    Apple battery issue remains for some after iOS update

    I am on 5.01 and I get a full day (5.30am through to 10.30pm) during the week with about 10% - 15% remaining before i plug it in. Thats with Bluetooth and Wifi on constantly although Wifi only connects at home (IE: from 6.15am through to 6pm it is on 3G). Email is set to push synching with my...

    Video chat apps for iPad 2

    Fring supports Video on the Ipad 2. Even does group video calling. Not optimised for the HD screen, but still works ok.

    your average data usage in a day?

    i can only imagine it is well over a gig or two a day. My 3yr old daughter uses the iPad1 a LOT. Mostly games, but she does make extensive use of the PBS Kids app which streams video. I often walk into a room and find it lying on the floor streaming video with no-one in sight. Then my wife uses...

    What apps do you recommend for iPad?

    Both Skype and Fring work on the Ipad 2. Neither is optimised for the larger screen but they both work and are very usable. The latest Fring also supports video conference calling.

    What apps do you recommend for iPad?

    Will take a look at Air Video. What i really want is an XBMC version which works on non-jailbroken devices.... this would be the Ultimate App imho.

    Buying the ipad 2 in the States

    Just a word of warning, the new one seems to scratch very easily on the back. My white Ipad2 already has a few nice scratches on the back. Front is still immaculate.

    What apps do you recommend for iPad?

    Loving Streamtome... works really well and doesnt seem to suck up too many resources. I have it running on my HTPC accessing my Unraid server over Gigabit Lan streaming via my wifi router and i have never had a problem. Even with my wife watching a 1080p MKV file on the HTPC playing on the main...

    ipad 2, who has one?

    I bought it on the launch day (Friday at 5pm), went to Bestbuy and hopped in a pretty short queue (I think there were 10 people in front of me). The Apple store near me was just insane. Mad crowds. The Bestbuy only had 5 of each type but i got what i wanted. My comments from the other thread...

    IPAD 2 between 400 000 n 500 000 sold out during 1st wknd

    I bought the white 32GB Wifi version. My old one is 3G and i find i never use the 3G because there is so much free wireless in the USA. It really isnt that much different than the old one feature wise. It is quite a bit thinner which is actually a bit of a pain. When you are lying down watching...

    IPAD 2 between 400 000 n 500 000 sold out during 1st wknd

    I went to the Apple store around the corner from me on Friday at about 4pm... hundreds of people in the queue. Went to Bestbuy next door and there were like 10 people waiting so i thought, why not and bought one. Nice device, noticably quicker than the original and some of the Ipad2 optimised...

    Is the Ipad worth getting?

    I have done two return trips to the USA in the last 6 weeks, and never been stopped by customs. Both times i had more than my fare share of electronic goods in my hand luggage.
