cable connects PC to ipad then sync itunes

tony de wonderful

I like Apple stuff (I have a MacBook pro) but I'm the first to admit the Ipad is a step to far and I can live without an Iphone!

I've got a mate with all three lol.

A proprietory cable that connects the iPad to a proper device.

Frankly they make it as difficult as possible. For a company that prides itself on ease of use.... well you get the gist .... LOL!

Ant

yet most netobooks don't come with a cd-drive just as i found out when i had to re-install my nieces window xp on her dell mini.

so what's your point?

you're going off like apple is marketing it as a replacement laptop

JackClark

iPods are pretty common, the iPad works in the same way but transfers all sorts of media. If you can't find someone who can use an iPod and iTunes then you need to get out more.

If you feel the need to connect things then try this http://www.tuaw.com/2011/03/25/plug-...-kit-for-ipad/

No that is what Jack does

Ps most laptops have cd drives and Dell Minis have that marvellous thing... USB ports... Wow

Ant

yeah but it was a ball ache trying to get windows xp install on a flash drive

they'll never replace laptops , not yet anyways.

They're a expensive gadget for browsing the web and checking email that is all

JackClark

And a million other things.

Ant

ok jack

JackClark

I could start listing them, but don't really have the time.

How about I start with a few and you carry on?

Music Production
Movie Production
Word Processing
Spreadsheeting
Reading Books
Listening to Music
Watching Films
...

Ant

You said a million that's not a million so you're wrong .

JackClark

There's well over a million songs on iTunes.

SirFozzalot

You can connect wirelessly now too with the home share thing.

Everywhere you turn it's 'win an ipad this, win an ipad that. Even on adverts on TV (such as the dreaded sofa adds) the iphone and ipads are featured in the add, it's like an advert advertising an advert advertising Apple products.
Apple must be coining it on the hypnotherapy thing. People are so gullable not to be able to see beyond.

They are set to replace physical media. Magazine publishers are pushing their apps and websites, as when the majority have a device like this they will no longer need 200 tonnes of paper, 500 gallons of ink, a $10m printing press manned by over-paid operatives, trucks to ferry the finished article to retailers who want their slice. Advertisers will no longer hope that next time you log on after putting down a magazine that you will remember to visit their website as you are already a click away. Retaillers of everything from sofas to sandwiches can continuously tempt you with regularly updated offers and discounts, right there, live. Hard copy has been dealt a deadly blow by these devices, and as legacy customers decline I will ultimately end up out of a job. It's the future, whether we like it or not.

Yep I am sure Hollywood and the major music labels are ordering them in and binning their Avid systems and mixing desks overnight

I wouldn't mind to buy an iPad2 for I am all for progressive techy gimmicks But I just don't have time to bum about on any iPad, I am not bothered if it is 1 or 2. I am sure I will end up with one soon, though. Saying that, I have spotted some stunning jewellery in one of our local store's window whilst whizzing past it in my superfast TDI VW I may spend my money on that amazing jewellery instead. I can do all iPad things on my laptops and on my iPhone, but I can't wear an iPad like some bling jewellery on me, can I? I also need to prioritise my "wants". I want a new Dyson as well. The one with roller ball technology this time. Not that anything is wrong with the one I already have, apart from the fact that it has no ball to it. Anyway, bollox to all that. I will have to have a think about that iPad2 thingy majeek.

JackClark

Maybe not, but they'll be able to work better from home now. Have you tried the new Garage Band? Quite amazing for a marketing fad that does no more than a Game and Watch.

JackClark

I was hoping for a better display on the 2 as well. Amazing how it's still the best there is so long after release, hopefully someone will release a competitor and push things forward.

The Playbook from Blackberry may never happen and if it does may well be the straw that broke the camel's back. Share price is dropping like a stone and the CEO things apps on devices are a waste of time, bad call.

Just a quick WAKE UP CALL for those relying on their iphone and ipad alarms to wake up. One million apps and not one that can get you out of bed in time what a game changer!
