Any form of Apple product discussion can go in here.
But for now I would like to know what apps have you downloaded for you iPad, Vash? I need more apps!
Also get Draw Something. You get some weird words in this pictionary game lol.
Infinity Blade2 and Modern Combat are a bit pricey but both looks nice. I think I can settle with the cheap/free knock offs though.
Edit: When I went to buy the new iPad today, I swear this chav was glaring at me all the way until I left. He was gripping onto the sample new iPad on the desk too. Felt as if he was going to rob me lol. But I did have 2 friends with me.
It's absolutely crazy and fasincating how Apple is able to gather so many people to come to their store everyday though. And maybe b/c of that (the noise), the staff spelt my name as Aoan. That's a first.

They engraved it as Aoan?! "no return" /jk Yeh I've never been in a apple store...it's far too rrp and i know everything about ipod/pads/phones anyway xD well apps wise i have 504 in itunes, been playing with apps for 3 years straight xD i am master! You'll want to turn off the spyware hidden in settings (there's 2 settings, 1 to record and 1 to send it online) what apps you interested in? (gigantic list) [spoiler3] general apps are like: tv guide comes in handy (especially if you sky+ or vm+=remote record) tv catchup app... not bad, freeview! very handy for those times you need to catch the last 5mins of a film/program calculator, weather and compass apps (cos ipads dont come with them) ebay + amazon apps facebook,twitter, skype for easier reply convenience (also proboard app but it's paid) google earth for a mess around For a fellow movie buff: imdb has a highly polished app and flixster for something more simple and writing reviews to post on fb. Game stuffsony ps app/ms xbox app jetpack joyride Assassins creed card game if you want to learn something new Asphalts*x paid but cheap ( that's what she said) *6 - driving game virtual tabletennis cos the paddles handle well (lol) techno kitten for a acid trip paid but worth it: bike baron (there is a trial) machinarium Tooooooola!cloudon for cloud MS apps (gd, and handy but laggy as hell) speedtest.net app is iphone but all iphoen apps work on ipads dropbox app is great "disk space free" YES handy as hell, space fills fast, think pie phone drive free - turns idevice into usb storage (can bee http'd in to wirelessly) ace player to play different vid file formats (it switches between paid n free so just wait) uPlay app (ubisoft) gives an award (free points) for logging in by idevice Photo Manager - to organise n pw photo collections, great slideshow n interface but not 100% how legit developer is. oyster app winzip app for opening winzips from attachments[/spoiler3] also paid apps to allow ipad as second monitor display, remote control for utorrent and lastly off top of my mind, Soundhound - beats the hell out of shazam crap, i test it on some asian music for fun and it's impressive and tweetable! on xmas day there was this miku song on radio, it was complete techno drizzle 010101 language (think ASFDTYFJDGASYKUDTYAG) and by god, it linked it correctly, both artist and name, astonnished. what else ya been downloading? what about kaito :v

I have no where near as many apps as you have. My iPod has sort of been reduced to just playing music which is sort of a waste of its function XD Yeah I..er...accepted that in the initial set up. Lol. How do I switch it off? Games and camera manipulation apps mainly. --- IMDB - indeed very nice layout, I'm keeping that Twitter - installed straight away. I may install skype, but I have no contacts so hmm. And no facebook, it's evil. Can't find an iPad tumblr app though. Jetpack joyride - DL-ing now. Looks ilke Drake with jetpack. Sony app - like for ps3? Couldn't find one for iPad Assassins Creed - It's that the game registered in your gamecenter? How is it? Virtual tabletennis - Free? Still need grab it. Dropbox / Box - Yep, I got both. Dropbox is a bit inferior in terms of uploading from pc. I can't drag and drop into the site like I could do with box. But I suppose it's worth keeping as it's much more well known. Ace player - Have you got it? Yeah I don't mind waiting. Too bad I can't bookmark/flag apps. uPlay + winzip - Got it. But I don't know when I'll use winzip. And uPlay has little point of keeping around after getting the free points. Might delete both. Soundhound - exactly what I was looking for and theo nly one I found off Google recommendation was shazam. --- Zome Panic in Wonderland Plus (Demo) - Try it. Looks nice. But not worth buying. Apparently you have to pay for continues and extra characters even after purchasing the app. RageComics - Provides plenty of lolz but overall design is a bit plain. BBC iPlayer - incase iTunes fails me for radio podcast GT Free+ HD - Huge file though a nice copycat of GT Dolphin HD - browser And a bunch of free+sample books/magazines (I actually thought the magazines are free XD, well technically they are but resized smaller).

