Omletina Kyckling Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've bought an iPad!! Been wanting one for ages since I saw Spacechicks! I noticed PC World had the old models at amazing prices. I've got a new 64g 3G model for £399! That's the same as a mk2 16g with no 3G. For what I want it for I don't need the newer model. I've read the cameras aren't that good and my Nokia mobile is 12 megapixel anyway. The new one is bit thinner and 100g lighter with a new processor but think this one is easily good enough! I'm thrilled with it so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've got a Motorola Zoom & love playing with it. Do Omlet have apps on the App or Android stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweety Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm on mine too. OH gave it to me for my birthday in Feb, and I love it. Never thought I would get excited about something like this, but it really is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 They are great...especially for looking at forums and shoppinn!. I think the downside seems to be that anything requiring flash player does not work. Im not very IT savvy. Does anyone know if you can/how to get flash player on an Ipad? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks No you can't get flash on an iPad, but you can on the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tab. I really wanted to buy one, but they are so very expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 We recently got an iPad2. It is the best bit of kit ever. So sleek. I never saw the point in them but it certainly has had a lot of use so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Apple and Adobe (who make flash) dont get on with each other, so you cant get flash on it, which is why I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab.

chuckmum6 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I loooooove my iPad, got it for Christmas and it is totally brilliant! Apple is great, my iMac links up with my iPad and I can do work on both. I may up grade when the iPad 3 comes out as it will have the new OS 5, but we will see I think I will need a spell on eBay selling first though.

Geoid Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 A new one is coming out (it might already be out!) so the first generation ones should drop in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 A new one is coming out (it might already be out!) so the first generation ones should drop in price. Yes I think that would be the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab. It's in competition with the iPad and many say it's actually better because it supports Flash I know there are 2 models, one has a better camera and I think that's the one that Vodaphone are bringing out which will have 3G on it too.

Geoid Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The first generation galaxy tab (not the 10.1) has 3g and HSDPA as standard. It also supports flash too, I think its much better than the ipad, and since it is half the size, so it is easier to carry around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaP Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I don't find not having flash a problem. So many people have iPhones and iPads now that most companies are adapting to accommodate them and many have apps too. My iPad has completely replaced my old Mac laptop, I can print from it too. We were away at the weekend and I took it with me, intending to read a bit more of a book I have on it but it ended up keeping our 2 youngest sons occupied with games Lisa P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 For some people, myself included, I really need something that supports Flash. I am a great Apple fan and have an iPod Touch, a MacBook and an iMac. The MacBook and iMac both support Flash so that's fine. I run a chatroom that uses Flash so without it I'm stuffed. Also you need Flash if you want to play any of the facebook games too, least I think you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clash City Rocker Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've had an Ipad2 since June - Ace. If you're a Sky subscriber then get the "Skygo" app, and then you can watch sky TV where ever you go. Recently I've been watching test match cricket on sky sports between appointments at work.

Mercedes55 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 We don't have Sky, but we do have VM and they have an android app. It's very handy if we are out and have forgotten to record something. Think the app only works with the Tivo box though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Just read about the death of HP Touchpad, which lost out in the OS race, there has been a big scramble to buy the last stock for £89 16gb and £105 for 32 gb . I believe they were £350+ before the big sell off. They'd only just come out a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 That could be due to HP announcing they are no longer making hardware, just software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
