    Since the demise of VLC media player what's the best player for video

    I still have VLC from the brief time it was available on Itunes, but without jailbreaking, and more importantly without CONVERTING, what media player do user find to be the best. I ask because I'm upgrading to iPad2 soon and thought it might be a good time to revisit the media situation. It has...

    4.3 upgrade problems

    I had a similar problem with the upgrade before. I don't know if this helps or not, but it was because I had previosly had jailbreak on a device and when I got my shiny new Ipad the install failed. I had to delete some host file thingie. I know that's not very helpful but it's all i've got...

    Who wants their screen rotation button back?

    And I am sure your business is a great success, but 8 million ipads and 60 million iphones speak for themselves. All electronics/computer/programming companies make changes. Microsoft doesn't consult, or notify what changes are being or have been made. You simply download the updates with a...

    Who wants their screen rotation button back?

    I agree totally but no other manufacturer does that. I've never owned a mobile device where I was consulted or notifed when updates took place. That same goes for updates to windows OS or MacOS. It just isn't how things are done. You simply can't run a business that way. You don't run a business...

    Who wants their screen rotation button back?

    Its a good point but in the early days of motoring thats exactly what happened, well not the steering wheel bit, but the pedals were all swapped around etc. It's all a storm in a t cup though as locking rotation is very easy. And a mute key where there was not one is very useful. Far better than...

    Who wants their screen rotation button back?

    I use the TV in the bedroom which is linked to our media centre so why would I want an iPad size screen when I can have something bigger. Any TV can watch anytyhing including recorded video on Foxtel and free to air. When I travel I watch movies on VLC on iPhone and iPad depending on what's...

    best video to ipad converter

    I've been using my VLC now for a little while and thought I'd report that it hasn't missed a beat. It's nice to watch good quality video on my ipd and phone for a change. At the moment I still have to take the videos off to sync which is a bit annoying. I don't have to convert or put them into...

    Who wants their screen rotation button back?

    It was meant to be 4.0 million but my play on the IOs seemed silly without the full stop. But the figure is actually 8 million sold or there abouts. Other than that I stand by what I said, and I repeat, most people want to be able to use safari to go ao any website they chose and have it display...

    Who wants their screen rotation button back?

    I agree. I don't know a single person who thinks the lack of flash is a good idea though. How may webites can you not visit because its in flash? I love my Ipad but am so fed up with the surfing issues that I doubt I would ever buy another. The thread is about the rotation lock, which is still...

    Who wants their screen rotation button back?

    I can't believe people got so upset about it. As I said before it's working the same as in Iphone which seems sensible to me. I never used the old button lock ever. I don't know what you would ever want to lock it and for that matter I have never locked my iphone screen in 2 years either. I...
