iPad Global release

Steve · May 28, 2010, 10:06:00

I didn't realise the ipad had an app for detecting Bee's nests I wonder if you can get it for the iPhone

Bill · May 28, 2010, 10:06:11

No need to worry, hives aren't infectious

Steve · May 28, 2010, 10:14:23

Wheal I wouldn't know bee cause I've never had a hive

Rik · May 28, 2010, 10:15:58

What are you two on this morning?

Steve · May 28, 2010, 10:21:02

Piriton

Rik · May 28, 2010, 10:30:13

I'm amazed you're able to post at all, Steve, nasty stuff.

Please beehive yourselves I might get stung

I don't want that to happen again this week, Apple have already stung me once

Rik · May 28, 2010, 12:27:41

I'm breaking out in groans today, I wonder if I can get some cream to put on them.

Steve · May 28, 2010, 12:35:18

An anti hiss tamine cream should do the trick

Rik · May 28, 2010, 12:44:37

I surrender.

Ooh, a bit waspish this morning!

Rik · May 28, 2010, 12:47:31

You can tell it's Friday.

What I would like to know his how the screen performs outside ie can you sit outside and read with it

Simon · May 28, 2010, 12:54:24

I'm sure it's handy to rest a book on, Steve.

Outside in sunlight the screen can be read ok but it does show up all the finger marks and you have to find a suitable angle to stop the reflections from the glossy surface. I just tried it and once it was cleaned it was fine for reading a downloaded book and web browsing.

Carry a microfibre cloth sounds to be the order of the day.

That's one of the first things I did yesterday, I got a new microfibre cloth from the garage to keep in a draw in the lounge, it's a iCloth

If you have a Costco, they do a really good value bundle of MF dusters. They're brilliant for screens and cases, no solvents or solutions needed.

Technical Ben · Jun 08, 2010, 17:21:28

This is more to my liking. It will probably cost the same as an IPad, and do everything it does, plus more. All except maybe phone calls/mobile internet. But for full windows 7, touch, pen, over 100gb hdd and wifi what more could you ask for?

Glenn · Jun 08, 2010, 17:23:45

I have a HP TC1100 tablet at home that looks very similar, it's 6 years old.

I agree Ben, looks a nice bit of kit, when it comes out in the UK might see how much it is and get one as I've been looking at laptops that I can use at work but most of them are clumbersome things.
