Re: The New iPad
 

So when the Ipad 4 comes out is this going to be "The old new iPad"

Neither can have memory added, or connect to a tv, thats why I bought the ASUS Transformer Tf101 (ICS), and I don't need iTunes on my laptops.

I have bought a 32GB card to use for Video/music.

Re: The New iPad
 

From dicssuions ive been having with mates all new models will be called "The New iPad" so this way they get the option to delay launch of the next one without the expectation of a new one, and stop people holding off for the next one

Re: The New iPad
 

I connect my iPad to our TV, using an Apple connector.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I use my tv for tv and my iPad for ipadding

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

When I go away on business, I would rather watch the films/programmes I have on my iPad on a large screen TV in the hotel room...

Re: The New iPad
 

Well, if Apple actually has any stock left by the time it eventually brings its online store back online in a usable fashion, I'll be going for the 64GB WiFi only model, along with a 3rd generation Apple TV.

Still don't have any need for 3G, but I have found 32GB a bit limited recently.


Yup. I think the Xoom 2 is the same as well (or close to it). Ditto for the Sony Tablet S.

All the other high-end tablets originally cost the same too... although most failed miserably and had their prices slashed again and again, such as the Xoom 1 and PlayBook, while of course the TouchPad failed so badly it was discontinued.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I might get one when I am over in the US in a couple of weeks, at the dollar price...:D

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

iPad 2 has not gone all that cheap then... surprise surprise.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

It's Apple's strategy.

Release an item with a base spec, release an update after a year (with technology they could have released at day 1) at a premium. Don't discount the original by that much.

Repeat. :rolleyes:

They rely on Apple fans slavishly following the cycle...

Re: The New iPad
 

I can connect my iPad2 to my tv using AirPlay and my Apple TV :)

Pretty impressed with the new screen and processor so will probably upgrade.

Re: The New iPad
 

Course with other devices when you run out of memory you just buy more memory, instead of having to replace the entire tablet.

---------- Post added at 10:54 ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 ----------

Screen and processor are both no better than my year old smartphone, and a lot worse than what will be my next smartphone. Meh.

Re: The New iPad
 

On the other hand, the screen and processor are still way in excess of most people's requirements. I've said this before and I'll say it again - the vital statistics simply aren't vital. Apple isn't catering to the market for nerds who care about who has the biggest numbers. It's catering to the market where users value style and simplicity.

My iPad1 is a workhorse ... its life is more like the PADD you see being tossed around in Star Trek TNG than a handheld HD telly for gawping at. It gives me access to contacts, diary and email wherever I am and earns us money by allowing us to take business enquiries while we're out and about. If I want my office to be a branch of Starbucks for a couple of hours, I can do that (much more effectively than I could with any smartphone - the physical size of the thing becomes limiting after only a few minutes). Plus, it synchronizes seamlessly with all the same gear on my desktop, which is on a Mac and has been for years. In fact making it all work together for the first time was as simple as giving the iPad a user name and a password. It was ready to roll in less than 30 seconds.

Plus it runs a load of bizarre, slightly surreal Toca Boca kids games that my three offspring absolutely love. Everybody's happy. :D

I don't need to compare stats or prices with any other tablet, Apple or otherwise. It does what I need it to do, simply and without fuss, out of the box. That's what Apple is good at designing and building and that's why I'm happy to keep giving them my hard-earned. Except not this time - my iPad will be getting replaced when it dies, not when a newer, shinier one comes out.

Re: The New iPad
 

I think the screen is certainly better....:erm:

Re: The New iPad
 

If I ever run low on space all I need to do is remove apps I am not currently needing as I can easily redownload from iCloud later.

Also the processor is fast enough and powerful enough for what peoplewill use the device for. It will even allow you to edit photos up to 19MP with no issues using the new iPhoto app.

Dual core CPU and quad core graphics on a tablet are more than adequate for doing work, browsing the web and anything else I need to do on the train or out and about. It doesn't need to be any more powerful than that. Its also reported that the A5X is way more powerful than the new Tegra 3 chips.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I think the screen on the iPad2 is great, and for its size I don't think it needs anything better. As for the other extras, I think it's a bit of a waste for me. As Chris pointed out correctly, I won't upgrade anything like this till the one I'm using now dies. I don't think the iPad3 is needed at all just yet. But saying that, kudos for them on the tech.

Re: The New iPad
 

You have a smartphone with a 9 inch screen - wow!!!;)

Re: The New iPad
 

and with higher res than 2048x1538 lol :D

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I watch streaming 720p films on the ipad, and they look great, how would having a better screen improve something that doesn't need improving. Okay it might look slightly sharper but apart from being a bit of a gimmick, is it really worth paying out to update?

I think I need to see one before I can really say otherwise, but I don't think the screen res would change my opinion regardless. (unless they change the size of the ipad to table size).

Re: The New iPad
 

I don't think that applies to the iPad at all.

The first didn't have a "base spec", as there was nothing to compare it to.

The second didn't have a "base spec", unless you also consider the 2011 competition (Tab 10.1, Xoom, Sony Tablet S, etc.) to have "base specs" too.

And the third doesn't have a "base spec" either.

As for adding technology that should have been added earlier, other than cameras (which I still consider pointless on a tablet) I don't see what else could have been added earlier.

"Retina display"? Too expensive. Apple looked at it last year, with Sharp, LG, and Samsung. Sharp could produce the required yields, but was too expensive. LG and Samsung were cheaper, but couldn't manage the yields. Now, finally, it's got cheap enough and of sufficient quality to introduce this year.

Quad-core? Probably would have cost too much at the time. Also, if Apple should have done that last year, then surely Samsung and all the other competitors should have gone with the Tegra 3 last year not the Tegra 2? ;)

What else?

At a premium? How? The iPad isn't overpriced, unlike certain other Apple products. As mentioned earlier in the thread, the equivalent competition all cost exactly the same (except for those that failed miserably and had to have massive price cuts to try and stimulate sales). Each iPad version has also cost the same as the one before (with the 32GB & 64GB 2nd & 3rd gen actually coming in cheaper than the 1st gen).

Oh, and if Apple was relying on fans "slavishly following the cycle", how come sales of the iPad are so huge, and continue to go up and up and up and up every single quarter? That can't just be from "Apple fanboys" buying the 1st gen, then selling the 1st gen to buy the 2nd, then selling the 2nd to buy the 3rd. The iPad continues to sell more than all the competition combined, plus in Apple's most recent quarter it even sold more iPads than any single computer manufacturer sold PCs... including the big three HP, Dell, and Lenovo. Over 15 million units in one quarter. That's not just Apple fans.


Yearly cycle? So what? They all do that, with some even more frequent. Samsung has released a new Galaxy tablet each year for the last three years (sometimes more than one - last year has the Tab 10.1 plus two smaller ones)), and also a new Galaxy phone each year. Motorola has released a new Xoom. And so on. Phones, tablets, they all get annual refreshes, it's not just Apple.

Re: The New iPad
 

I don't. Contrast and colours are more important to me than the biggest pixel count.

---------- Post added at 14:34 ---------- Previous post was at 14:33 ----------

I value style and simplicity too. So I value the simplicity of things I need such as tethering, VOIP, and all my existing media files just working out of the box on the competition whereas on an iDevice I have to download additional apps or even root my device and void the warranty. Oh and lets not forget the simplicity of all my existing SIMs just working without having to slice them down or sign up for yet another additional mobile contract..

---------- Post added at 14:37 ---------- Previous post was at 14:34 ----------

If I ever run low on space I could delete apps and redownload them later just as easily. But I don't have to because I won't run out of space.

So why are you "impressed" and want to upgrade because of the faster processor, if you're saying it's already good enough? If Apple make a faster device, you want it because you're impressed it's faster. If someone else makes an equally faster device, you rubbish it because your Apple device is already "fast enough". Your logic confounds me.

---------- Post added at 14:39 ---------- Previous post was at 14:37 ----------

No, I have a smartphone with a 4.3" screen. If the only thing that made a screen better was it's size, then we should all be buying these:

---------- Post added at 14:41 ---------- Previous post was at 14:39 ----------

Erm.. what?
So instead of using better quality screen technology, they're pushing ridiculous pixel counts... because?

