Title: I'm Coming Off the Fence. The iPad 3 Will Be Huge
Post by: sth on Wed, 07 March 2012, 13:07:56: I want one just to use as an extra monitor or VNC client. I'll wait for the full sized Retina display or retina-iMac though...

Hahahahaha - I remember Microsoft telling that with Vista's voice recognition.

If they can do voice recognition, surely they can tell what key I'm pushing on a buckling spring by the sound it makes. :)

Anyway, the problem is with people not knowing how to take pictures rather than the hardware.

Post by: J-P on Wed, 07 March 2012, 14:04:19: I've used an iPad for sketching on - but didn't like it, even with alias sketchbook pro. Until it has wacom-like pressure sensitivity it will be little more than a digital magazine with interactivity for me. Maybe an interesting platform for mobile games etc... but yeah, I'm still not sold.

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Wed, 07 March 2012, 14:57:42: Just letting you know. iPhone camera is not that bad, in the right hands. I remember some fashion photographer did some shoots with one. Turned out just as good as any other consumer level digital would have. They are pretty good considering the camera is only an add on feature, as most won't be buying one to use as it's primary purpose. Seem to be just as good as any other point and shoot in the same MP range.

Post by: Wildcard on Sun, 11 March 2012, 00:11:55: I like to see last minute rumors that end up coming out in the next release.

So maybe haptic screens and the ability to join multiple displays by 2013? Let's place our bets.

Edit: Regarding the future of keyboards with tablet devices, in the words of the Goonies "never say die!"

Sorry. Hey, that dude lied!

Oh I see, it was the first pic he took. Yeah, that one isn't so impressive.

I didn't lie potato, I thought you were referencing the pic I took not the CS:S Keys :D, they pics that I take would be awesome if my lighting wasnt so terrible.

I always thought Apple lacked in cell phone cameras. Most of my pics on this site are from my HTC Thunderbolt.

Works for now until I get a macro lens on my camera ;-)
Great camera but not the greatest phone

#1 Potato.

Is there any advantage getting this at the Apple store? Or just buy online at Apple.com?

I sometimes experience Anti-Hipster rage when going into Apple stores.

Nothing other than having it at that very moment.

Post by: Wildcard on Mon, 19 March 2012, 23:41:49: Ripster you have a Gigabyte motherboard right? Check to see if your motherboard has special charging drivers/software.

The iPad needs 10W of juice to charge when plugged into a USB port, most newer motherboards support higher watts via the USB ports. If not it will charge "slowly" when it's turned off and plugged in.

Post by: Wildcard on Tue, 20 March 2012, 00:56:05: Glad I could help,

I really miss my iPad 2 right now. Waiting for a certain store to start carrying the new 64gb iPad on their website so I can use a family members discount.
