Ausgaf: I got a 16GB wifi model this morning. There were about 9 people in line. They gave out $30 iTunes cards and the 16gb Wifi model is only $498 (10% discount)

I don't anyone thought the 4s would bomb sales wise, Apple could box up a pile of shit and it would sell at least a million units. That's how powerful the Apple brand is

What? are you serious. I even know a lot of apple diehards who said it was going to flop.

Is there any way for me to get my iMAME from my un-jailbroken phone to the new iPad?

yeah, on the new ipad, go to the store, select purchases, then type in iMAME. store remembers all old apps and keeps them for download even if they’ve been removed from the store.

alternate method:

transfer imame to iTunes, connect new ipad to iTunes, sync apps and make sure imame is selected.
 
ITT: The usual suspects pretend that no one ever said the 4S was a disappointment, that Apple dropped the ball, and that it wouldn't sell as well.

The site those thumbnails were uploaded to gave me a faux pop-up, which when clicking the X downloaded an xvidsetup.exe I knew I was missing some plugins.

Oh nice! I got nothing, except for iPads. $498 and vouchers was awesome deal, who was doing that?
 
Are you really in here saying that a lot of people did not think the 4s was going to flop?

Are you being serious right now?

You gotta be joking.

I don't believe you.

[insert comment here]

I'm dead serious that the follow up phone to the lubriciously successful iPhone 4 was not viewed by a lot of people as something that would flop


I hope you're joking

Anyone try out the gaf webapp yet?

Posting from it now. This screen is unbelievable! I just picked two up from David jones in carindale, Brisbane. Didn't see anyone else waiting or lining up - it did look like the only way to get one was by having your name down first though, so no doubt they've exhausted their allocated stock.

None of my info on people saying it was going to fail came from gaf. I was actually banned during the 4s launch.

So many people i know in real life including people who own a family of apple devices claimed the 4s would fail.

On top of that many tech sites claimed it was going to flop too.

Sales flop not tech flop.
 
Question, is using the mobile app ckohler designed better to use on an iPad than just going to NeoGAF?


Uh I prefer his app almost to the current website design. Nothing wrong with the main one, but the mobile one just jives with me better. Are you using the mockup?

Edit: good that reeder is updated. Will be one of the first apps I pay for on the iPad. Been using it for over a year on my iPhone.

Go check out the macrumors forums from the time the 4S was announced. Some of the predictions from the sales experts there have become legendary.

I'm glad the people you know personally are an accurate representation of the general public, you could save these polling organizations millions of dollars



can we please stay on topic?

So no one else here heard people doubting the 4s?

I'll drop it. I assume i'm getting trolled.

The 4S announcement was hilarious because so many people thought Apple had lost it, somehow forgetting that it was exactly what Apple had done in going from the 3G to 3GS. I fully expect an iPhone 6 this year followed by doomsaying when they unveil the 6S in 2013 as people demonstrate their goldfish-like memories.

I was just curious because I've never used an iPad to browse GAF, or the web at all, so I wasn't sure if webapps were more intended for phone use or general mobile device use.

Just called the Walmart again, still no line of people.

This is going to be like stealing candy from a baby...only the candy is an iPad...and the baby charged me $599 for the candy.

Going to be sweet!

Yeah there is a method to their madness.

Is Reeder for iPad as great as Reeder for iPhone?

Worth the $5 is basically what Im asking

I've never used the iPhone version, but it is a must-have for me on iPad and Mac. I live in Google Reader, and it is damn near perfect, imo. If you're a big GReader user, the cost is well worth it.

Hitting the home screen button did just that, home screen, rather than the 2nd page where they were downloading to.

I just tested then by re-downloading i3D. The button changes from cloud to a greyed out installing, but no other evidence of it downloading (no movement in the wifi corner). Home screen buttoning out takes me to the homescreen. And lo and behold, the app had finished downloading/installing, no notification at all.

Further to this, purchasing a new app quit me from the appstore straight to the installing app.

I use it quite a lot, simply because everything feels so balanced; UI works well, gestures can be used in all the right places, and the app simply looks great on that screen. Would call it a Kindle-like RSS experience, but with gestures and smooth animations. Worth every penny to me.
