My new iPad arrived this afternoon as promised. I am syncing it now. Luckily it fits all my covers and looks great.

Very exciting.

Congratulations Gert - certainly beats queing for one. I'll be interested to hear your reviews.
-
Oh I want one. Let us know what it's like.
-
Wonderful Gretchen, just perfect to keep in touch with head office. I'll go and wash my mouth out with soap now.
-
I do believe HO prefers the phone that way there is no paper trail!
BTW the camera and photos on this iPad are beautiful.
Gert

Bet you are having fun with your new toy Gretchen.
-
You bet Judy. Took only seconds to set up and about 15 minutes to sync 150 apps. Now i have to sort the apps out into some sort of order.
My DH will be thrilled to get my old one when he returns from KL

How many gig did you get gett.. I bought 16 but havevsoon realised its not enough?? Can you store things on itunes to make space or not??
-
Gert, have fun with your new toy. ;D
-
Have fun with your new toy Gert :)

We got new iPads today too. Was wondering if it was worth upgrading but it definitely is. The screen is so much clearer. Love it but it's getting an expensive habit. Every year we have upgraded to the new model..... Though we don't upgrade our Mac book pro's as much a we used to so I guess that evens things out.

I bought. 64 GB with 3 G. Probably will never use all.
You can back it up on your computer or on iCloud. You cannot make more space that is why I upped it from 32 GB .
If you have a lot of photos taking space try backing up to your computer and deleting the pics from device. Not sure about that's so you have better check first.
Think about rationalising the giving of old one to a needy person like DH or someone so you can get the new one. I am glad I did.
Like you say it is all about the quality as well as the quality of life. I use my iPad, Kindle and Thermomix but not necessarily in that order. My life could be boring without.
Gert
Thank Buddha it is not made by Bellini. LOL!
The screen and pics are brilliant.

Life is short Jude59. If you can afford it why not? Mind you do think twice about paying $40 for a leg of lamb.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/7bd3ca14-02fb-269a.jpg)Maybe I can show you the difference in the camera. This is a dull day. The first pic is from iPad 2
-
(http://img.tapatalk.com/7bd3ca14-0327-48d1.jpg)This one a few seconds later with the new iPad
-
I can see the difference Gert, the new iPad certainly has more detail.
I have the first generation iPad and it does not have a camera at all and is only 16 GB. Would love a 64GB iPad 3. (one day)
-
Haha dh got one at the same time but might leavebit for the kids to use if i can convince dh to buy the new one only 3 mths after i got the ipad2 lol...i definately need more space.. My iphone 4s id 64g but think i need t leadt 32 if not 64 just to not have any space issues
-
I find the first one sharper?? And you said thats ipad2?? Maybe its my screen lol
-
My first iPad - generation 1 - was 16gb. That was a BIG mistake. Second and third generation I bought 64gb and trust me I'm a power user.... I need them! Definitely go for the most GB. I also love having the option of being able to travel overseas and just pop a card in and have instant Internet no matter where you are. I do love my pad :)
-
Actually frozzie. I may need your help. We are back to France mid may til mid June (including the Loire Valley). Who is the best card provide for my iPad????
-
Ill have to check it out jude as we got one for my brother at christmas and although great price and functions it took 3 to 5 days to activate services ????? And he was only here for 5 so it can be kind of special and not at all the same as oz or asia etc... Not so tech savy here lol.. However orange is france telecom and have the best coverage but sfr is good too... Ill check out prepaid cards and get back to you ok!!
-
Ah, so now we know where you spend most of the day Gert - floating around in the pool with your kindle or iPad and a drink not too far away. What a life. I could only see the difference in the photos when I came to add a reply - they are on different pages in the thread but are under each other when you come to reply. It was like being in the optometrists chair - 'which one is clearer, No. 1 or No. 2' - :-)) Yours was easier to pick than the dots up on the wall :P
-
Oh trudy is here beginning of may then off again on her travels..
You can pm me .. Where abouts are you staying in the loire valley??
😊
-
Montrichard is where we stayed last time and we are hoping to do the same again. We generally just hang out at McDonald's when we want to check emails etc in France but it would be nice to have Internet whenever wherever especially whilst lying around in bed in the mornings ;). Then w go down to St Remy. Used to stay Plan d'Orgon near Cavaillon but recently St Remy

It is a bit difficult to see the better pic on this space but it was a very dull dark day and the one taken with the iPad2 made everything look too bright and green. Notice the pavers are more detailed with the new one. Next time I take a pic of some food I will see if I can tell the difference and post. See if I can get the same shot with both.
Gert
-
It's amazing Gretchen. We checked them out this morning.
-
Also Gert, I guess it would depend what we are viewing your pictures with. For me with the iPad 1 I could see that your iPad 3 picture had more detail than the iPad 2. But other than that they looked pretty much the same. Would need an iPad 3 to really appreciate the difference.
-
Since I only got my iPad 2 in January, I won't be moving to iPad 3 for a while. I wish I'd known then that a new one was in the offing. Should have got the 2 a lot cheaper since it was being superseded.
I don't use the camera on my iPad anyway, so that's not important to me. What I'd really like is a USB port!
-
Mj dont know if you know but you can buy n adapter for usb
-

Sent you a pm as easier than posting a whole lot of stuff irrelevant to everyone else 😊
-
Now you mention the path tile yes the second is sharper but at first glance on my ipad v2 didnt look like it but if you look closely yes there is a difference

Meganjane I took my iPad on a trip down the Mekong and the wee VDOs and pics I took with it were brilliant for sending directly by email to those who were interested. I am not camera person at all but it is fun to use probably because I never had a camera. I have a friend in France at the moment who is sending me wee bits from the local markets and I am loving it. She has had some memorable meals she has photographed and shared. I am envious of your trip.
The USB port Frozzie mentioned is just a longer cord for charging the iPad directly into a power point I think which is handy if the only power point is near the floor.Just pick up a European universal adaptor at the airport. Most hotels have one in a power point in the room. Sometimes two.
Frozzie will steer ya in the right direction.
