wtf? You can't get your apps of apple without a credit card?

[Pate]

I've bought (like a mug some may say ) around 10 items off Apple. The other day my card was cloned and thus Natwest have cancelled it.

Not when I try and reinstall some of my apps, apple prompts me for billing information? I don't have my card number yet, so I can't download my apps?

What on Earth?!

And they wonder why piracy is rampant?


Unless I'm missing something?

Should've bought a Blackberry, idiot!

Unless you're talking about a laptop/desktop, in which case you should've bought a Dell.

I should have indeed! I thought the iPad3 would be good for reading the huge quantity of papers ahead of next term.

I like the screen, but I've grown to hate the interface and just how locked down it is.

PDFs/journals? So it's good for that? I'm tempted, as otherwise I'll be printing many, many trees, in the next year!

Give me a week and I'll give you a definitive answer on that. Provisionally I'd say it's nice indeed, but its a bloody expensive PDF reader!

I've got a fair bit of travelling to do, so the ipad is going to see a lot of use in the next week. Remind me and I'll give you a honest description of what I thought about it, and how it handles pdf's both native and scanned. (God I hate scanned documents).

Moses. Just get a laptop, that way you can read PDFs and type stuff as well.

I'm coming round to this idea myself haha. Still I'll give it a week and see how it goes.
