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:

quick question wrt the new HDMI out - will you be able to output the sky sports feed via the iOS sky sports app to a telly?

and is there any way to watch atdhe/myp2p feeds ON IPAD

i dunno but they work great on my..... ps3

why didnt anyone tell me the interface for ipad reeder was boring as fuck before i dropped 5 big ones on it?

Boring but effective.

say what? Reeder has justified buying an ipad singlehandedly. Can't fucking wait for the mac app store version to come out - so fed up with netnews reader

this is boring http://smokingapples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/reeder-ipad.jpg

when you finally drill into yr feeds it's great, but this main screen is just awful

baaderonixx the Mac beta is now stable enough to use every day. Still can't manage feeds though :(

I stopped using Mac beta Reeder, but love it on my iPhone. Find I use google reader on mac out of habit, and was annoyed by not being able to manage feeds, and constantly being asked to redownload it.

bbbbut PS3.... has no games
xps

I agree the main screen is boring, but I don't have any immediate suggestions how they could make it as useful as the iPhone version's opening without another similar screen-wasting thing.

I'm really getting into using Flipboard more, lately.
