BTW, any video player app that has FTP functionality should work fine with the CloudFTP. Remember that these storage devices are not playing the file, they are just providing the storage media functionality. It's the Apps that connect that read from these devices which do the donkey work.

I don't use M2Ts but those solutions discussed are two of many if you look around, hence why I suggested that you need to investigate what's out there if you want to find what works best for you however, if you know of a website which has a (legal) M2Ts file which I can download then PM me the link and ill happily test it on my CloudFTP for you tomorrow.

Since the files are so large I find most online have converted them. I think my own home movie files are to large to be emailed. I don't use any thing that is not legal or is copyrighted. Everything I use or own has to be legal all software and programs must be legal or I don't use them.

If the price comes in at $249 I will be supplementing my iPad 1 with the mini. It will fit in my purse where the big sister doesn't. If it goes at $299 I don't know how I can truly justify that to the hubster given all the other "i" toys I have. Just got a new 27" iMac a month ago so I've already given Apple plenty of money since the hubster got a 27" iMac of his own at the same time. Really want one but like I said, depends on price.

As for the flexing of the Galaxy 10.1 notes plastic body I also have a Galaxy Tab2 with a plastic body. Have not really noticed any flexing but I don't bend them either. It sure keeps the weight down a lot IMHO, I have not read or heard of the plastic body's on Galaxy's cracking if you have let me know.

My Samsung Galaxy Note has a plastic back, which I love. It's held up fine, and I can easily remove it to replace my battery or SD card. If I don't like the color or scratched it, it would cost me about 10 bucks to replace it. I'd just pop it on. I've no need to do that, but I like the option.

All my devices -- iPads, Note, etc., are in cheap TPU back-only cases anyway. I dropped my Note a few times, including from standing height onto a wooden bench, from which it bounced onto the ground, but you couldn't tell at all.

The only device I own that goes naked is my Kindle Fire, which has (non-removable) rubberized back. I love that, because it gives me the grip I want and can take regular wear without any kind of case.

I think iDevices have great designs, but are scratch prone without at least a back-only case, in which case they might as well have rubber or plastic backs.

I have an iPad 3 but will probably buy the new Mini to replace my wife's kindle.

I don't understand why people think the smaller iPad will be so cheap - Apple don't do cheap (and they have no concerns over Amazon or Google 7" tablets). The event logo and wording give it away - both imply one theme: small retina devices. That will be a retina 13" MacBook Pro and a retina 7.85" iPad. And this gives Apple a unified theme to launch both Mac and iOS devices at the same event. Price? Perhaps $349 or £299 for the base memory rising by $100 or £80 for each larger capacity model

Will I buy one to go with my iPad 3 - Yes.

LOL you certainly live up to your iPF title of iPad Addict 

xD. And the thing is...I still use all of them.

my iPad 1 is embedded in my desk. my 2 is my daily driver. My 3 is for photos, videos, and higher end games, and my mini will be my work compliment.

Still thinking about buying one for Mom, but I don't know where the money will come from. Probably pick up a used iPad 2 instead.
