There are a few methods on pc, but I'd love that to be remote too - eg as an addition to air video, so it knows it doesn't have to fully convert, just remux.
PC, i5 2500k (Sandy Bridge).
I did a quick google of MKV to iPad and found quite a few different programs but I'm kind of hesitant to try something that isn't GAF-endorsed, so to speak.
I've already put all conversion settings to the highet quality available but Live Conversion still looks bad compared to a pre-converted file.
I use my pants or my shirt.

Buy a capacitive stylus. Friends of mine laughed when mine came in yesterday and I brought it to work. Now a couple are buying their own because it's surprisingly comfortable to use while keeping the screen cleaner than it would otherwise be with your fingerprints. I can still launch programs, scroll through my Reeder list and, if stressed, even tap out a slightly pixelated response to my colleagues in Mail with the stylus just fine.
Now I just need to find a case with a little slot for a pen, and I'll be set.

Huh? Are you talking about screen protectors?
Lol. You're talking about a screen protector. They suck and should be avoided. I'm talking about the smart cover, it's a completely different thing.
Is the Wi-Fi issues only related to dropouts and hotspots not showing up? Or does it also include weaker than expected range?
I noticed on the other side of the house my iPad will connect to the hotspot, but the signal is so weak it can't do anything beyond that. The PS3, iPhones and iPad 2s can connect and get network access there despite the weak signal.

Is yours 3G only?
Huh. Seemed that way.
I was uploading a bunch of files when I compared them. Not sure if and how that could affect the speed of just one of the devices. But when comparing now, the new iPad is faster or at least equal. Dunno.

Gaf. Any experience with these cases:

Looks good and seems to have good reviews. Price is nice also.

Took my iPad by the Apple Store today and had them look at it for the battery issue I've been having. (Dropping 8%-10% over night on standby) They told me the battery seemed to be operating within acceptable range, but offered to exchange it anyway. I took them up on the offer, but unfortunately they didn't have an 64GB Black Verizon LTE models in stock so I have to wait until they arrive.
Looking forward to seeing if the new model fixes my issue.

It's not that bad. As I said, I was uploading a bunch of big files on my computer, and I chose very content-heavy sites for easier comparison.
But yes, I should really get a 802.11n AP.

Decided to get a replacement for my launch day iPad gen 3 today. I noticed a greenish discolouration in the lower third of the display, slightly above the home button. It's only apparent on white backgrounds, but I always noticed it when using the SecondApps GAF page, and what has been seen cannot be unseen.
Unfortunately there are no Apple stores near me, so I have to send it away and wait for them to send me a new one, probably be 2 weeks without it, but I'll live.
Debated about sending it back for a few days, but I plan on keeping it for a long time (not planning on selling for next version, will probably give it to my wife) so I figured I'd get it over with.

I think I'm firmly in "how did I live without this thing?" territory.
I'm picking up some accessories for an upcoming trip -- any good ones I'm missing? I already have a case so I'm good on cover stuff.
Morphie Juice Pack -- Anyone have any thoughts on this? Seems well-reviewed.
World Travel Adapter Kit -- Is this worthwhile since I already have some generic plug adapters. Not sure what the added value is exactly but maybe I'm missing something.
Digital AV Adapter -- So with this I can watch HBO Go from my iPad to my TV?
Any other similar stuff?

Thanks for that. Was looking for an alternative to Subler, which I use on my Mac. That's the closest I've seen without trying to put something together using all those utilties myself. Still won't work for me though since my eventual plan is to convert all my MKVs to mp4 and be able to use them everywhere, but for that I need a remuxer that allows multiple audio tracks. Subler does all that, it's just I don't want to have to plug my laptop into ethernet to remux all the videos from my NAS at a reasonable speed. May have to, though.
I'm in the "should have picked up after exams" category.
Been loving my Ipad, but I am thinking of bringing a macbook into the picture for work related reasons.
I will be shooting a film soon and will be doing so on a red scarlet which I have recently purchased, so I will be using the thunderbolt input to be able to help dump the huge files the thing will be throwing at me, but on the other hand I hear that the new Pro is coming out in 2-3 weeks and I wonder if it's going to really change things from the current set up, is the new ivy bridge that much better than sandy.

Nope. Fucking HBO blocks it.

Much slower: overstatement of the century. Are miliseconds that important to you?
If you want fast go with Opera... but guess what, Opera manages to be the only browser on iPad that's even worse than Safari, so... heh.
I can't even begin to address anyone who defends Safari as their browser of choice on the Pad. The lack of features is absurdly appaling. It's not a bad browser, but it's clearly one of the worse ones available.
Anyone?
Anyone looking for a deal on a sleeve: Verizon Deluxe Leather Tablet Sleeve With Front Pocket for $2.99 shipped.
I picked this up when they had a 2 pack for the same price (???). Great fit even with a smart cover on.
$1.99 here
http://www.dealmoon.com/1-Verizon-D...ith-Modem-Pouch-Fits-Most-Tablets/145572.html
Something is up with this sleve, it seems to be on sale for two to three dollars on various websites, maybe it is only worth that much. And I hardly doubt it's real leather.
Get a $50 Roku LT.
It's only $10 more than the AV adapter and has an HBO GO streaming channel (plus Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, Amazon, etc.)
And... it's more portable than the iPad + adapter too.
Unless you have time warner
Comcast blocks it as well.
ok i will just purge hbo go from my mind now.
So I broke down and got AppleCare, so I can now get expedited shipping, and get my replacement iPad at the same time as my return box (meaning no downtime). Not thrilled, but at least I have damage protection now. Wish I had a local Apple store, but the closest one is like 700 km away.
If you can deal with watching shows on the iPad itself, it works fine. Hopefully they sort this shit out at some point.
They did, but are adding it now. TWC is rumored to be the same but nothing official from them yet.

This is supposed to be fixed next week. At least for Xbox.

I'd say the only thing wrong with it is they made too many. They're liquidating stock.

Milliseconds? When is the last time you used Safari? It is substantially faster and the reason why I switched over from iCab.
Here's an email between iCab's dev and I:
If I need to use a feature not in Safari, I'll open up iCab but those instances are far and few in between. Maybe you're alright with these issues but I'll take a more fluid experience any day.

I switched from icab to Dolphin and just compared the scrolling between it and Safari. It looks like Dolphin lacks some sort of VSync, which makes the scrolling look jerky, but it's not slower. It just doesn't look as nice. I really like the UI of Dolphin, switching tabs and opening bookmarks by swiping from the left and right is great. Much more comfortable than moving the finger always all the way up to the top. That, and it keeps playing videos, when I switch tabs.

I'm finding safari more then satisfactory, what are those using other browsers getting out of them that safari can't do?
This may seem like a dumb question but how can I tell for sure that I have an iPad 3? Is there anything in the settings or box that will say it?
Im only asking beacuse I bought it from Best Buy 2 weeks ago and they told me it was the latest iPad and the price of it matched up with the correct price..however in itunes under "manage my devices" it refers to it as an iPad 2. Is this just a mistake on Apples/itunes part?
Edit: Nevermind...I found a place where I could check model numbers for the new iPads. Im guessing this is just a minor issue on Apple's side.

Uh it definitely shouldn't show an iPad 2. Google apple warranty check and enter your serial number. The old iPad 2 box also had a wallpaper with raindrops.
The new iPad's box has an iPad at a sharp angle with a blue background.
Also, do you have a Settings > General > Keyboard > Dictation option? Dictation is only available on the new iPad.
Thanks...I was able to check model numbers...it's definitely an iPad 3. It has dictation and the box has the iPad at a slanted side view with the "still water" background and not the raindrops.
