Q. I'm looking at iPad to replace laptop does it have USB ports like laptop for downloading things onto it? If nit how do you import photos onto it from a camera?
A. more-or-less. The iPad doesn't have USB ports, but there's a device sold by apple you can use to connect a camera into it (through USB). Either way. The iPad is a bad laptop replacement. Think about buying a netbook instead/also.
ipad not charging on my computer usb?
Q. I noticed when I plug my ipad into my computer's usb port it says not charging. My computer isn't even a year old yet and it's a high end laptop. (Asus G73JH). My biggest question though I really wish to clarify, I read somewhere that some if not most usb ports (other then macs since apple appearently pushes a little more power to their ports) can't charge and power and ipad, but usb will power the ipad so it won't drain the battery. Is this true or are you draining the ipads battery when syncing an using it while connected to your computer? Thanks for clarifying this for me.
A. Charging the iPad: Hit or miss
If you're used to charging your phone, music player, or device in the USB port of your computer, take note. So far, I have been unable to charge our iPads in any USB port on a non-Apple Computer. Apple Tech Support has told me that the iPad is designed for the 10W AC adapter that comes with it, so if you want to use anything else, all bets are off.
I've tried charging our iPads in several places today. Here's what's worked and what hasn't.
Places where the iPad was able to charge (other than a wall outlet): Rear USB port on a 27-inch iMac desktop; USB port on a MacBook Pro laptop.
Here's where the iPad did not charge: Front and rear USB ports on a variety of Windows computers; USB port on an Apple wired keyboard attached to an iMac.
Hate it.
IPad worth waiting for?
Q. Is the new iPad supposed to be that amazing? Should I wait for it to come out instead of buying it now... I don't need to take pictures with it.. What are some other new features it'll come with?
A. iPad does not have USB port. Forget iPad, it's so last year. Get Nook Color which has USB port and is better for half the price of iPad from bn.com or any Barnes & Noble physical store or BestBuy or Walmart.
Nook Color specs:
- $249 with free shipping
- 7 inch Color LG Touchscreen 16 million colors with anti-glare coating 1024 x 600 delivering 169 pixels per inch.
- 8GB built in memory expandable to 32 GB with microSD card.
- 512 MB RAM
- Formats supported: EPUB, PDF, XLS, DOC, PPT, PPS, TXT, DOCM, XLSM, PPTM, PPSX, PPSM, DOCX, XLX, PPTX, JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, MP3, AAC, MP4.
- Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), USB port
- OS: Android 2.1
- Processor: TI 800 Mhz ARM Cortex A8-based, 45nm OMAP3621
- Nook allows to lend books for 2 weeks to friends or to your other devices that run B&N app. Barnes & Noble allows (when you walk in with the Nook to B&N store) to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. With Nook, while in BN store you get exclusive articles from top authors, and great offers including cafe treats and unique deals.
- Nook Color is better as a color e-Reader than Kindle simply because it has color and Kindle is black and white. Content that greatly benefits from color - such as kids books and magazines - looks much better and sharper on Nook Color's screen.
- Nook Color is better as an e-Reader in general than iPad. It has a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight than iPad's. Also, as it's smaller in size than iPad, the text appears sharper on Nook's screen. Also it has 12,000 (more soon) kids books that are built as a game with feedback.
- Nook Color has been picked as the editors choice by PC Magazine while pro reviewers of other sites (CNET, ZDNet, Engadget, AllThingsDigital, etc.) mentioned that it tested to be pretty fast for apps and PDF's, and has a beautiful screen.
- Overall, Nook Color is more than e-Reader as you can also watch video and use Android applications on it. It's a hybrid device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn't have a camera. If all you want is to read novels, Kindle (or the original e-Ink Nook) might be better for you. If you want something more from your device at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for library ebooks.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for renting text-ebooks.
