Torchlight is fun for a couple days but gets really old really fast. Lack of online + lack of classes really hurt it imo.

14 hours of battery life? Really?

and only for $150 less than the iTouch XL!

Agreed. I played about 7 hours before I said screw it, I'm not going down another floor.

Diablo III plzzzzzzzzzzz.

Let's play along with this outrageous claim and assume it can do 14 hours. This is probably on lowest brightness, wifi off and minimal use. I bet that laptop gets 8 hours with wifi on compared to the 13 hours of continuous video playback on an ipad.

If it's anything like regular Apple batteries it'll be half of that in a couple months.


(I've owned 3 iPods, same shit every time)

Yea...I got nothing. I charge my iPhone battery 3X a day and I don't wanna pay the $100 because I'm sure a new iPhone will be out in a few months.

 

[birdman]

This one + 2GB stick. I have a BT mouse that was hanging around too so it's perfect.

So it runs pretty good, right?

 

[Archie]

I charge my phone two times a week. :lol

Can you post on GAF from your phone?

I put batteries in my Wii Remote once every two years.

Yeep. I bought my psp on launch day.

You're just telling us you have no friends.

Same, I even replaced the battery and it still happens. Although I don't think the newer battery is made by Sony (it was only $12) so it probably sucks just as much as the launch battery.

 

[ravien56]

50 year old men rarely do.

I constantly steal the batteries out of my Wii Remote for my 360 controller, and they are always fresh.

May 23rd that all changes.

I was making the point that if Archie doesn't use his phone for anything compared to smartphone users the battery won't die. But the point is valid about how shitty the library is for the Wii is well.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

I have no friends AND I charge my phone every night.

 

[MrOctober]

That's because you're always calling and breathing heavy into my voicemail for hours on end.

 

[ravien56]

So what you're really saying is: Archie's bullshitting us.

Archie? Bullshitting us? Well I never...

 

[Ashour]

I'm sure if you buy a real battery that won't happen.

I once forgot my fat PSP on sleep mode for 2 weeks and only 20% was gone.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Well, yea. I promise to cut that down to 3 times a day starting next month.

So what you're really saying is: Archie's bullshitting us.

I do have an iPhone, so take that as you will.

 

[Archie]

Can you post on GAF from your phone?

Possibly.

 

[ravien56]

Possibly.

Ehh it sounds like you rarely use your phone. If I used my phone once a day, I'm sure I'd be charging it once every 2 or 3 days.

You guys see this?

It's pretty much never a good idea to do a movie based on a show, especially one that got canceled so fucking long ago. You should be happy that there's no movie really.

And that movie made 25 million and cost 39.

Yea except for the faster processor, more ram, the 2 bigger, better batteries, modified OS, better speakers, screen lock, better resolution, etc.

Who cares how much it made. I liked it, plus it had Dennis from It's Always Sunny in it for a couple minutes before he was killed off. :lol

Do you own stock in Apple?

 

[TheGreatDave]

Making the battery the focus of the iPad is the best thing Apple has done. It makes it so much more appealing.

The studio.

I did a stock game when I was in college, Apple stock is good over long term...short-term, not so much.

This. 10-12 hours of battery life on a device is amazing.

 

[Costanza]

I use the thing all day and the battery barely drops. It's insane.

Cubs not so awesome.

Really now. That's just obvious. Apple put so little effort into the iPad, it's ridiculous.

I was talking from an OS perspective. It's basically a reskinned iPod Touch OS which is a modified iPhone OS. =/

Given what it's trying to be, that's a good thing.

When multitasking inevitably comes to the iPhone OS, the custom OS for iPad is going to be a lot better than a random tablet with Windows 7. It's not really a case of "not putting effort in". Considering what you want from these kinds of devices (good battery life, speed) I'd say the device is great. The issue for us normalies is price.

I'm sure we could say that for any Apple product, oh look at these fucking macbooks, still using the same OS, same thing for any new windows OS, how much shit they ripped off from Mac OS X, its pathetic.

Not too worried. This is our year. Believe.

Computers and pseudo-netbooks aren't the same thing.

I was talking about from one device to another. I can understand the iPod Touch having the same OS. It's basically the iPhone, but I wanted something brand new and fresh when it came to the iPad. Something customized to it, rather than modified from something else.

haven't had a chance to really test it, but it seems reasonable. I'll set it up at work tomorrow and see what happens in 9 hours with wi-fi on + full brightness.

So it runs pretty good, right?

oh yeah. It's speedy, even when it's running outlook and word and firefox at one time.
