Ipads

[RobRainford]

You should have waited. There's a new version coming out in a couple of months with a camera and more features!

 

I would have one already if I could afford it and stop buying kit!

What puts me off them at the moment is that they have so few ports. Am I right in thinking you can't plug in a keyboard or SD card etc. And you can't play DVD's on them or write on to a CD?

There is a very good keyboard that comes with it (screen tap) and you can use the mac external keyboards plus there is now a case with an integrated keyboard so there are possibilities if that's a concern.

 

You are right about the other two, the iPAD will never replace a full home media system but for those that want to look at the web and use multimedia whilst on the go it's excellent.

 

Would a SD slot be useful, yes, I have never burnt DVD's so don't miss it but as these things advance then I am sure other features will get added.

Went to my local Apple store today and had a good go on one of these, and decided that it isnt for me. Not overly impressed with carrying a huge gadget costing gadzillion of pounds around, bit of a penis extension if you ask me.

Its great I'm using mine now, it won't replace my laptop but is so much better to take to hotels.

If I want to check my arbtalk and emails its ready in 5 seconds

 

Get one Steve you'll love it.

So whats the galaxy tab like then?? How does it compair

[Rich Rule]

Ian is the galaxy the samsung? If so my mate got hold of one pretty much as soon as they were available. He seems impressed but it felt clunky - too small to be an iPad, far to large to be a mobile!

[Mesterh]

I have an Ipad and think its the dogs.

 

I think some people try to compare it to a laptop and therefore think its rubbish.

 

Its not a PC or laptop but its still great.
