The I pad, a future in arb?

[Stephen Blair]

i am thinking on buying one for my wife, she is doing a degree and always reads and is constantly learning which i think is amazing when she has me and the 2 boys to look after. If this could help her in any way i am up for it. I have an iphone and i think its great.

Anytime soon there will be android pads too. Im talking to à company WHO is developing à new app for treesurveys....

The Whole thing will be based on android and use gps, camera and even voice to gather info

battery life has always been an issue with all power tools, but they claim the ipad lasts all day? is it true? is that 8 hours battery?

Some applications will tax the battery more than others. They will have to transmit either 3g or wifi although I am sure you will be able to turn that off if needed.

 

On a recent flight (no 3g or wifi) a couple were playing games on the new toy. Between them it got a full 8 hours of work.

I have a iPad wifi 3G its just better than any thing else

have you folk learnt nothing about apple products!?! i should even consider buying one of these, if at all untill the 2nd or 3rd generation come out, 500 plus buck for something that will be obsolete in a year seems a wee bit daft to me, but hey, gotta love the hippsters.

[toprotter]

Got the macbook love it and does it all

Personally wouldnt bother with a ipad or iphone unless I wanted to keep up with the kids in the playground.

 

I break anything with a big screen so I try and avoid tablet types n mac repair costs!

 

(Use samsung b2100 the only phone thats lasted more than 6mths dropped in river driven over it and links blue tooth etc)
