New iPad

[djrashonal]

I'm seriously considering one of these (as my wife calls them) gigantiphones. Specifically, the Samsung Galaxy Note.

I have a galaxy S phone right now...had it for a year. It's great, so I'm thinking bigger screen and faster processing will be awesome. Still small enough to carry without a purse 

I went from an Iphone to a galaxy S II Skyrockt with a 4.5" screen and its fantastic! not quite as monsterous as the note, great for my hand size and great screen. - Check that out


As for the "New Ipad" - I pre-ordered a 16gb and a 16gb LTE. Not sure which one I'll keep. I might even sell them both to some sucker who can't live without it, and then buy one in a couple months. Delayed Gratification + Profit= Win

The wife has an Ipad 1 and its still fine enough, though I would like a lighter and thinner one since I carry all the electronics when we travel. I'll play with it at the store and then decide

verizon is supposed to be including that feature "free" with their data plans.

at&t hasn't announced their new data plans yet.

if you have an iPhone and don't need gps on the iPad, i'd consider upgrading to a tethering plan on the iPhone and then getting the wifi-only iPad. this would give you mobile data on your iPad and whatever other devices you need.

this...

Since Iphone 4 came with the "Personal Hotspot" feature I have used it while traveling. On Oahu the Hotspot wifi was faster then the cable wifi in the house we rented even with two devices using it.  I ordered the new iPad in wifi only. 99% of the time I use it at home. For GPS I have nav in all cars plus the iphone.

I'll be getting the new Ipad like I've gotten new ones each time they came out. You can really cut into the cost of the new one by selling the old one on the same day to idiots on craigslist. I sold my original Ipad with the accessories more than the new cost of just the Ipad (first gen) last year. Idiots.

I like this one as you can edit pictures on it and most likely video.

If the iPad supported an optical drive and an external hard drive, I'd buy one in a second. I do so very little with my laptop besides rip cds/dvds and upload them to my mobile devices. The iPad is very close to doing everything I need.

you'd likely be unimpressed with the ripping/re-encoding speed of the a5x processor.

We picked up a Samsung Galaxy Tab for the kids and it's been awesome.  Tablets of this kind are mainly for consumer content delivery so perfect for a 4 year old on a plane trip.  One big bonus, I downloaded a DVD ripper and put all of his Thomas/Dora/Phineas&Ferb DVDs on the Tab.  One advantage of the Samsung Tablets is the memory card slot.  I have a couple of cards  -- one with the DVDs on it (32gigs) and one with various games he likes.  That way I can turn off the movies and make him play some semi-educational games (mathblaster stuff and language stuff).

The Samsungs are the bomb.

I've been thinking of the Galaxy and I like the idea of a card to put stuff on. Can you show a picture of said card and slot that card goes in?
I have a galaxy TV too. I'm thinking there might be some small benefit to having another device to go with it.

not sure about the galaxy tablet, but I have a samsung laptop (series 7), and a samsung TV, and I can stream from the computer to TV wireless-ly.

I stream music all the time, so it'll play through my surround sound attached to the TV, instead of the laptop speakers

You can also use the galaxy tab/samsung phones to do the same thing, and act as a remote....

I can only stream still photos to my TV. Maybe I'm missing something. I have a dell laptop but that shouldn't have anything to do with it.

I just stopped in to Best Buy to pick up the LCD Backpack for my GoPro and randomly checked to see if they had any of the new Ipad's still available. Shockingly.....they did. I now have a very happy wife, I finally have an Ipad (her Ipad 2), and some new gadgets for the GoPro.


Great Friday

not sure...

I use the WiDi (wireless display) on my samsung, and it transmits directly to the tv...recongizes it on it's own. Not sure about the technicalities of how it works
