An hour and a half ****ing around with itunes has taken the edge off getting a new toy :/

I like your philosophy in life... just blindly go around spending large amounts of money against what your better logic is telling you then later try and think up a reason why... nice.
Do you decide where to move house by getting a map of the UK and just throwing a dart at it? Or maybe what car to buy by setting up a tombola in your front room?
I've got some magic beans for sale if you're interested, only £500 a pop?
Wtf? For starters I went for the 'entry' model for this exact reason, and I don't see it as a huge problem as I'm pretty confident I can sell it on easily within a month or so without losing much/any money.
That's good to hear, though I could have told you that without even having to see the screen. The facts speak for themselves!
Haha it is the most un-user friendly, unintuitive pile of crap I've used since getting involved in using Apple products. The simplest of tasks made awkward.
I love the products but despise that software.

I've genuinely never had a problem with it, what do you have trouble doing?

aaagh i was planning on just walking into a store and buying one today, i was expecting £1000 extra in my pay today so no issues.
Nothing not a penny extra, by all accounts i put my OT in after the cut off for March pay so now i can't afford one.... and there doing reserve in store at one of my local PC stores!!!!
if i hadn't bought that 4S for the misses i'd be laughing now.
Damn it!

Christ I don't want to clog up this thread. Just sticking an audio book on my iphone 4 took over half hour the other day. Despite it saying it was imported, synched and transferred it never appeared in my library or on my phone until I manually dragged and dropped the thing in.
Even now it's in my library the search cannot find it. Even if I just search using the starting letter it's not there. I can scroll and find it but searching for the book name, author, starting letter, show by duration, nothing.
There's 6 people on my shift at work. 5 of us have ipads and phones, only one of the 5 has anything good to say about itunes and he's an imac user.
The ipad is designed so kids can use it easily, the interface is perfect. Itunes is not, the simple fact that just about every guy I know has to transfer and set up their wifes ipad/phone tells you it's not as user friendly an intuitive as it should be
Very well, it can make some simple things a bit over complicated but generally it's been fine for me. I'll agree that it could be better and doesn't exactly fit in very well with the whole 'easy to use' thing.
I know what you mean - I didn't fully understand the point of them either in the past. I have a laptop and a desktop already, plus an iphone. But what I'm going to end up doing is ditching the laptop and run an ipad and wireless apple keyboard to replace that for heavy duty typing at home / travelling, while having the flexibility of using the ipad as screen only for meeting papers / ward work.
For me it makes sense as a work tool, but I'm still not convinced I'd have gone for one if I didn't have a specific use for it as that. My iphone handles my location app / maps / mobile email well enough and my desktop does my multimedia at home.

Apple has a good return policy so if you don’t like it you can return it back within 30 days, as long as its in a returnable condition. You wouldn’t be loosing any money at all.
Everything is straight forward to use on it if it’s your first Apple device.......apart from Itunes.....but that’s a different story.
In which case, you probably shouldn't be posting it
I hear someone has beaten pod2g to jail breaking 5.1 - hopefully it works with the new iPad!
Eventually I would like it to replace my netbook, but I'm not sure that will be possible until W8 tablets start appearing later in the year. It's close but the lack of media support is a bit of a stumbling block for me, has anyone ported sabnzbd to iOS yet?

P.S - new Apple TV was delivered along with it, so people who were removing them from your baskets in case of delays, you needn't have feared:
