On thursday night i spent about £2000 on an Imac and two Ipads.

This morning i received my Unison (Trade Union) discount card which entitles me to discounts from various national shops including the bloody Apple Store!!

FML!

It's 10% right?

Ouch.

Yup.

I think its *only* about £100 in total but better in my pocket eh?

To add insult to injury the accompanying letter apologised for the delay in sending the card due to a mistake made by the printers! Outstanding!

Probably the best way is via Jailbreak when it arrives but there is a work atone involving the camera kit and the photo app for non jail broken devices. See http://www.pcworld.com/article/195013/ipad_camera_connection_kit_connects_other_things_too.html

Also shows what else you can do with the camera connection kit.

Thanks splodge

Not exactly, the Imac i spent £1k on is £939 with the discount. The ipads were less too but i wasnt enough of a masochist to do the maths!!

Just had that come through by text.
I wee'd a bit.

First ever iPad.
Own an IMac, MBP and iPhone 4 and never saw the need before.
This is for the mrs (no really). Need to drag her into the 21st century and thought the iPad was the ideal tool to do it.
Seriously, within in a week I'm envisaging her telling me she has won an iPhone because she is the millionth visitor to a site.

My iPad 1 was 32gb, used about 5gb of it and had a ton of apps, 16gb I can't see me ever using much of. I go to Tenerife in June and New York in December so only then will I fill it with films.

KevTucker · 10 Mar 2012 at 22:51

I ordered 16gb Wifi Only this morning and status has changed to :

Dispatched: 02 Apr, 2012 Delivers 10 Apr, 2012

rctneil · 10 Mar 2012 at 22:52

Have any of you guys who's orders are marked as shipped have a new Apple TV in their order as well?

iPad 1 - I got that at release. I'll skip the fourth-generation iPad and go for a fifth-generation one.

This is what I do with iPad and iPhone, I find going from one to the next one not much of an upgrade so I always skip one.

16gb is fine if you don't fill yours with video like I do, I currently have most of the first season of Prison Break on mine to keep me amused whilst i'm at work.

Just been looking at The Verge, some of the close up pictures of the display make me want one so bad.

Looks amazing.

I remember when first getting the iPhone 4 and being memorised by the retina display, hope to be just as amazed by this iPad.
