*** The all new Apple iPad thread - Keep all iPad stuff in here ***

In Eastbourne atm, my mifi is getting speeds off 2Mb/s. Surfing is therefore quick but videos not so much, anyway they use up way to much data so.
<3 iPad, though a few places around here I get no signal lol

Anyone running the 4.2 beta 2?

I can't get uplands to work when using it... But multitasking makes the iPad!

 

[oli356]

Anything different on the ipads MT then iPhones?

I am - plenty of apps needing updates as you'd expect.

Oliver. Can you run iplayer then?

Vlc doesn't work either

Nope. Nor Sky Mobile. Anything that needs QuickTime really.

I love the new Brushes app on the ipad. It allows one to paint as if on canvas with brushes only better for it allows new textures and effects. Gave a whole new outlook to the ipad.

amazon now selling iPads..

£469 for the 16gb wifi. So £40 more then buying from apple or pc world... lol (didn't look at the other model price comparisons)

Dear OcUK Apple lovers,

I hate you all. Finally succumbed and bought a 32gb wifi iPad. A bit upset that 4.2 isn't out yet, I assumed it was and the Apple rep lied to me. Wahhhhhhh. I can't really afford developer's.

Now scouring the web for must have apps.

Its not actually sold by Amazon, some random third party hence the overcharging.

Check out the thread in software apple

And of course think about jailbreaking if you want things like MT (backgrounder works so much better then apples)
A few devs on here, one could maybe add your Device ID to there account.. Though it's only beta2. Plenty of problems

Enjoy

Anyone using VLC player successfully? I have loaded some video's all with different playable formats but each time I attempt to play something it causes VLC app to crash and close back to main screen.

 

[Kainz]

Despite hating VLC from day one since it first came out on windows, I've yet to get the sod to play anything on my iPad. It either crashes, or it displays a 'my device is too slow to play this format'...on a bog standard xvid.

iOS 4.2 Beta 3 has just been release for those interested/eligible. 550mb

No major changes according to release notes.

 

[oli356]

Why aren't iOS updates actually updates.. Instead we reinstall the whole os :s
