iPad UK launch!!!

a1reader · 05-26-2010, 06:31 PM

Almost there now. Has anyone of you guys pre-ordered, and if not any interest out there for Apple tablet??

CHG · 05-27-2010, 02:22 AM

Yepppp gonna pick up a 3g & WiFi 16gb. Already got one of the guys trying to develop a portfolio app for us and also one for the other company.

I swear I must be the only one using it for work though

I really wanted to order one, but for the price I just couldn't live with the lack of multi-tasking ability. It is one of the main gripes with the iphone.

Nothing worse than it shutting down your app so you can quickly browse something on the net, and then having to re-open it back up again.

Not good on something that costs quite a lot. Apple seem very good at selling sh!t loads of products that are missing key features, and then releasing subsequent versions with the options added that should have been there in the first place. The problem is that an ipad is not quite as 'disposable' as a phone and shouldn't need to be upgraded every year IMO lol.

I am an apple lover big time, on my second iphone (3Gs) and wouldn't be without it, also got an imac at home. Just wish they had sorted this ipad properly before selling it.

There is a software up date coming in June for the iPad & the iphone with 3GS, the up date allows multi tasking

Also waiting for ipad delivery tomorrow

KadeSdad · 05-27-2010, 08:03 AM

Midgets aside the multi touch is great, though I am sure they are also great at that...

jvowles · 05-27-2010, 01:35 PM

its one of those things that i dont need...and yes somehow there will be one on my coffee table in the next 6 months....

Hairyarse · 05-27-2010, 03:47 PM

Don't go there we have had plenty of those arguments on Apple products previously

Why didn't you buy a Mondeo instead of the BMW?!!

My initial reaction was just that - but the reality is a 2 year old can use the ipad. You fire it up, and it just works. It intuitive, easy to operate and check the internet. There are load of apps available, and its a great way to get online / check something.

Hairyarse · 05-27-2010, 04:33 PM

I know I'll get it eventually - didn't think id have an ipod ever when they first came out but wouldn't be without it now!

Hairyarse · 05-27-2010, 04:34 PM

...but at the moment it would seem like buying a Mondeo, not a BMW, but with one of the wheels missing

jvowles · 05-28-2010, 12:08 AM

Mondeos are supposed to be ok these days
