Q. I was thinking of buying a 16GB (Wi-Fi only) iPad. I'm trying to figure out the pros and cons of the iPad. If you have one, do you like it? What is good? What is bad? Tell me anything you know about it. I want to make the best decision possible. Thanks!
A. I have iPad and I love it and I also figured out that It has no such problems that many people were saying before release I would like to mention those points here:
Myth 1: it doesn't have flash support so you won't be able to watch TV shows and movies online
Fact: you can watch movies and tv shows online at high quality without a problem.Watching movies using Netflix on iPad is a great experience.Watching ABC,CBS shows for free is mind-blowing.
Myth 2:No USB port:
Fact:just for $29 you get dongle and connect digital camera and memory card to import photos and videos. You can even connect USB enabled Keyboard or headset.
Myth 3 No Multitasking: You can't listen to music while reading books or creating documents.
Fact: You can listen to music while doing anything on iPad.
You can even split the screen in two parts and browse two different sites at the same time.
You can play web radio on Safari and then open a different browser Desktop and browse other sites on it on half screen and on the other half open calculator or unit converter. With radio playing on the background, using calculator on the side , you can browse the Internet without a problem.
No camera: true but actually iPad has ability to stream iPhone 3G S camera over Wi-Fi and Blutooth. And with 4.0 update coming in this fall , you will be able to use iPhone camera while chatting on iPad.
Biggest myth: iPad is just a giant iPod touch.
Fact : iPad has full iWork and it has ability to connect to the projector to show the presentation. Pages works like charm which is iPad version of MS Word.
Creating Excel spreadsheet was never as easy as it's on iPad.
iPad has native support for joining meeting remotely which is amazingly important for professionals.
And iBooks:: Reader love it and non reader love to explore it. Mashable did a survey and found majority of reader love to read on iPad.
Gaming is spectacular on iPad better than PSP and Nintendo DS hands down. Graphics and details are stunning.
Cornell University sells iPad at on campus book store.
Seton hills university is giving iPad to every student.
Many hospitals have ordered iPad for their doctors and nurses.
iPad has only pros and no cons except the fact that it has no camera.
How to upload photos into an iPad?
Q. Ok so I wanna know how to upload pictures from my camera into my iPad. I don't see where the iPad has a slot for the memory card so I don't know how to do it.
A. It's funny that you you are an iPad owner still don't know about Camera Connection Kit. It costs only $29 in Apple Store.
It's a set of two dongles one lets you connect SD memory card and another provide connectivity to any Digital Camera.
You can import any photos or videos in seconds.Transfer is easy and super quick.
A way to watch international news on iPad?
Q. My mom wants to get access to foreign news on her iPad and possibly watch the broadcasts live via the Internet. Have any apps or mobile sites to recommend?
A. You'll need to download the appropriate software. There are several options available:
1. Elgato
Elgato produces a range of TV-related kit.
At the cheaper end, there's the £51 EyeTV DTT or £65 EyeTV DTT Deluxe, which are USB dongles that plug into your computer and TV aerial and can stream to your iOS device.
At the other end of the spectrum is the £180 Netstream DTT, which plugs into your router and TV aerial to stream live Freeview TV over your home network.
2. Slingbox
Despite its name, Slingbox actually needs you to sit permanently in your front room connected to your TV setup and router. It's a powerful bit of kit that effectively makes your home TV setup available from anywhere you can get 3G or Wi-Fi reception on your iOS device. It even enables you to watch and control your cable or satellite box from your iOS kit, meaning you can watch any paid-for channels you subscribe to.
There are three varieties of Slingbox - the SOLO (£120), PRO (£140) and PRO HD (£240).
3. equinux tizi
The equinux tizi is a standalone, battery-powered digital TV receiver. It picks up Freeview signal, just like your rooftop aerial, and transmits the high-quality picture over Wi-Fi to your iPhone or iPad. This means you don't need mobile reception or to be in range of a Wi-Fi network to watch TV.
Here's a link for more info on these products.
