Here's a video about keyboard shortcuts that I'm sure you iPhone owners already know about but us lesser mortals didn't (well I didn't anyway)

I just bought one today, thought I would not be able to find one, called a competitor and they had stock in gateshead and bolton, went to gateshead and they had plenty of stock.

It's like everything else in this world, not everyone is going to like it. Though I'm sure Steve Jobs would love it if they did.

Cancelled my order now, legged it into the Arndale and bought 2 64gb 3g ones. I think it was the only ones they had left. Very busy.

I'm actually typing this on my work pc though

How is it for graphically intense pdf files? Though I would be hard pressed to justify the cost atm.

Its fantastic for PDF, anyone with an iPad shold check this out, looks stunning! Lotus F1 Report

Does anyone know who has better 3g reception in the square mile? o2 or 3?

O2 used to be terrible but they've really improved the network over the last six months. I get great speeds everywhere in the city.

I haven't tried 3 in a while but O2 won't disappoint.

use air video m8 its amazing

 

[BoomAM]

I do use it.
But i still need something to convert things that i want to use out the house

 

[rippling]

cant you convert the files with air video then load them onto your ipad from itunes?
all you do is tell airvideo to convert the file then it makes a copy in the same folder your original file was in

Enjoying my 3G iPad over the past day or so, the keyboard is better than I expected. Web browsing is excellent and I honestly have not missed Flash at all, I think the anti-Apple brigade overdo that argument a little bit IMO. Can't wait for OS4, I really hope they introduce some form of widgets for the home screen at least, at the moment it is just a little too bare.

Handbrake is good for converting video for the iPad.

Handbrake is good for converting video for the iPad.

What settings do you use for it?
For the life of me i cant get any of my videos to convert into a format that'll work with the iPad!

##EDIT##
NM, used the 'Apple TV' profile, appears to do a strait conversion with no frame rate or res changes. .

I paid for the iPhone version (before the iPad version came out).

.....

Make sense?

Sure does, thanks for the clarification
