HeadphoneAddict Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Apple has a new revolutionary product coming out soon: HumancentiPad
Currawong Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 I wish Apple would hurry the fuck up and start selling the iPad 2 here. That Oscilloscope idea is pure win. I may have to grab one of those (and then remember how the hell to use one).
grawk Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Funny you should say that: Japan Gets White iPhone 4 and iPad thursday
Currawong Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Yeah, just saw that Softbank will offer the 16 GB iPad for free if you sign up for 2 years on Twitter after I posted. That's tomorrow! Guess I'm going to have to pass through the city on the way to or from work and pick one up.
Currawong Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) Went into the Apple store after work and it was packed with not one, but two queues for the iPad. Went into a local Softbank Mobile store at their closing time (they close an hour before leaving to take care of final customers) and I was the first customer to buy an iPad that day! My dodgy Japanese held up. I just told them I'd recently bought an iPhone 4 and I understood all the paperwork, just tell me where to sign. I think the girl behind the counter, fearing having to explain everything in English to a foreigner at closing time, was as relieved as I was when I said that. It probably doesn't help that tomorrow is the start of the Golden Week holiday, which is equivalent to XMas/NY in a Western country for its length -- up to 10 days for some people.

Nebby Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 I always made sure I didn't need to go anywhere to buy anything during golden week, the crowds were simply ridiculous.
trevorlane Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 Final fantasy 3 for iPad Whoa. I heard this FF3 is more like the DS FF3 and not the SNES FF3, small differences, but far better graphics, plus new jobs?
morphsci Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 So I am too lazy to see if anyone else has posted this but the Pico DAC/Amp works just fine with the iPad2.
blessingx Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Seagate just introduced a portable drive specifically targeted at iPad users. Kinda interesting. More info. Edited May 18, 2011 by blessingx
recstar24 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Whoa. Now is that more like a portable NAS with it's own IP address that communicates directly to your iPad, or does it piggyback off of your current router and communicates to the iPad that way? The reason I ask is will you be able to stream from the hard drive and stay connected to your current wifi, in the event you are doing AirPlay with an express or appletv?
recstar24 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Sorry, next time I should read both links before posting. It appears you essentially connect directly to the devices discrete wifi network/IP, which means you are disconnected from your current router, which means you won't be able to stream through AirPlay. Unless the drive is able to operate as a network extender or piggyback off of your current wifi router. Please correct me if I am not conceptualizing this correctly.
blessingx Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Posted May 18, 2011 That's how I'm reading it and maybe why they're stressing video (when you're unlikely to be doing other tasks including surfing). We'll have to see how the network is handled. Still with iPads USB digital audio out this could be a decent solution over some of the crazy setups to get digital audio out of iPhone.
morphsci Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 I think I will wait for them to get more than 5 hours battery life.
recstar24 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Ooooh...just had a thought. Would a squeezebox classic or touch be able to communicate with the seagate mobile drive? I am wondering If the files on the drive can only be accessed by the app. I am not familiar with the costs of your typical NAS device so it may make more sense just going with a NAS but a portable drive that can stream to iPad and possibly be accessed by other streaming devices for $199.99 500 gb seems intriguing.
Knuckledragger Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Well, shit. iPad Arcade Cabinet 'iCade' Now Shipping $99.
morphsci Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) So if anyone is looking for a nice leather case that protects your entire iPad 2, I can certainly recommend the YooBao Case V2. I have been using it for about a month now and it works great. It is well constructed and really does not add much bulk. Plus it costs a bunch less than the Apple Leather case.

I have the case too, and am happy with it. I just wish it hadn't taken over 3 weeks to arrive, as I dented my iPad2 the very day before it arrived.
blessingx Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Posted June 10, 2011 If you're a tweaker, EQu is kinda interesting. Not system wide, so doesn't work with FLAC player and other third-party apps, but does iTunes and AirPlay. May want to consider the competition also (see comments).
