I have it, it's awesome even if I suck at it. DJ Hero made it look so easy...jon bones said:

Dead Space iPad is 99 cents today, was going to buy it for when my iPad 2 gets here next week but I cannot download itunes. The iTunes page on Apple.com is all whacked out and there is no download button...

:/ Miniot has responded to let me know when it ships or if I get a tracking number.

Finally got a smart cover for my wife's iPad 2. Holy fuck it's pretty damn slick, especially with the auto locking. Plus it's really unobtrusive when placed on the keyboard dock.
Looks like I'm gonna have to replace my first gen soon, wallet be damned.

No idea. People in the iOS gaming thread might know better. The sale hasn't hit the US yet, but a bunch of Euro stores just had all their EA games dropped to the equivalent of 99¢.commish said:

It's thin tip, but that plastic wedge at the end has to stay on. So it's really more like a pen with a piece of putty stuck to the writing end.
Maybe that's enough to get over the cognitive gap though...

yes, exactly, it FEELS more like a real pen. all the stylus(styli?) i've used are like crayons and it's difficult to be accurate with them.Crazymoogle said:

Yeah, drives me crazy. Sketchbook Pro feels completely useless unless you like finger painting or doing huge chalk drawings.
I've bought that before (2 years ago?). It's not bad but the stylus is a bit unwieldy. Dagi used to make a smaller version which I liked a lot more but they stopped production sometime last year :/Twilight Princess said:
If you want a stylus 'like a pen' then get the oStylus:

Re: browsers other than Safari, I posted this on the last page before the guy that asked about it:
Well one other thing is with the hold to open in tab thing, when the link is an image (like on the forum here) it pops up a menu to save the image or open the tab, kind of annoying when 99.9% of the time I'd likely rather open the link.
I've been using it today and generally like it. The main thing that's been bugging me is that on Google search pages from the search bar (which sometimes have some redirect code) it just doesn't work to open the links for whatever reason. That and I can't get into my school site with it cause it won't load past the expired/invalid security certificate (...which the school should take care of really), whereas Safari and iCab let you ignore the warning and continue.japtor said:

And it looks pretty much like the Boxwave and others, the usual nubby ball tip.neojubei said:
So I'm using my iPad to assist in my plans to learn French.
You know what would be great? If in the Kindle app, highlighted words could be translated on-the-spot.
That would be the most amazing use of the technology for me, and so simple and practical.
As opposed to sitting down with a book and flicking through a French-English dictionary, one can simply read the text in its original language, and highlight words on the fly that they don't know.
In fact, support for learning languages is all round pretty shit on the iPad - such a missed opportunity for the technology.

my girlfriend LOVES scrabble. Also, monopoly.suffah said:
Thanks for the heads up! I saw your post earlier and searched for it on my iPad. The search results said $0.99 but when I clicked on the game and went to it's page, the buy button said $9.99. So I went back to the search results page and purchased it by clicking the button that had 99 cents on it. They better not charge me the ten bucks for it or else I'm gonna raise a ruckus!Deadly Cyclone said:

This same thing happened to me so I immediately checked my purchase history and it has 99 cents as the purchase price.

Question all. I am at my parents' place using my mom's iPad and want to watch gametrailers tv from last night. Every other video on their site has a "play on iPhone" button you hit, but gttv doesn't. Any way to see the latest gttv on here?

Also another question, some forums and sites you cannot get the keyboard to pop up so you can type in reply boxes, is there any way around this?

Finally bought Atomic Browser.
Wow does this thing make Safari look like a piece of crap.

Reposting this from the manga thread:
I've been using the lite version of Manga Storm on my iPad and I like it so far. Before I purchase the full app, I'd like to know if there's a better (online) manga reader available. Any tips?

What's so good about Atomic?Buckethead said:

No idea why Atomic became the more talked about independent browser. iCab should be getting the love
I'm one of the big iCab proponents, but I've been using Sleipnir (posted on the last page about it) and generally like it better. It doesn't have all the features of the others, but in general the UI is just a lot nicer feeling and looking.
...other than the Google search having an issue with the resulting page (clicking the Search button on the page gets around it for now).

Is that the issue where you can't just get the keyboard focus on anything? If so I've seen that before, I think the workaround is to force the focus on something else, like the address/search fields or something in a new tab.Deadly Cyclone said:

I have been using Maven, and like it pretty well. Really like the dual-screen layout, as it makes me more productive on the toilet.
Dual browsing and pooping at the same time? This comes to mind for some reason:biggyfries said:avatarquote.gif
