iPad 3 - Released March 16th. Pre-Orders start 7th March

[Gally]

Yes.

Lols. Curt.

 

[Tom]

Long answer, the iMovie template didn't do lower case.

 

[Gally]

Quite shocking.

 

[JaseCat]

My White 32gb 4G and Apple TV 3 have just arrived!

The screen is just stunning!

I'm busting a nut on this train trying to get home to play on mine

When I ordered the iPad 2. It cost me £50 on Vodafone and £29 a month.

Now they want £275 up front and £27 a month? Doesn't make much sense.

Probably to get lots of pre orders,

Shorter contract?

 

[eugegall]

No both of the above are on 24 month. In fact i don't think i was silly. I think the iPad 2 was on 18 month. Could be wrong though.

 

[Revels]

iPad on a contract is a monumentally stupid idea.

 

[eugegall]

iPad on a contract is a monumentally stupid idea.

On current contract prices I'd totally agree with you.

However the previous deal was pretty good for people needing a 3/4G who can't afford the entire cost upfront. Like me.

18 x £29 = £522 + £50 up front cost = total paid £572. This includes 3g data each month.

Oh and that was on a 32GB too.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

What do I need to stream downloaded films from my PC, to my iPad? I'm not upto date with all this streaming malarkey

 

[Tom]

Plex is probably the nicest way to do it.

 

[Ronnie R]

Sister just picked mine up from Argos. Only reserved it this morning, my manager who sits next to me has had his on preorder since the announcement and his still hasn't arrived :quiet:

 

[jenic]

Aceplayer might not be as nice, but it means you don't have to run plex on your computer. It's free too, no idea if plex is.

 

[Tom]

Plex isnt free. Just good.

Aceplayer is £2?

 

[jam.]

Gah mine still isn't here. Wish I just bought one instore now, what a waste of a day off.

 

[jenic]

Plex isnt free. Just good.

Aceplayer is £2?

Oh, was free when I got it.

Bonus, my parents are on holiday in Florida at the moment, so I asked them if they could pick me one up if they got a minute. They've just mailed me to say they've got one, and as with the 2 I purchased over there last year, it's saved me close to £100.

Result.

 

[Lee]

Result.

I know, I wasn't even going to bother, but figured I'd take a punt. :approve:


My bro wants my 2, so that's going to get shipped back to Florida!!

 

[ukaskew]

Mine is sat in a UPS Warehouse in Avonmouth tonight, if they want to play with one Phoned them to see if I could collect it to tomorrow and they seemed a bit unsure, but assured me it would be open. I better not be wasting 60 miles worth of petrol!

 

[jam.]

Boom! I'm now padded in i. Glorious.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

Mine still isn't here, it went out for delivery on the van at half 5 this morning what has he done for 12 hours

He's been playing on his new iPad you bought him.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

he will have to drop it off some time, the battery must be flat by now only has a 10 hour IIRC

 

[mas]

Not too sure if they will have sold out by now, but I'm nipping to the Trafford Centre after work to see if anything has been left. Fingers crossed.

 

[19sam92]

Just picked mine up the screen is worth it alone, massive improvement.

Voice dictation seems to work very well too.

ZOMG don't you know how hard delivery drivers jobs are.

They don't have time to ring your doorbell

Demand is high and they are stretched companies make little money nowadays

/deeg

[C.J]

Today's purchases.

Love the new screen. 2 of them are slightly different colour (warm vs cold colour). But not enough to warrant a return.

 

[mas]

Why four?

 

[sneeks]

iPad 3rd gen owners from this thread are b******s!!! You have forced me to sell my iPad 2 and I now own a new retina adorned iPad. I'd been so strong until today

 

[kpowell911]

Whats a mint base iPad 2 16gb wifi worth lol?

You snapped like a cheap kitkat

 

[sneeks]

You snapped like a cheap kitkat

I certainly did. I thought I'd at the very least resist launch day! I now own a iPad with no 3G and 16gb less storage space. On the plus side the screen is awesome. Buying was easy enough without a reservation, I walked into Currys at 6 PM, and walked out five minutes later with a new iPad.

 

[C.J]

Whats a mint base iPad 2 16gb wifi worth lol?

£240 ish.

 

[aucky]

I just bought a refurbed one for the GF for £280ish from Apple.

I set mine up as a new iPad, and the first issue I had was the sky sports app, said I already had too many devices, so I pressed reset and then after a few times it let me log in.
then went to sky go and tried the same but it said I already had 2 devices registered (iPhone and iPad 2?) and I had already made all the changes I could this month, pants.
then I tried sky plus app, it's been f**ked by retina, just doesn't work on grid view

At least my sky sports app works for this weekend anyway.

 

[jam.]

I got the same with Sky Go - which is odd as I've only used it on my iPhone before.

Speaking of which, my iPhone now feels like a child's toy after mucking about with this for the past few hours.

I loved how it automagically downloaded every app I've got on my iPhone. Oh and the screen, I love that too. It's rediculously good.
