IAmMartiYeah people are trying to talk me out of the iPad and I guess an ipod touch wouldn't be too bad. I have a 6 year old 30gb ipod which works just fine, would need the £250 32gb model if I were to replace it. I'm really unsure though =/[/quote]
My husband just got a an iPad so I can advise on some of the good and bad things
- It's large screen makes it easier to type and makes watching movies/Youtube clips more enjoyable. Large screen also makes it, well large, you will need a protective pouch, special screen cover to protect it.
- It will only charge by plugging into the wall, not the computer and only using the plug adaptor it is supplied with
- It can be used straight out of the box, and can update it's self using your wireless internet
- The majority of iPod games will work on it, and can be doubled in size, but this can cause the graphics to be streched. Like playing Pokemon Diamond/Pearl on a DSi XL
- The iPad can go online anywhere using a special SIM card, does require you to get a SIM contract or something, I'm not certain on the details of this.
I will point out that I've only tried it for about 40 minutes as he as it while he is away with work.
The iPod/iPhone are pretty much the same thing with the major exception being the iPhone makes phone calls and the iPod needs to find a wi-fi hotspot before it can go on wi-fi.
Anywhoooooo with all this Apple nonsense out of my system for now....
Today's hunt target is
Dragon's Peak, putting it up here so I don't have to type it many times
:
I rang the Collier's Wood TRU today, they didn't have their delivery in, so I was advised to ring later. I did and was informed DP was not in today's delivery and was advised to try again on Friday.
Rang Old Kent Road. I don't know why I did as they share the same delivery truck with Collier's Wood, but thought it might help. Anyway, got through to the Multimedia Department and asked about DP. The guy made a note of the pack name and put me on hold. I was on hold for long enough to make a rough sketch of Sunburn in my notebook, so it must have been at least 2 minutes. The guy did come back and said he didn't have it, only
Eoi and Pirate Seas. He hadn't heard of DP and said "it must be a new one".
Just when I thought Old Kent Road couldn't get any worse
