The majority of Plasma TVs in homes today are 1024x768 with non-square pixels. 1080p Plasma is a fairly recent invention and while it's standard for 50" sets, most 42" sets are still 1024 as it's the cheaper option. (Plasma sets almost always have good scalers onboard so 720p/1080p/i inputs are always accepted)
In the case of something like the iPad, I've used the HDMI adapter with my Plasma just fine. (Although, upon getting iPad 3 I did need to go swap the HDMI adapter at an Apple store...) As far as the TV is concerned it's receiving a 720p (well, for iPad 2) signal so it still shows up widescreen.
The only trick to the adapter is that usefulness varies among models. On the iPad 2 and iPad3 you get direct interface mirroring - all apps and the main screen port to the TV. On the original iPad you need to be using a compatible app like the default Apple video application.

Still amazed at the display. Got a look at an iPad 2 again at work the other day....yikes!
Yeah it's funny. Lately I've been setting up iPad2's for clients and when I look at the old screen it's definitely noticeable. It's amazing how your eyes play tricks on you the first time you see retina. "Oh it looks good I guess." Then you go back to the old screen after extended use..."Hold shit that resolution sucks!"
I had started my tablet experience with the Touchpad, and even during the short tenure I had with it, I knew the resolution was terrible. So when I received the new iPad, it was like experiencing tablets all over again. Recently, I had the chance to use an iPad2, and I was shocked to see it was just as atrocious as a Touchpad, as far as resolutions are concerned.
this has always been the curse of higher resolution. i mean ten years ago i thought a component display ps2 was the most amazing TV i'd ever seen, now it's barftastic. and the first time i saw hd fuhgedaboutit now it's like UGH what res is this game at?

Can anyone recommend a good app to stream video from my computer to my iPad on the fly? I have been using Air Video since the days of iPad 2 but it hasn't been updated since last year and the non-retina icon / UI is starting to irk me.

Going to be getting my very first IPad tomorrow and was to get the 16GB but then i was told by my friend who has an IPad 32GB that 32GB is the sweet spot for an IPad.
is that true ?
I've currently got about a 1.55GB of Music and 5.48GB of Apps
and 1 Movie
what do you guys think 32GB or 64GB ?

16GB has always been fine for me, but I don't care to keep media on my ipad. I stream any media if I want it on there.

There are Apple Stores everywhere, and I don't think people are still buying it in bigger numbers three years later because it's a big iPod.

Well, it really is a big ipod touch. But it being bigger allows you to do a lot more with it.

It pretty much is a big iPod. There really isn't much more to that because there doesn't need to be. Being a big iPod is pretty damn substantial.
That is the reason people are buying it.
I use StreamToMe, which was updated a few months ago to stream 1080p video for Retina iPad. Very similar to Air Video, but I think I like it better.
I'd disagree, because apps designed for iPad set it apart from the iPod touch/iPhone. What the larger form factor and apps designed for it enables is a very different experience. The iPod touch is an iPhone without cellular and phone functions, the iPad is more it's own thing now.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
It sure is the reason.
No it's a tablet computer. A full blown computer that can be a complete PC replacement for many people.
Your not tobor, I'm not falling for this.
It browses the internet, checks e-mail, plays games, able to create word/excel/powerpoint document types, etc. And does a damn great job at all of the above. All things 99% of people need their computer for. How is it not a personal computer?

My safari is the pits right now. Constant crashes, constant tab reloads, slowarse tabs
All after installing spotify. Guess it really goes eat up a lot of memory.

There are people out there where this is not foreign
still shit at multitasking when you need to do serious work (research, writing etc.)
That doesn't mean it's not a computer
So the original Mac wasn't a computer? iPad is better at multitasking than it by far! Apparently multi window support is how one defines a computer and that alone now.

For very basic things it can replace a laptop, but so can a phone.
Why are you getting upset?
It's just a joke to try and claim its not a computer, especially now.

No. Phone screen is too small for what ipad can do
Also the ipad case is becoming too heavy for me. Anyone know a cover which is cheaper than smart cover but cheap and minimally invasive

Haha, can't wait for Andrex to have a meltdown once Google releases Chrome for iOS.
"bu..bu..but they can't use their V8 JS engine on iOS so they will never do it!" :lol
What a ridiculous statement to cover up their lack of initiative. These guys just don't want to put in the hard work necessary to compile a package that will be executable within iOS computers.
Hence the need for a giant iTouch! Well provided you're not mostly reading books. If you're doing that, then just get a Kindle.

Just upgraded from my 1st gen iPad to the "new iPad" . Wow, what a huge improvement! I loved my first iPad, but I agree with the idea that this version of the iPad makes good on the promise of the iPad. (To be fair the iPad 2 probably did as well, but I haven't used it)
Disappointing. It's so dumb that Apple won't allow third party HTML rendering engines on iOS. i want a proper Firefox. And Opera Mini manages to skirt around that dumb rule too.

Sorry if this has been asked (I don't really follow this thread) but does anyone know any pouches that will fit both an iPad and the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover?
Trying to update a tumblr post using only an iPad and running into a dropbox problem that I'm not sure how to solve.
I want to embed a picture in the tumblr post using a photo in my dropbox public folder but I keep getting the website url, not the direct url.
Anyway around this? I've tried going through the dropbox website in safari and i've tried the dropbox app on iPad and still not seeing it for some reason.
Thanks

I regret getting a 16gb iPad. 32 really needs to be the minimum. I used up 16 gigs in a week and I don't have music/pictures/movies on the device.
