I want an ipad soooo much, and lately I've seen one in front of me being used and want one even more. I'd only use it the same as I do my iPod touch but I've run out of space on that and there's certain games thst are ipad only such as diner dash grillin green.
Plus it'll be cool to scroll through the net and YouTube on somethinh other than my slow notebook or the pc.
I use my iPod all the time.
I know it's not perfect cos it'll be hard to type on there and it's too awkward and big to play games on in bed like I love to do with my iPod...it's how I relax. But I have a few questions: (bear in mind I'm
in uk)
I think it'll take me ages to save up for one and I might never get one but are they a set price everywhere?
Do you think they'll likely go down in price when the rumoured ipad2 comes out?
Is it true you can only charge the battery so many times and then apple gotta replace the whole ipad for £100??
What's the app store like? I mean, I know it's all identical to the iPod/iPhone but does it just show ipad games? The store on the iPod shows ipad games too but I can't find diner dash grillin green which is one of the main games k want it for. Will every game I purchase on the app store be full screen on the ipad?
I am unsure wether i need the 32/64 bit one. I won't need 3g.
I filled my 8gb iPod up pretty quickly and got no room left for updates/free games I want now. I dong want the 16bit ipad but how many gsmes can I roughly fit on the 32/64 bit ones if thsts all I'm using it for? I know thryre all different size files but assuming they were all biggish sizes?
Syncing my iPod is a nightmare and I can't do it without it wiping off all my games (even tho I click to makr sure thst doesn't happen). Everytume I update iTunes it does it and I have to pay for games I downloaded when they were free. Does this happen with the ipad? How do you update iTunes if there's no USB slot to plug it into a pc/notebook?
When I want to delete games off my iPod I of course know how to get rid of them but what used to happen was I was left with empty spaces them which would either be filled with some other game aftwr I'd played something for a while or after I turned the iPod off n on again. It's hard to explain, but you know when you got the iPod so full that you hsve to search for what game you want cos you can't find it on the home screen? And then when you delete some games other games (previously unseen on the homescreen) take up the blank space? That doesn't happen on my iPod anymore so I can't delete anything else cos everything on my home screen I wanna keep. Anyone able to help with rhis pls and does the ipad do the same thing or have the same problem?
Perhaps the most important question if all: ordering the ipad. There's nowhere in Newport south Wales where you can play with/buy ipads instore....only Cardiff. I am wary about buying online with such a large amount of money but argos sell them.
Has anyone had any good experience ordering from them for 2day free home delivery? It says they're all out of stock for pickup, but can be ordered in for 2day delivery. No reviews say it took longer but this happened wirh somwrhing else I ordered from them and they didn't havd it in stock
anywhere to be able to order it n get it to me for weeks on end.
Anyone else bought this way from them, preferably in my area?
Lastly, is it worth holding out for tje ipad 2? Obviously if I have no
ipad by then I'll get the second one anyway..it's supposed to be cheaper which I can't see, have a front n back camera with a smaller thinner frame and a 7inch screen instead of a 9.5 inch? And it's supposed to be released in April in the uk?
As nice as it would be if those are the only differences I'm not fussed, plus when thinner and smaller things come out thry tend to have alot of bugs. Tje only thing I'd be worried about is I'll get the ipad and then the ipad 2 comes out and it has a retina screen like the iPhone 4 which is sposed to be absolutley fantastic to look at and play games on but I havnt experienced that.