Like I said, I'm more concerned by the quality of the pixels than the number of them.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Hopefully some people can grab some cheap second hand ipad2's

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

That's how I got my ipad1. ;). Mine was sold on eBay as used, but when it arrived it was brand new and boxed. 64gb wifi and 3g. I won the auction at £360 including delivery.

Re: The New iPad
 

A tablet is different from a phone, they address different concerns. You need a bigger screen for that. The quality of the existing iPad display is good, the new one looks very better. Increased pixel count does have an effect on the quality of the screen, it increases the detail of the image. For example the iPhone 4 screen is much better than the previous one as a result of the increase in pixels.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

But on the other hand it'd look *even* better if they used a better display technology with fewer pixels. There's only so much you can do even if you push the pixel count to infinity if you don't bother improving anything else.

Re: The New iPad
 

However as I don't use all 248 of the purchased apps I don't need to have them on my iPad all the time.

Well the better screen quality and faster processor, its more the whole device and all the new features rather than just one of them. However I have never rubbished my current iPad or any other device.

I won't be upgrading right away though as I will wait a few months.

I use a GS2 as my phone and its a fairly powerful device too. However in terms of tablets Android is only just becoming decent for large screen devices and Apple have made a fantastic device that has yet to be beaten.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

The new iPad, especially the screen, is getting a lot of praise from tech pundits.

Let me see an iPad or lots of RAM. I'll stick with my iPad thanks :dozey:

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Got my 3rd gen delivered today, the screen alone is worth the cost of the upgrade..it's a world apart from the original iPad and I was over the moon with that till now. Along with the iPad2 price reductions, Apple's stranglehold on retina screen supplies, Android and Win8 tablets have a ridiculously high mountain to climb to compete.
This and the original iPad have been the only times I've been so enamoured with a piece of tech, nay anything inanimate, in my life.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Heh. The researchers around here have tons of spare budget and if they don't spend it they lose it, so they often just buy the most expensive shiniest stuff they can find. Which in most cases means the Linux department academics end up all working on a pile of iMacs, Macbooks and iPads.

Hooked up to Apple Cinema Displays of course.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the Google Android thread or here but since it seems that the Ipad is where the problem lies I'll try here.
My problem is that I'm trying to transfer an MP4 that is correctly formatted for the iPad from my HTC evo or my Xoom. Neither are having any luck, they will send to eachother and even other phones but the iPads having none of it. I've tried Bluetooth and WiFi without much success, got furthest with WiFi but then safari refused to download an item in that format so I decided that rather than waste more of my time I would tap some of your collective wisdom on here to find out if its even possible to send MP4s to the iPad without iTunes on a desktop of some variety?

Edit: Its an iPad 2 16gb 3G if that makes a difference? And we are willing to purchase Apps for android or IOS if its guaranteed to work but not willing to Jailbreak the iPad (Xoom is allready rooted and running ICS US official).

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Try Dropbox if they're not huge file sizes. Not tested myself so I don't know if Dropbox will allow you to choose an app to play the files once you've obtained them. Worth a go though, it's free and very handy to have.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Not really an option either I'm afraid since he doesn't have a home broadband and doesnt want to loan me his ipad to use my home bb. We have been trying to do the transfer at work and neither of us have enough mobile broadband data to move it all. Which is why I thought Bluetooth would be perfect if a little slow.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

iOS does not support Bluetooth for data transfer... only e.g. audio and keyboards.

Is iTunes totally out of the question then?

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Not out of the question, just not ideal. That is unless you can do a guest connection on iTunes? Because if not that means it will need to be partnered with my laptop since he doesn't have one of his own. Unless I am mistaken about the whole partnership process and it won't effect the transferred content if he connects it to a different desktop with iTunes?

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Just create another user on the laptop and install another itunes.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I don't have any apple products so that wont effect me what I meant was that if he buys a new desktop in a few months time will it not delete all the content I have copied once he partners it up to his ipad?

