New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

personal hotspot? is that a 4.3 thing?? I JUST bought mywi

I think the verizon phone had it enabled off the bat, but yeah, it's an addition to the tethering for 4.3

It is a 4.3 thing, I think it's dependent on your carrier though xp

personal hotspot is $45 on at&t?!?!?!!

WAHT

you guys are unlimited data y/n

It depends on when you signed up. I don't think they have any unlimited data plans now, just 200MB/2GB?

Ah. I have 3 Gb/month here and no tethering fee (hence $150 saving on ipad and kindle purchases).

ahhh. I got grandfathered in with unlimited data. sticking with mywi thx

i have a dropbox question

actually never mind i figured it out

What was costing $150 a month? Surely not a data plan??

diff b/n wi-fi kindle (~$50) & 3g kindle + diff b/n wi-fi ipad & 3g ipad (~$100)

diff b/n wi-fi kindle (~$50) & 3g kindle + diff b/n wi-fi ipad & 3g ipad (~$100)

diff b/n wi-fi kindle & 3g kindle (~$50) + diff b/n wi-fi ipad & 3g ipad (~$100)

I have unlimited data and tethering and it costs me $40 a month SUCK IT

can someone explain why I usually have to turn wi-fi off to watch YouTube vids on my iPhone 4? Now that I think abt it, had the same problem with my iPhone 3. kthx

What does "b/n" mean? Sorry, I'm probably being thick.

b/n = between, sorry

my 3gb/mth (inc tethering) costs ~$15/th

/mth

Ah, got you.

you guys are unlimited data y/n

Yes. Grandfathered in with my original iPhone 1.0 plan

I got grandfathered in a year ago November. I think they cut unlimited data plans shortly after. Really hoping I can keep it and get a new iPhone later this year.

so basically this new ipad 2 has 512 mb ram \(^_^)/

Keep forgetting that there's another reason to get the 3G-enabled iPad - the wifi-only one doesn't have GPS. I know location-based services can do a reasonable job with base station triangulation in urban areas, but still.

the only GPS service is use is the maps, i disallow it on everything else.

The GPS abilities these apps have now is scary, as I've seen on my iPod touch - I guess Google is using the IP or something

You mean the non-GPS abilities? Touches and non-3G iPads use triangulation from known wifi hotspots in place of GPS.

It's not just the Touch stuff, I've seen other websites use the same Google maps triangulation too from my home computer

Has the location security settings moved to a more prominent place in 4.3 or am I just imagining it. I'm glad I did because now the Angry Birds won't know where I've hidden their eggs. (serious wtf does angry birds need to know my location for?)

I let all apps know my location. It's wonderful and magical.

so they can fly into your house and knock it down.

It did move though, yeah. Full breakdown here (ilounge does these really well, always worth checking in with them when there's a new firmware): http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/instant-expert-secrets-features-of-ios-4.3/

is there any news about uk ipad pricing? or when that will be announced?

International prices are unknown atm. Given your weak pound they'll probably be more expensive than the last ones.

i just got my hands on a mid 2007 aluminum body imac. its got 1gb RAM and i want to upgrade; is the difference between 4GB (which would mean buying 2x2GB) and 3GB (which would mean buying a single 2GB to slot next to the current 1GB) significant enough to be worth the extra $40?

I think more ram is always worth it and I wouldn't work with less than 4 these days.

my old sysadmin's advice still holds, i think - "RAM is like money, you can't have too much"

well... you can, but the system disparity has to be so great that you wouldn't even consider getting to that point in the first place (like say, a Pentium III with 64GB of RAM)

how would you even fit 64 GB of RAM onto a PIII motherboard, DJP

>:|

that's what SHE said

I have a 24' late 2007 iMac myself, and I got the 4GB upgrade when I purchased it. Unless you're going to junk it in a year or so, I'd say it's worth the extra $15-30 for that 1GB - look around, you can find ~$60 for 2x2GB PC2-5300 SODIMMs, look for laptop memory. I often hit the 4GB ceiling now (though I'm often running 10 apps at once), so I'd say it's worth it.

IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION

best thing since flush headphone jack

Garageband for the iPad works great!

Yeah i wasted my whole Saturday morning on this

ordered one of the new ipads; anyone here have any experience with Papers for iPad? or with djvu viewing on iPad?

Dear Lord I must put GarageBand down now and eat something.

I can't wait for the iZone:
