that's the one - the one with USB 3.0 on it. and miniport. and an i5 processor with 4GB RAM. and a fully fledged operating system on it. the one that businesses will be buying into for their sales teams and probably more across the enterprise due to the fact it's a windows based machine, so is immediately and easily integrate-able in existing AD environments, light and can act like a tablet or a more serious machine. yes.

:confused:

I thought it had Windows 8 on it?

:D

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

ha! ha! yeah it does! lol. although to be fair, I think W8 will be ok (note, just 'ok') on a touch-screen. I don't like it on a desktop though. I'm trying to like the OS, but just can't do it.

Been playing around with Drone FX recently. Basically an ambient soundscape generator based on looping phrase samples. Brilliant stuff for 2 quid.

Real Racing 3 (from EA) is now free for iPad, iPhone, and Android.

Not compatible with original iPad due to lack of a gyroscope :cry:

I've been playing that the last week or so. Love it.

It's come in for a lot of criticism due to the micro-transactions / "freemium model", but I don't think it's a problem at all unless you are so impatient (or so crap) that the only way you can unlock cars and events is to use real money.

I've put a good few hours into it so far and have not spent a single real-life penny on it. I've easily managed to unlock more events and make lots of in-game money without having to pay real money.

The "Time Synced Multiplayer" ("TSM") is a great feature. It's quite satisfying when you beat the times etc. of your friends, plus you get bonuses for doing so.

I've got it linked to my Facebook account, so if anyone from here is playing it and is on my FB friend list then you should see me. Also, any iOS players can add me as a friend on GameCentre - "Tezcatlipoca".


There are only two things I am disappointed with:

1) It does not have AirPlay support, despite Real Racing 2 having it.

2) It does not use iCloud for game save syncing, despite this being a feature of iOS that various other games use. This is a pain, as it means you cannot play on one iOS device and then carry on from the same point on another iOS device. As such, I've been concentrating on playing it on my iPhone. When the devs finally sort this issue (they are allegedly working on a solution), I'll play it on my iPad, too.

If I bought an ipad from a high street store. would it have the latest firmware on it do you think?

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

It wouldn't really matter if it didn't as you would be prompted to install it once you've set up a WiFi connection.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

No, I don't want the latest one as I can't do that thing with it where I can set it free.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

You mean jailbreak it Lol. Think the current one is 6.2.something.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Yeh. the prison thing.
last time I said the word some warden deleted the post :)

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Just get an android tablet then. No need to set it free as it already is ;-)

I hate change.
