of my laptop after using it for a while.

The Old Git Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Anyone thinking of an upgrade? No, my first gen still does all that I want of it so may end up getting alternate generations like I do with the iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theycallmesteve Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 No, my first gen still does all that I want of it so may end up getting alternate generations like I do with the iPhone My thoughts too, and I do the same. But, you know, tempted... ETA: Plus, I don't have two, and never get my hands on the one we have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 If they bring out one with a 250 gig solid state drive (at a reasonable price) I may buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katman Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Why'd you need that much storage on what's effectively a media streaming device? Because it's not everywhere you can get a connection (ie on a plane or on the ferry - without paying a charge). At the moment I have a netbook and I have about 150 of my DVD's ripped and stored on the netbook as mpegs, which I will watch when traveling by plane or ferry. You can't store that many on the Ipad, yes I could just put a few on, but I would much rather be able to store hundreds rather than dozens. I like the Ipad, I have an Iphone 4 and love the interface.
