As far as personal use goes, I think it will become my low-powered bedroom TV. TVCathcup, Sky Go, BBC iPlayer, ITV Player and 4oD apps allow me to stream most televisual treats to my bedroom, with the justin.tv app allowing me to watch things in a slightly less legitimate way.
I'm interested to see how quickly I adopt it for use over traditional electronic communication methods.
Looks like you are having fun. :)Quote:

I'm getting a new iPhone 4S delivered on Tuesday and have free delivery already thanks. I paid £99 for my iPhone 33 months ago and should hopefully get about £40 cash back for it when it goes for recycling next week. Not a bad return by any standards. :)
Did you get the iPad too?
I shall be selling or recycling my old phone using Quidco but I don't expect to earn more than a couple of quid cash back due to the age of the phone. I didn't use any cash back sites when taking out my contract but did take advantage of the Orange Perks Scheme. Basically if your employer has more than 100 contracts/ numbers with them on a business tariff any employee of the company can get 25% discounted line rental for up to five friends and family if they take out a two year contract. It's worth looking into or asking nicely if you know anyone who's employers use Orange. My other half is on a similar friends and family contract on O2 but the line rental discount is only 20% but you get a discount on the phone as well.
I want a tablet, but I'm not sure I need one. I'm trying to justify getting one. I have a MacBook and a netbook, which I very rarely use. Downloading books, papers & magazines is far easier and doesn't result in piles of papers, magazines, etc
However, I still think they're expensive for what they are.
Someone tell me how to unlock an Apple iPhone that is locked to 02,I am told I can get it unlocked for £10, BUT will not get any upgrades,so I need 02 to unlock it.Spoke with guy in 02 store in Newcastle today,and he tried to explain over the phone,but one of you guys can tell me how todo it via 02 please

Well you can get O2 to do it for free. You could go into town and pay £25-£30. Alternative you could get Apple to unlock it for £100. I suggest you go back to o2.Quote:

64GB too; talk about doing it properly :s hock:
I was in an Apple shop on Saturday, had a look at iPad's etc and I was seriously tempted to buy a 4S, but in the end I walked out - which felt good :D
Pino joined the dark side? :p :
I got a 64gb 4S about a month ago. Although I think I went for overkill on the size due to my old 3G being 8gb which was way too small. If there were issues with signal dropping off on the 4G they seem to have been resolved on the 4S. Don't have any complaints really.
Mark, you should wait for the iPhone 5 or whatever it will be called. Stay strong. :)
I'm glad I got a 32GB because I'm using more than 16GB, but I'm not sure I could justify the extra £100 for space I might not use.Quote:

Facebook is one of the worst apps on the iPhone so I wonder if it's tested at all.
Feel free to disregard my recommendations but for Twitter try Plume, and replace the standard browser with Dolphin HD. :)Quote:

The Facebook app on Android is equally terrible but in all honesty I just use the "touch" version of their website and it's tickety-boo.Quote:

I know Apple get lots of stick, but, they are well made and I've always found them very reliable.
Aren't they putting out a new iPad in a few months? Or is this just rumors? I am considering getting the Samsung Galaxy Tab myself since it's got better value though, being a Kimi fan, I might stick with iPad just so I can get the free IceOne Racing app on iOS. Anybody here played that game?
It's not a few months, more like a few weeks, first week of March --apparently.Quote:

The best Facebook app is probably ,,, the facebook app? :crazy:
So you still use Basic and Fortran then Mark :p
Apple have announced OSX Mountain Lion. What's the relevance to mobile? Well lots more integration between Mac, iPad and iPhone. Apple are well into the idea that you have a Mac at home / work, iPad for sitting around and iPhone in your pocket which all have the same content and apps.
When will they run out of cats?Quote:

That's not how software versioning works. After 10.9 comes 10.10 and 10.11 and so on.
Or even 10.9.1, 10.9.2, 10.9.3, 10.9.3.1 etc as they resolve bugs and issue new releases and updates :)
I'm aware of how software authoring works. I just have a feeling that with the deeper iOS integration we see now, there is an effort to streamline things together in time for the next big step in the Mac OS system. I'd imagine that would be worthy of a new number.
Newbie to this thread, so apologies for questions that may have already been answered in the previous 66 pages :dozey: .
I’ve had my eye on a tablet for a while now but have resisted primarily due to the price.
I’ve recently come across a company-sponsored plan for the purchase of a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 (3G, 16GB). Cost is $150.00 plus $20.00 per month for a 2 year data plan. Total would be approximately $630.00 after 2 years.
Alternatively I could purchase the wi-fi iPad 2 for about $620.
I can’t really see myself making full use of the 3G signal, as just about all my travels involve some kind of free wi-fi access.
So it boils down to similar costs for the two units, but spreading the cost of the Galaxy over 2 years versus a one-time up-front cost of the iPad.
Thoughts?
Also, does anyone know if the cost of the iPad 2 will likely drop once the 3 model is released?
Apple may drop the price of the iPad2 when the next generation is released but I would expect any decrease to be $50 at most. It won't be a lot anyhows. :)
