I'm a bit of an idiot. Is this how dropbox works.. you make an account.. add a file via the computer.. log into account on ipad and download file? Amirite?

Pretty much, if you make any changes and save it, it will clearly change on computer again.

Are there any apps that can play stream video files off my NAS (running Twonky)? I can see a few apps but they seem to be more file converters that players?

Not heard of Twonky before, but does your nas have ftp?
If so check out Goodplayer, streams straight from the ftp and is pretty flawless.
Iv used it for ages now

I picked up an iPad 3 recently, the reddit app AlienBlue is amazing - it's my preferred method of browsing reddit now... problem is I have a £500 reddit browser lol

Alien Blue made Reddit so easy for me, but like you I've got a £660 comic and Reddit reader now

Still not regretting my purchase though, love this damn thing.

Don't think there are any youtube apps unless your jailbroken.. I just use the mobile site on my iPad and YourTube or something on my iPhone (jailbroke)

Anyone have Catchphrase? It's only 69p. Is it any good?

Thanks for that, I have ended up with 8player which I'm really pleased with, seems to able to play all the media off my NAS without any problems.

It's ok but you'll need to buy the additional packs soon as you'll see all the catchphrases pretty quickly

I'm Jailbroken, what youtube thing will I need on Cydia?

Being able to use playlists would be nice.

 

[oli356]

I use ProTube, has playlists as well.

 

[Morba]

Will have to look for protube, see if it has repeat options as my girl loves playing some clips over and over and over and over and over and over.....

 

[oli356]

Don't think it does, you can download videos though for offline mode. Never tried it myself mind you..

Got them stored in favourites at the moment, but a loop would make her happier (and lead me to banging head against wall) lol
