The True Marple White Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 IPad 1 you will be able to get some good deals on in the next couple of months, with the new one coming out in the UK in the next couple of days/weeks. I personally think the IPad 2 is a little too far for what you need, therefore IPad for the cost it will be once the new one is out will be a bargain. I have a 16GB IPad 1, and I can do anything on it. With regards their competition at the moment on the market I dont think there is anything that can touch it. Quote

Carlos Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I've got an iphone, I can't see anything an iPad can do that I need. I can't watch online football whereas our crappy old netbook is fine. By online I mean video from the betting sites. I believe there's an iPad iPlayer app that for some odd reason isn't available on iPhone. However, I've got a PC hooked up to the tele for that or again, the netbook. Quote

HomerJay Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 ipads are pointless and overpriced imo, and to be fair now iphones are getting the same way. if you really must buy a tablet pc, there are many better and cheaper ones about. http://www.hotukdeals.com/search?action=search&keywords=tablet Quote

superbobby Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Samsung are bringing out a full size tab this year My link Quote
Carlos Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Yep, those are the ones I like the look of, the 8 inch one if it's under ?300 should be worth a go. Quote
petebw Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I'd also recommend an ipad, assuming you can get a good deal on the first gen. I've got a 16gb one. The drawback of not supporting flash isn't as bad as I'd expected it to be. You can still watch Youtube, veoh, vimeo, tvcatchup and BBC iplayer on it. If you have access to a computer over wifi you can also use zumocast to stream avi, mpeg etc to it. There's itunes too obviously. Quote

There's itunes too obviously. but you can do all that (not sure about the itunes bit) and more on other tablets. and more again on a proper netbook. i really, really dont understand the point of tablet pc's. they came out years ago and they everyone said they were shite. now apple bring out a big iphone and theyre brilliant!?

HomerJay Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 "new ipad2, now with a cover" ah you mean like a laptop. brilliant Quote
Sweep Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 must admit, I was going to buy one for Mrs CWP a few months ago, she actually talked me out of it and we got a decent netbook. her sister got an Ipad, and wishes now that she hadn't, as now the novelty of the touchscreen has worn off, she's realised it's really not very good at all Quote
