Hi guys, just managed to bag an Ipad 64gb 3G

I plan to use it mostly for video and music, just wondering what all you peeps use for converting movies to ipad etc.

I've got a shed load of MKV files that are HD

I don't know about ipad 1 but on my ipad 2 I use Oplayer HD which allows you to add movies through itunes and it plays avi, mkv and all different kind of codecs.

Give it a go

Need an App like XBMC but from App Store. That will play videos from independent Synology NAS. Anyone?

Waiting for 4.3.5 Jailbreak.

AirPlayer streams my movies/music from my NAS (Dlink Share Center) or any DNLA server, it also plays DivX and tons of other formats on the fly too. Great features and nice and quick too (although I am on Wireless 5Ghz wifi, not sure what it will be like on Wireless G

There isnt going to be a JB for 4.3.5 unfortunately, you'll have to wait until iOS 5 is out (less than a month now hopefully)

Has anyone sent a iPad back to apple because of screen bleed? I have had my ipad2 since April it had a little bit of back light bleed, but I am sure it's getting worse, I am going to ring them 2mor but just wondered if anyone has had any experience with apples return policy.

Also does anyone's smart cover leave like dusty lines down there screen? I am also sure my cover has put a finger nail shaped scratch on my screen , I am really careful with my iPad and this scratch has appeared from nowhere

meh? · 16 Sep 2011 at 19:54

My smart cover leaves lines down my screen too.

You should be able to get a swap out no problem with a screen bleed. Go to the store if you can.

Hey guys,

Quick one for you...got an iPad 2 on it's way to me. I want a sleeve for it, got a smart cover as well (pretty essential) but I want a soft sleeve to slide it in for when it goes in my man bag when I travel to/from work. Don't want the back of it knocking against the keys etc

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Jake

I keep meaning to pick up a nice sleeve (needed for the same reasons) but for the last few months I've been using a £1 (yes one whole pound) neoprene wallet from pound store and I honestly can't complain about it. Snug fit and protects it well.

Phate · 18 Sep 2011 at 23:14

Hmm interesting! I'm looking at incase sleeves at the mo for £25ish. I've got an incase sleeve for the MacBook and it's awesome...so tempted to get the same for those reasons

I have seen a Belkin Pleat case on someone's around the office and that looked OK. I've just bought an iPad 2 and will probably pick up one of those for it, about a tenner if you look on some big websites...
