Oh

Posting from my first iPad

 

[KennyLinder]

What articles are these? You have to be at the web page of an article, not a homepage, for it save that article in your instapaper. Try NYT, CNN, The Verge, etc.


Elena and Tisa are gorgeous. Twilight mode is genius.

Went to the Apple Tv review on The Verge.

Goto Instapaper website to check, it's there
Goto app, it's not.

And, when does it download the entire article? If I were to press Read Later before my train, would it then get shooved down onto my ipad in text form via the app?.

Odd. Something is not configured right. It should just work. Let me setup instapaper on my new ipad and see whats up.

 

[tokkun]

I might cave in and get one, but the best buy here only has it in 16gb. Should I get it?
edit: 64gb also, hmm

It seems like a lot of apps with graphical UIs are doubling or tripling in size with the retina updates, so I probably would not go with 16GB unless you don't plan on installing many apps.

 

[Keylime]

Beautiful, but how do you get it to show text on the back of the page? Mine just shows a faint impression from the other side.

You have to turn the iPad into landscape mode to get it to do that.

Edit: ... by the way, have I told you how much I love to use dictation?!

 

[ZedIndyLil]

Purty purty screen.

Landscape. Portrait isn't double sided.

In the app, try logging out and logging back in, redownload all articles, or sync with Safari. If all else fails, just contact support.

The battery life is pretty impressive. I've been fiddling with it on and off all day and only just crossed 50%.

 

[KennyLinder]

Will do, cheers.

For offline reading to work do you have to goto the Instapaper app each time to download the article?

 

[Keylime]

Here's a weird thought: I'm probably going to use my iPad's LTE Internet to tether to my iPhone frequently…

Something about that sentence really creeps me out...

 

[Necromanti]

Is there any way to go into a two-page landscape mode when reading a PDF?

 

[killertofu]

I keep telling myself I don't need this

 

[Vyer]

Also tried iBooks out. Got the GoT graphic novel. The animation for shifting/page turning when you tap is pretty cool.

 

[Chanser]

Other than some backlight bleed and actual backlight poking through top bezel at an angle, seems great so far.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Trash can icon at the top of the email, or from the sidebar, swipe on the message to the right to reveal the delete button.

It shows archive for me, not delete.

 

[MThanded]

I might take my iPad back and get a road bike.

I am currently in a weird state of thought.

I have no qualms about the new iPad. It is an amazing device.

I think I'm losing my mind.

Ok that's very pretty. But surely most people read in portrait? Pages look a little small in landscape

Noone needs one

Don't do it.

Road bike < new iPad

 

[Keylime]

Yeah… I prefer to read in landscape myself. Feels like I'm actually holding a book, you know what I mean?

Don't you 'need' the iPad for reading PDFs docs in your masters program?

 

[kehs]

I can't believe gizmodo is blacklisted, this stuff is gold:

We Gave People an iPad 2, Told Them It Was the New iPad, and They Loved It
Apple's advertising onslaught is already battering down doors and TVs around the nation—you're gonna upgrade to a new iPad whether you like it or not. But based on our little test, most people can't tell the difference anyway.

We figured that if we—enormous nerds who fixate on pixel density—were underwhelmed by the screen, then what about non-gadget geeks? We rounded some coworkers and handed them a "new iPad." The "new iPad" was an iPad 2. They loved the new iPad.

Apple doesn't even need to try anymore.

Wait, the Verizon iPad can tether, for no additional charge, to an iPhone?

 

[MThanded]

It's a PhD program. I told you, I am in a weird state of mind right now.

To anything with wifi.

 

[Neo Child]

Typing from my first iPad ever, love it ahhh what's some awesome things to download (preferably free) from the App Store. That take advantage of retina display?

 

[Tobor]

If sure can. Up to 5 devices at a time, no additional charge.

 

[X-Frame]

Okay so looks like I just decided which data model to get ..

 

[bodyofanamerican]

What I'm really glad about is that we can put this white vs. black iPad debate to rest. It's clearly white.

 

[The Last Wizard]

no retina wallpaper app?

 

[Keylime]

Yeah, I got the 5 GB worth of data a month on this thing just because I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to blow past it by using it on my iPad as well as tethering it to my iPhone all the time on the train ride to and from work.

I'll be bumping it up or down depending on how much I end up using.

In the meantime I'm reducing my AT&T data plan for the iPhone... no need to tether on that thing anymore...

Edit: fixed my minor typo…

 

[MThanded]

50 GB WTF?

 

[MasLegio]

Rest of the world (23 march) still no preorder....
what the hell.....

6 days, how on earth will Apple pull this one off?

 

[Keylime]

50 GB WTF?

You know… 50 GB, 5 GB… It's the same thing!

 

[MThanded]

You know… 50 GB, 5 GB… It's the same thing!

My heart stopped.

 

[opticalmace]

You know… 50 GB, 5 GB… It's the same thing!

To an astronomer this is true.

 

[DasRaven]

I'm in line at the Chandler, AZ Apple store and the line is still going but only 5 deep.

The attendant has 2 handfuls of line tickets representing their remaining inventory. Probably 200 assorted ticket remaining. I feel bad for anyone that ordered online and is waiting.

I had to wait for a corporate discount authorization to come through before I purchased, but here I am and in about 10m I'll have a black/64/vzw for cheap.

Apple's supply chain problems are seemingly a thing of the past.

I still have unlimited in AT&T but my speeds are pathetic in NYC. I'm talking when I get 1 Mbps down I am in luck.

If Verizon LTE gets 20+ then it's a no brainer. I can finally stream videos. I just hope the network congestion doesn't cripple Verizon's LTE with a week.

 

[DopeyFish]

LTE YouTube = HD

Fuck yes.

Though watching one little video was 100 MB LOL

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I'll be getting the iPhone 5, my first iPhone, so I think I'll start using iCloud a bit more and getting all my musice uploaded. iPad can stream music from iCloud right?

 

[Tobor]

It shows archive for me, not delete.

Go into the settings, choose mail, then choose the gmail account. There's a switch called "Archive Messages". Turn it off. The archive button will now be delete.

 

[Awesome Animals]

Try backdrop hd

 

[threetri333]

Hey guys, I just got this iPad, what apps should I get? Any free ones worth getting?

 

[Slurpy2k20]

Glad I went with 16GB. Don't think I'll need more. If I ever do, I won't lose much $ trading it in.

Still need to get a case for this thing. Nothing I've seen is exactly what I want.

 

[dojokun]

I'm going with smart cover only on mine. Black iPad with dark grey polyurethene.

 

[Keylime]

I don't know why it took me so long to run a proper speed test… Holy shit!

 

[Vyer]

1080p rentals on iTunes look very good. Can't wait to rip one of my bus and try it.

 

[DopeyFish]

Oh yeah. Getting 30 Mbps/10 Mbps on Rogers

 

[dallow_bg]

I don't know why it took me so long to run a proper speed test… Holy shit!

Holy shit indeed!

ATT or Verizon?
