Is OS4 seeded for iPad?

2 mins mate

Haven't spotted it yet - will check later.

Moby · May 27, 2010

lol at these terrible iPhone pics - roll on a better camera!

sneeks · May 27, 2010

iPad? Never heard of it.

I don't think Apple have released a beta of 4.0 for the iPad yet as it is not due till later in the year.

Christopher · May 27, 2010

OK. Want.

Moby · May 27, 2010

It's lovely for browsing.

Makes the iPhone feel weird when you use it now.

SC03OTT · May 27, 2010

Damit I want mine NOW. I hate myself for waiting so long to pre-order.

Moby · May 27, 2010

I'm normally in the same boat but for once I decided to pre order.

sneeks · May 27, 2010

I'm still undecided, not sure I really need this as I already own a iPhone and a 13" MBP. Not sure I need anything that falls between those two devices.

Moby · May 27, 2010

You don't *need* it mate - neither do I!

It is a nice device tho. I'm planning on having it sitting in the living room for browsing and for going on holiday with rather than my MB.

dk · May 27, 2010

result, my boss has a spare mifi so said i could have it, glad i didn't go 3g now.

god this thing is slick, love it!

and for once pre-ordering did actually pay off as we got it a day early!

My dads been doing some proper f**king Columbo investigations. We know exactly what time the shopping centre opens, which doors open first and which car park to use. The only thing Apple store won't tell us is how many they have in stock. Next is to try slip the security guards £20 to let us in 5 minutes early to the centre

172Ben · May 27, 2010

Same, called them today - "No idea how many were getting" - Brilliant.

Ill be there well before 9am

Ste#70 · May 27, 2010

Been out here for nearly 2 months now.

Send me the cost + 10% and ill send you one from here in chicago lol!

I love my iPad posting on it now it's so useable :approve:

dk · May 27, 2010

This thing is a dream to use, it seriously makes the iPhone seem s**t for anything other than phonecalls.

Email, sooo much better
Web, screen is a dream
iBooks, wicked
Movies, my digital copy of UP looks amazing
Battery life seems impressive, been using it for a couple of hours and it's on 99%

Only negative so far is non-HD apps are small on the screen, can zoom in x2 but then they get pixelated. Facebook is my main issue, hope the come out with an update soon or I might have to use it on safari.

How much is the F1 App?

dk · May 27, 2010

It's not cheap at £20 but I've had it since the beginning of the season and it was good on the iphone but it's at another level on the pad, awesome on the massive screen, can't wait until sat.

sneeks · May 27, 2010

I'm sure the free F1 app will be good enough on the iPad for the stats.

sneeks · May 27, 2010

I've said i will accompany a friend to the Apple store in the morning while he queues for the iPad, I plan on remaining strong and keeping my bank card locked away. I shall not be tempted to buy!!!! Hopefully.

dk · May 27, 2010

Wow wow wow, just discovered citrix app, this just keeps getting better and better.

Magazines too, and comics, this thing is go much more than a big iPhone.

If you have citrix at work then you have to get one of these. Can you the ipone as a mouse too apparently.

Liquid yellow 182 · May 27, 2010

So tempting but my money remains for the 4g iphone, take it student discount applies for the ipad?

markkram · May 27, 2010

presume you mean of a citrix session, if so here it is.

wattso · May 28, 2010

Sat in th line in the Trafford centre right now for one of these. I must be mad! Been here since about half 5 and the lines now approx 200+ people.
What a bunch of geeks we are!

dk · May 28, 2010

Lol, did you get one?

Christopher · May 28, 2010

Love it. Saw the queues in Manchester on the TV. Awesome.

wattso · May 28, 2010

Yeah mate I'm posting from it now infact in the car on the way home lol
Went for the 32gb 3G in the end.
Haven't had a proper play yet but first impressions are awesome.
Estimate around 300-400 people were in the line by the time we got in!

Christopher · May 28, 2010

A 3G? High roller!

Englebert · May 28, 2010

Saw it on the news this morning. Don't see the fuss. How the fcuk could you carry it about? Why not just get a netbook?

Would be interested to know the warranty on them. Had a couple of Apple products go wrong now and the warranty is pathetic. Apple is for shitcnuts.

LOL...just about to click 'Post Quick Reply' to see i've received an email from Apple promoting you know what...

Griff · May 28, 2010

I've got a £20 note with the Apple logo on it. Anyone want it for £50?

Cookie · May 28, 2010

Clearly I should have just started abusing iDIOTS in here

I may stick Apple badges on some old hp tablets I have at work, call it the iPad2

sneeks · May 28, 2010

Apple Store Glasgow at 7am today. I had queued with a couple of friends and once inside had a play on the demo iPad units but I didn't bother buying one. It's very nice to use but I cannot see any benefit for it in my life right now.

Cookie · May 28, 2010

^ That's a lot of giro moneys

Gally · May 28, 2010

I'd worry about the scratches on the massive screen if using it portabley.

In my experience Apple have been excellent whenever I have required any warranty work.

Theft as well. There's a reason people don't walk around with massive gadgets

I've been there. Is it near the station? Off topic sorry.

I'm going to go into the apple store tomorrow and have a play with one (if I can get near it due to the kids that sit in there on FB all day) and see if I can justify one for myself.

iPad.
