iPad

[mitic]

a business partner just gave me an iPad as christmas present

since iam not very experienced with toys like this iam unsure if i should unwrap the factory packing and use it or just sell it on ebay

what are the REAL benefits of an iPad? anyone knows?

[Rahnza]

if you own a computer and a smartphone just sell it.

[mitic]

well yea, i got a windows computer (selfexplanatory since i play here) but not a smartphone. in my company we r using blackberries.

but i just found 1 reason to use it: i dont need to turn on the computer at home if i wana browse this forum and just connect via wlan...or ..wait...i can watch porn in my bedroom on the nets! (omg i do actually love this one!)

but well...thats 1 reason...

You can also read ebooks while you poop.

or watch porn on the toilet . 1000 möglichkeiten :D ich wuerds aber verkaufen ! gibt gut €€€

Apps are wonderful. If you don't already own an ipod touch or an iphone you may want to keep it, load it up with apps, and read/fap/learn/game while pooping.

[mitic]

rite, forgot about apps but i just have lan on this one (its the cheapest one)

ja eben yinaltin..und porn am wc stell ich mir ned so prickelnd vor..da tauch ich ja ins wasser ein :D

[mitic]

now that i keep thinkin about it, they have locked facebook and youtube in my company a year ago...would it work if try to connect from the 4th floor down to the cafés wlan/groundfloor?

... bah screw it, ill just unpack it now lol, thanks for the input folks

I considered getting one to work as a media center remote for my HTPC.

But, I have an iPhone 4. It's just a bigger version of that. Meh.

I got an Ipad, if you are not into browsing website, constantly checking stuff just sell it.

My wife and I love it, she used to read kindle and for cooking recipe + music. I used mostly just for website, reading forum and football fantasy. It's light and handy.

i use my ps3 as mediacenter to stream movies from an external hard drive to my tv..is there an app to stream that media onto my ipad too?

No...I mean I have a PC hooked up to my TV. With an iPad, I would be able to control playback from that, instead of using a wireless keyboard/mouse, which can be cumbersome.

PS3 sucks as a media center imo. At this point, I strictly use it for games.

Try Air Video. It's quite good. Needs a server side app on a computer to stream from, but that's easy to set up.

[Omnimorph]

I use PS3media server. Is air video better than that? PS3 media server was easy as hell to set up.

[Alkorin]

Does AirPlay stream directly from PS3 Media Server? If so, you probably don't need Air Video. PS3 is pretty damn nice.

Air Video works over the intertubes as well, though. That's why I like it. Can tether my iPad to my iPhone or use some free wi-fi (like, say, at an airport) and watch whatever.

after 2 days using it ive came to the conclusion to sell it and (maybe) buy an ipod touch.

it has its uses but cumbersome to have it with me all the time

When someone says ipad, all I hear is crippled expensive netbook.
