I bought Sketchbook Pro for £2.39 though I have no artistic talent. I've been doing some tutorials on the net. I've ordered a stylus as my finger is ****ing useless.

It's the most fun I've had on the iPad and even those these pics are crap I am pleased with the results considering.

These drawings are making me want to get sketchbook pro whilst it's on offer but I think adobe ideas is already maxing out my drawing skills.

has any one bought any top gear of itunes for the ipad ???? just wondering what its like as am tempted to buy the specials pack for a tenner

What stylus have you guys ordered? I have a Pogo Sketch but it's useless. The tip is so soft and small, and so close to the metal barrel of the pen that I keep scraping it on my screen.
Any others recommended?

ElliorR · 29 Jun 2010 at 18:13

Same one I ordered. Hope it's not as bad as you say, though if it is it wasn't expensive.

I got that Specials one, quality is fine (not tried it on an iPad). I also believe Top Gear is available in HD quality - though again, not sure if the iPad supports HD video like that.

Does anyone know of any apps that will stream from my NAS to my iPad. I know air video will allow me to do this through a PC doing the conversion. Would be nice if it could be done without the pc (as is possible through xbox ps3 and my TV)! My NAS is a western digital my world drive.

Not sure of the app but wouldn't every file need to be in something the iPad can read ie m4v and mp4

Wrong thread

Yep - found MLPlayer Lite app that does this (plus photos and music) but like you say needs to be in format Ipad can read - seems like a lot of effort to convert everything from avi to mp4.

Don't suppose you could tell us the file size of the episodes could you please bud, iTunes gives info on movies file sizes but not tv shows

Tom84 · 1 Jul 2010 at 18:39

Can anyone clarify the angry birds level situation;

Me and the g/f finished the first 5 sections (3 on theme 1 & 2 on theme 2) as the g/f did it before me she apparently got a message about us needing to complete every level with 3 stars before anything further would open up

however I've just done an update which has just popped up on the app store and low and behold now theme 3 is open yet there are vids online of people who have had those levels for ages (there's meant to be 150 levels in total) :confused:

Roughly yeah. Could probably be compressed down a bit to save on space.