Wow you actually found Zome Panic in Wonderland Plus? jeez i left that out, i've had it for couple months! great game, sort of niche, but yeh don't like the pricing, feels bit wrong way around :s a shame because it's entertaining. Ace player - Have you got it? Yeah I don't mind waiting. Too bad I can't bookmark/flag apps. um maybe www.fileden.com/files/2006/8/29/193541/Clan Stuff/icons/Kamina.gif[/img] lol pm your imessage email, i can link you to the one i use (also want to test imessage more). and in regards to the spy logging stuff: settings>location services>system services> diagnostics&usage [off] and while there, locaiton based iads [off] to save battery they also say turn off setting time zone but i like to leave it on. second to stop the ipad sending the logs. settings>general>ABOUT>diagnostics&usage> DON'T send. i also turn off bluetooth which saves the most power and turn my brightness down by 50%, they save turn off auto brightness but eh i keep it. //edit: bonus: PING (the apple crap) is on by default, you can turn it off and save power by by activating restrictions. and forgot to mention, the Playstation app is actually an iphone app, no ipad yet :\ and annoyingly, will ask for login everytime (personally i use itrophies (paid) for the past couple fo years before sony released its app. @kaito, ipad, iphone apps, no?

It's weird.
The tiles layout takes some getting use to. I mean the transition between Android and Apple products aren't that great b/c of the similarities it shares. Windows however is completely different. It's very slick but suffers from a lack of apps. I have the Nokia 800, £21.50 per month on O2. Not a bad deal. It's my temp phone (my Xperia ends next week) until The New iPhone comes out. Great for 360 gamers I guess, you can connect to your account, edit profile on the go and earn more achievements from phone games.
I'd say go to the stores and play around on one. (Good) Android phones are too expensive so I went Windows.

Anyone know a browser on ze ipad that can play flash? I've done alot of research on it, flash apps will always send the webpage game/video to a PC based in USA (coast?) to be rendered by a random PC then streamed back to your device, they intercept and monitor all info and data collect (which is technicallly illegal if living in UK). But yes, extreme lag ahoy... about 125-200 i'd say Skyfire is the popular app that boasts flash and herald as "the flash app for apple" but in reality it can't actually play any flash games at all and the connection is bad and some vids wont work (pot luck) iswifter is a childish looking app but does surpass skyfire in being able to stream more videos and flash games but they are completly US based as mentioned above pretty much, do not waste your money, i've tried "demos" of both, not even worth 0.10p. [spoiler3]Even in hacking scene there is NO such thing as any sort of Flash software or mod! there was once something useable years ago but it does not work anymore to stress how badly this situation is, you may or may not know, that, youtube has actually had to build a completly seperate infrastucture underneath for apple devices to connect and stream from (years ago), hence the dedicated app, EVERY vid has to be converted to apple standard codec (not mov, but m4v?) lol what a run around! and why? because apple and adobe dont get along, big babies. (cant remember which disrespected, think apple maybe) sort of like MS not allowing sony to use their NTFS drive filesystem, Heck, the xbox just uses FAT, not even FAT32 LoL[/spoiler3]

My Apps Youku HD - chinese video site Twitter OPlayer HD Lite A load of games. I recommend the Kairosoft games Any good? It's lags so much on pc and I think now they actually blocked out oversea viewers? What? And you never told us? Vash recommends ace player, how does this compare? Any good ones in particular? Oh and what about the message app and GameCenter name?

@vash Man sounds bad about the flash thing >_> I always wondered why other video sites couldn't play like youtube or dailymotion. Thx anyway I'm still undecided whether to jailbreak mine lol I've not updated the ipads firmware because heard theres no turning back afterwards.
@kk The youku app sucks actually lol I've not used it recently but it takes ages to load up a video your better off going on their actual site using safari.
Told you what? O-o I have twitter?
I looked at ace player.. its a paid app! how about you try oplayer lite and tell me which one is better XD
Its got to be the first one they released. Game Dev Story next one would be ... Hot Springs or Grand Prix Story.
I don't really use them, I just registered and thats it lol, name should be akaisagi anyway

Meh, I hate streaming anyway. Just wanted to know if youku was worth getting as my backup incase I can't find something. I found another Chinese stream site app (BesTv 百视通影视). Have yet to try it's quality and connection though.
Yeah. Pretty much the whole clan is on twitter though only a handful are the active ones.
Oh, was not aware there is a lite version. I shall download it.
I don't think you can do much on GameCenter anyway, unlike Openfeint which has a messenger and forum.

I really havent tested ace player guys, but i can guarantee it will go free again :v but i can vouch for their other app called 'AirAV' which i've used to stream a vid from my media server
i'll stick a mkv anime ep in the ace app and see how it goes but what are you two actually looking for in terms of codec play?
ok LOL just looked up my sources, ace app will be free on the 25th, and go back up 29th according to its stats (monthly) xD
@kreuz, yeh i guess most of us are on twitter xD
@akai, high recommend to unlock it and install the mods, makes life easier =-= like putting a button in the top slide menu to close all background apps (except any you specifiy in settings) snes,nes, gba play with wii remote connectivity!
did forget to mention i have actually got the official VLC app (not the streamer, its the app they pulled off store) maybe i can send it? i know you can drag n drop apps to itunes but think it's "registered" to my itunes account :\ let me know.
