The new iPad (1 Viewer)

[iRuler]

that is unfortunate - although I don't think it the ipad/iphones will ever support flash. Isn't even adobe now not really working on flash anymore? (or something like that)

Adobe gave up on the mobile version of flash, they came up with a flash to html5 converter for people to use instead. So keep designing in flash then convert to html5.

I'm actually deliberating now whether or not I want an iPad HD just to see the net in super high resolution lol. Could be fun. But then also a bit of a waste of cash.

Anyone have a better idea of how HTML5 is moving as the new standard?

My mum bought one of these for my little sister, it's coming this week iirc


will report when it arrives

I ended up getting one (my first tablet)

Pretty impressed so far. Useful when out and about. Sure beats looking stuff up on a small mobile phone screen.

But do you find it inconvenient to carry it though? That's been my biggest gripe- I can fit an iPhone in my pocket and forget about it, but a tablet is something I always have to carry (or wear a bag for).

true..
i bought one the other week as well - my first tablet.. pleasantly surprised with how good it is.

But yeah, your definitely right.. it is quite big, and in terms of carrying it around it's basically attached to me everywhere i go now which can get a little annoying at times.. but I guess because I go to uni practically everyday with a bag it makes things a lot easier.

I think if I caught public transport as opposed to walking/driving to work then it might be more useful as a way to consume media. The only time I can think I'd use it is when I'm at the gym and want to watch movies on a screen bigger than my iPhone lol.

I have surplus USD and no easy/cheap/effective way to convert it to Aussie. Tempting just to buy the 16gb iPad here.

 

[seremify007]

Ended up buying a 16gb black iPad 3 wifi today from Grand Central Station. I figured it'll keep me entertained on the 30 hours or so of flying I have coming up to get from here to Europe and back to Australia. Surprisingly Grand Central only had two models available- 16gb wifi black or 64gb 4g white.

And no it wasn't cheaper than Sydney but I had a bit too much cash left over and I know if I tried to convert it to anything I'd lose a lot on spreads at retail level

Can anyone recommend any good apps?

Can anyone recommend any good apps?

for what?

 

[Carrotsticks]

for what?

I presume she is referring to 'General useful applications'.

You know when you first get an iPad/iPhone/Android etc you download basically every single app you see because "it might be useful later"?

fruit ninja
tom tom gps
street fighter 4
snake 97
tripview

are the apps I use most on my iphone

 

[seremify007]

Tripview is pretty good. Also use Whatsapp (can msg my Android and BB friends), Sleep Cycle, Trapster (not much though), Speed Tester (to see how fast my internet connection is), VLC (downloaded it before they took it down), Domain and Real Estate.com.au (for looking up properties), Shazam...

I also play Draw Something, Temple Run, Angry Birds, Sims Freeplay (rubbish game but strangely I'm still playing), NFS Hot Pursuit, Real Racing 2 HD (iPad), Simcity.

 

[Dylanamali]

^ pricey games right thurr, are those ipad games or iphone games?

 

[seremify007]

Some from each. Draw something, sim city and real racing are definitely a lot better on the iPad. The others I have on both my iPad 3 and iPhone 4S and think both are great. The only one better on iPhone is temple run.
