New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

I have a sneaking suspicion it's geared toward making me buy stuff from the iTunes store more than anything else

^ solitary posts that sum up the spirit of apple inc.

naw itunes exists to sell devices

this is pretty ill http://techcraver.com/2010/12/19/add-a-screen-to-your-computer-with-air-display-for-ipad

Does Apple only sell the 27" display right now? I'm assuming their policy is that if you want something smaller, you can just buy an iMac and use that, but I kind of want a slightly smaller monitor.

I recently set up my desk again and have my older 20" monitor (Dell, but one of the nicer displays they've made) sitting side by side with my 15" laptop, and... they're the same resolution. It's creepy, because when I first attached it, it mirrored the displays and you end up with one that has huge text and one with tiny text.

is there any good reason to buy an apple display though? aren't there plenty of comparable displays for much much much less?

the cinema displays are much prettier

They have that awesome single cable that splits out into a charger/mini displayport/usb plug, too.

yeah but you can get a dell or something for half the price

the price keeps fluctuating, but i bought a Dell 2209wa monitor for around 300$ when my old Lacie CRT blew. It's one one of the only e-IPS monitors, quality almost as good as an Apple Cinema Display at a price closer to your run of the mill shitty monitor.

^ban as well

Dell makes really good monitors for the price. I've worked in many mac-based graphics departments that used Dell monitors.

apple displays are unsurpassable but priced at a premium so

There are better monitors:

New Dell Lust Object for 2010 and onward

I want that new Microsoft mouse, it is awesome and would look amazing attached to a Mac, I swear.

I would be into monitor recommendations, we can take it to another thread if necessary. Kind of weirded out that no one else seems to be using DisplayPort, but I'm using a DVI adapter now and am cool with that.

I like my 2 Samsung Sync Master 2443s. They rotate and I normally have one portrait and one landscape.

macbook pro -> displayport/vga -> samsung syncmaster here

SYNCMASTER <----ph34r

I hope you mean displayport/dvi

nope, the dvi port on the monitor has my pc plugged into it

i have a 15" hi def anti glare monitor attached to my macbook pro and you can fold it all down into like one lil package for transpo, its p neat

I've got one of those as well. It's not as good as my Dell monitor though.

plz help ty

so if I were to buy iPad apps and download them onto this thing, and then sync it with my computer (to wipe everything out from the old owner) i can redownload what i bought later for free, assuming i use the same iTunes account, right?

Sorry for e n00b questions

Yup

when are the new ipads likely? jan or april?

My money's on the latter.

Last year they were announced in Jan and came out in April.

Last week I read reports that they're due to be shipped to Apple in the next few weeks. I don't know how quickly Apple plans to distributes these things (or even if those reports are accurate, of course) but I suspect Apple intends to sell metric arseloads of iPads next year, and I have a feeling it'll distribute them through telcos with contracts and bundled data plans to increase penetration. It'll need to stockpile like crazy and explode onto the market in April imo.

they don't tend to announced far ahead of release unless for new products tho, is that right? think I'll pick up an ipad 2 if only for football manager and sky sports mobile.

anyone got experience of the latter on an ipad? does it even work on an ipad? I know they've disabled TV out on the iphone versh

Last year they were announced in Jan and came out in April.

i'm guessing that this is probably what's going to happen again this year

I don't think they'll announce that far ahead of the ship dates this year - it would risk gutting the iPad market for a few months while people held out for the new model, which wasn't a factor last year.

good call
