From: smurf on 26 Apr 2010 17:34 Got my ipad today, have had a good play, very impressive. The calendar, email and safari are exceptionally useable, apple have really done a good job. Was a touch worried about the 'wireless issue', but the wifi seems to have excellent range, easily as good as my macbook and significantly better then my iphone. The wonders of ebay!

I dont think the price i paid will be vastly different then the uk price. I knew i had made the right decision today, was driving along, customer calls me on my iphone (hands free via bluetooth). I pulled over. Normally i would scratch around for a pen, and paper and write all the information for an appointment, which i would then enter into my mobileme calendar on my phone. Well, pulled over this time, picked up the ipad of the passenger seat, rested it on the steering wheel and entered all the details directly into the calendar with ease and speed. After the conversation finished a minute later, i went to the calendar in my iphone just to see how long it would take to sync over the appointment, it was allready there..... Well done apple....

I can just see me doing (and needing to do) exactly the same sort of thing as smurf. -- regards hugh hugh at clarity point uk point co (by the sea) (using Hogwasher) "The question of whether Machines Can Think... is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim."

What if said information had required a sketch (like directions) or other non textual info (something you easily deal with on a 50p notepad for example)? > After the conversation finished a >minute later, i went to the calendar in my iphone just to see how long it >would take to sync over the appointment, it was allready there..... That bit is always nice (when it works etc). > >Well done apple.... > .... for keeping up (remote synching of stuff isn't exactly new and you would hope it would be easy between products from the same manufacturer etc). Suit you though. ;-) Cheers, T i m |
