iPad 2?

USEDCAR said:
I was playing with the Motorola tablet at bestbuy a few days ago i like the layout and its pretty fast.

After spending months looking at different tablets and reading the reviews. I brought the ipad1 with my extra tuition money i like it because its small and mobile and i can read my online stories with it and it sleeps with me in the bed! I jailbroke it and let me tell you it opens up a whole new world with the ipad. But i don't really use the apps that much

Honeycomb is mediocre, at best, right now. There are a lot of unfinished parts of it, and it was rushed to market in order to beat the iPad 2.
 
Anyone know if they are networked-locked?

One of the guys in my office is off to a conference in the US in 2 weeks' time and wants to buy himself one over there (will cost half as much as buying it here) but is wondering if it will work on our mobile networks.

He'd presumably buy a data contract when he gets home with a new .za sim card and all that, but will it work? Anyone bought one Stateside and taken it home, or anyone from the US taken theirs overseas and still had it working 100%?

^ as usual that depends where and from whom you get it.
 
The only country where iPads have been sold locked to a carrier is Japan. No other iPads have been network-locked anywhere in the world.

If buying in the US, be sure to buy the correct model for the type of network you are using - 3G (AT&T) or CDMA (Verizon).
 
Yeah sure Apple products are great and look pretty but the people who camp outside stores and wait hours have serious problems, fact.

Oh and nope I wont be getting one because they can do everything the iPad 1 and iPhone can do minus the cameras and photobooth etc but boo who cares?
 
The only thing I can see myself using it for is more easily browsing the internet on the couch, and I just use my iphone for that. So I don't think I will be getting one.
 
I'm not updating, I use the iPad 1 (am right now) and like its my laptop literally, if I need to do a presentation, reasearch, class notes, film on a plane, whatever it does that. Te new one though, is all that, and well for me, not much else. The main selling point is the camera I guess, but from what I've heard, it's bad. Like no where near as good as it should be, the front facing cam on an iPhone 4 is bad enough, but that on the iPad size screen is asking for trouble. And that's it, oh and it comes in White. Thats it. I may wait for the next one, but think I'll more likely wait till mines dead, or just so outdated it seems dead

Well, if you can tell me from where and whom to buy it I can pull some strings and get it done... ;)

I've heard you need a GSM one and not a ?CDMA one since most mobile networks are gsm based (and ours definitely are) and that's easy enough to source. But I don't know if that is sufficient to just plug it in and have it work soon as he gets off the plane back here in Cape Town or if someone is going to need to hack the damn thing.

LOL, I heard from my mom that my brother camped in front of his computer screen all night to get it! And he did in fact get it ^.^.
 
I braved the line that morning to get mine. The nearest Apple store is two hours away. I got there at 9AM and was 15th in line and it didn't go on sale until 5PM. I thought it would horrible but it ended up being very fun. None of us in line knew each other and by by the end of the day, we were on first name basis and having a blast. I would do it again in a heartbeat for that alone.

The iPad 2 is quite a bit faster than the original iPad plus it has the two cameras on it.

I just enabled gestures on mine which is entertaining.

It doesn't matter where you buy it. iPads are not locked to a network. Just be sure to get a 3G (AT&T in the US) model.

The wall charger won't fit into SA sockets, obviously, so you'll need an adaptor or to purchase a SA power supply. As it charges over USB too, this won't be much of an issue. It will also need a microSIM to access 3G data, which should be from a local SA provider, obviously.
 
I wasn't going to get the iPad2 but after watching the ads over and over and playing with the first one a little bit, I talked myself into getting it. I work for a store that sells them and I got a nice discount so that was a nice incentive (not that I needed one). I have a bad habit of wanting something and having to have it NOW. I do however pay cash for it so I don't have a montly payment. I have the iPhone 3GS and eligible for an upgrade but I will be nice and wait for the next version of the iPhone. My laptop is at least 4 or 5 years old so instead of getting a new laptop, I decided an iPad would be easier to carry around and more fun. I only used my laptop (after the new wore off, lol) 3 or 4x a year, other wise it was put away and I have a desktop I use at home. Sidenote about the cameras on iPad2, I found they work amazingly outside. The photos and videos are great quality as oppose to inside.
 
Mine comes on Wednesday. I ordered online after going to the Apple store at zero dark thirty to wait online only to be told they didn't have any. My original shipment promise was 4/22, so it's coming early.

I'm hoping it will help me keep notes that I normally take on small pieces of paper. I wind up with folders filled with scrap paper. I need a better way to keep track of things....

Buy a stylus if you take notes. I got the Griffin one, and used my iPad to take notes on in my one class. Its actually pretty awesome. (though, your handwriting is HUGE because it doesn't work that well for smaller writing) I got some funny glances from my teacher, but being in a cinder-block building means that I can't surf the web or do anything else like that. It means that I don't have to carry any notebooks around with me either. The only thing I wish is that the end of the stylus could be a little less blunt, but it has to be that way to work on the capacitive screen.

My mom is also interested in one, because she can use an app that lets you annotate PDFs, and it would save her a TON of paper for her job.

Did you ever use the stylus they were using at the Apple Stores for awhile (to sign for a credit card payment)? It had a fuzzy tip. I was just wondering if the Griffin was better than it was, as it was quite terrible. My signature looked like it had been written by a child with arthritis.

I did stand in line at Best Buy the day of to get an iPad 2. I couldn't get to an Apple Store and I knew if I didn't get it then, I might not get it for weeks considering how hard they were to get for months after the first one was released.

I noticed many people talking about how expensive they are. I think most people could easily get by with the 16 GB model. I have a Clear 4G Spot, so that takes care of connectivity. At $500, it's far cheaper than any competing pad/tablet I'm aware of, plus there is no contract.

I didn't have the first iPad, so I'm still fitting it into my life and truthfully I'm using it more than my Mac now, which saddens me.

The only bad thing I can say about it is that the cameras are terrible for photography—far worse than my very first digital camera years ago. The back camera can shoot some decent video in adequate light, though. But mostly they are meant for Facetime, though, I think.

The Griffin one has a rubber tip, but its still pretty big. It doesn't result in the best handwriting, and you have to get used to it, but its still pretty good.
 
Hey, the stylus thing is a great idea. I am actually sending this first post on JUB from my new toy. What app do I need to be able to write notes with the stylus. Sounds like just what i need!

There's an app called Penultimate. Its great. I use it all the time.
 
M10000- Thanks for posting. I was very interested in it and good to see the stylus concept in use.