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I'm not sure about video content, but I'd have to say probably.. That said, if he has a desktop there's no problem is there - just put them back on!
We have 6 Apple devices here and I never use iTunes unless I'm updating firmware as I hate the damn thing.
I transfer music and video to and from them all using CopyTrans as it just works instead of being fussy.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread

Re. the 4G nonsense:

The Apple UK website now makes it quite clear that it's not "4G" in the UK, and instead makes more of a point about the "ultra-fast wireless" provided by support for HSPA, HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

I've heard rumours that the new iPhone 5 connector will be 19 pin and thus incompatible with all earlier 31 pin devices.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Incompatible, but Apple are likely to produce an adaptor. A lot of their users have bought accessories (such as speaker docks and video cables) and Apple won't want to take the risk that those users will be angered enough by the change in connector (which would render their accessories useless) that they may go to Android or another competing system.

I've heard of people using VNC wirelessly to do a similar thing but there are too many display related compromises.

2) "Discover More". This is the zeebox integration mentioned some time ago. If you bring up a programme in the guide, you can select "Discover More" to bring up more info on it, with options to find out more about the cast members and visit related links. It also has Twitter integration if you'd like to post about something from within the app.

iPad Mini:

http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/23/3...e-announcement

http://www.apple.com/uk/ipad-mini/overview/

7.9", 1024x768, Apple A5 SoC, Lightning connector, LTE for the "cellular" model... Ships 2nd November. 16GB / 32GB / 64GB WiFi only models are £269 / £349 / £429, add £100 for WiFi + Cellular.



4th generation iPad:

http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/23/3...-lightning-a6x

http://www.apple.com/uk/ipad/overview/

Like the 3rd generation iPad (which was only released in MARCH! :mad:), but with an Apple A6X SoC instead of the A5X, Lightning connector, expanded LTE support for the "cellular" model so it will work with EE's 4G LTE in the UK. Ships 2nd November, same price points as the "New" (now old and discontinued) iPad - 16GB / 32GB / 64GB WiFi only models are £399 / £479 / £559, add £100 for WiFi + Cellular.



[Also announced in the same event, but nothing to do with iPads:

A new iMac design. Thinner (no optical drive), new display, Ivy Bridge & USB3, NVIDIA GPU instead of Radeon, 8GB RAM to start instead of 4GB, option for a "Fusion" hybrid SSD/HDD.

A new Mac Mini.

A 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display.]

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Why spend money on the 4th generation iPad - the 5th one will be here soon...

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

Personally, I buy tech when I believe it will help me perform some necessary task or make my life easier in some way. The fact that today's latest model is tomorrow's eBay stock clearance is neither here nor there. If I happened to be looking for a replacement for my iPad1 in the next 6 months, I'd buy an iPad4 without hesitation.

As it happens, the iPad1 is still going strong and doing everything I need it to*, so I'm not upgrading for the forseeable. Mrs T. is drooling all over the iPad mini though, as she would really quite like an ebook reader but we can't quite bring ourselves to go down the Kindle route seeing as everything else in the house is Apple and all slots together rather nicely.

*And something the current iPad does not do, namely offer a built-in mapping application that's fit for purpose. The iPad1 will not update its OS beyond version 5 and is therefore 'stuck' with Google Maps.

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

You could say that about any tech...


Although extremely annoying, I can see why Apple did this. It's already moved the iPhone's release schedule from the summer to the "fall" (albeit via a delay, not an extra release!), and it makes sense that it would want the iPad to be released around the same time of year. Sales during the "holiday season" should be better than spring...

I doubt that we'll be seeing another one until next October/November. A6X plus Lightning + changes in the LTE area + wanting to change the schedule all combine to give Apple a good reason to mess with things (& anger people) as a one off. There's no need for another refresh in March 2013.


Really annoying, though, as I bought my iPad 3 at launch back in March! :mad::(

Re: The Apple iPad Thread
 

<offtopic>
I got one 12 months ago, and I'm glad I did. I'm not ready to lose my DVD drive yet and my desk space is tight, which is one of the reasons the all-in-one form factor of the iMac appeals to me. I would prefer not to have a stand-alone optical drive cluttering the place up, just to save myself half an inch on the depth of the main computer. What's the point in squeezing it thinner anyway? reducing that dimension isn't going to allow it to fit in any spaces it doesn't already and it doesn't need to be any lighter as it's a desktop machine.
