Amazon Music

 Why does amazon music always crash on my iPad when after start up the amazon music app then go and start the kindle app, the music app crashes 

I would like to say that it’s very annoying.

Maybe one day it will get fixed, sadly I am using the apps on an older iPad, that is full updated and the same with both apps I have installed all the updates that have been released but still they crash.

Ipad

Screen protector 1 User 0

Putting a screen protector on to an Ipad is I think a lesson in patience or it's a quick and very easy route to madness, well for me it is!

This simply play the protector on the Ipad and squish the odd bubble out ( is what the chinglish instructions say to do)

After more than 6 attempts I still have a screen with air bubbles on it!

I am told by the other half, and she would know this sort of thing ,that they will get smaller over time, lets hope so.

Because at this moment in time the Moon has a flatter surface than my poor old Ipad.

ipad 1 year on

This is what I said back on 28th Jan 2010 about the ipad, it makes interesting reading 1 year on, or very nearly 1 year on.

ipad

So the ipad is out, I don't know why but I wanted it to have more than they gave. By that I mean that as a version 1 device it has some failings that to me here in little old England are so obvious that you begin to wonder just what plant so of the folks in Apple are on.

I suppose will will never know what sort of discussions went to to decide what the machine should or should not have but the sad fact is that for what ever very good reasons, some of the stuff that they have left out are well to me just strange.

Take for instance multitasking, if I understand it right the new cpu that the ipad has, is more than capable of doing more than one task at the same time, the OS in the ipad can multi-task, in fact I think I have read somewhere that it does multi-task if you happen to be Apple and its your software running at the time.

So why does it not multi-task? there must be a reason, what it is I just don't have a clue.

The other thing that is not there is a forward facing camera, which would make the ipad just so much more usable, may be Apple don't want to sell too many devices or the cost of adding a camera broke the budget on the build cost.

Talking of build cost, I wonder just how much it does cost to make an ipad?

One thing that makes me really unhappy is that when I use my itouch ( which I do use very heavily, and have also run out of space on lots of times, its a 32G unit) is the number of website that don't work because I don't have flash on the itouch and I now see that for some reason Apple have still not got over there fears, worries about allowing it to work on the new ipad, why?

I am told by those in the know that the machine eg my touch is more than capable of running flash without any real problems.

So I have looked at other version 1 devices that Apple has done and have decided that a version 2 device is the better way to go.

So I have 12 more months to go before I will have to look at replacing my touch , I hope it lasts that long as the use it gets is stupid.

It goes without saying that as the year went by that I had a chance to play with the machine and the end results of that was that I now have an ipad with the latest OS on it, I am glad that I did not get the machine any earlier as I think that it would have been a bit of a disappointment in having to wait for so long to get the right operating system that makes use of all that the machine has to ofter.

I do know that an ipad2 is going to be announced soon but I don't think I could wait another 5 to 6 months for it hence the jump to the ipad1.

So I shall look at the ipad2 when it eventually makes its appearance here in the UK later this year.

Ipad

One thing that I have found that I don't like about the ipad is how marked and dirty the screen gets.

Rocket launch

I wait some 40 days to see the French rocket lift off.(I can't remember it's name!)

I did every thing I could to make sure I could see it, I had the ipad set up I was on the live fee 15 minutes before the launch was due. I sat there watching to see that all the status lights were green all the way down to 1 minute, then what happens?

yes you guessed it, the feed to the ipad dies..

You can imagine the language that I used....
So I did not see the live launch I was not very happy
Why did it fail?

There is nothing on the official site to explain that there feed to the internet died, but at least in the end I did see a recording of it it, it's not the same thing but at least i got to see the rocket fly.

Only 47 days to the next launch, 15th Feb 2011...

Ipad 2

I have an Ipad 32G have just transfered all my stuff from my touch, now I only have 7G left!

Ipad

so i got an ipad for xmas, which is nice and its great and all that sort of stuff, what I was amazed to see is just how few apps there are for the ipad, I assume because its hard to pro gramme or something?

It can't be lack of interest as there are lots of them around, I mean lots have been sold, and when the ipad2 comes out I think that to will sell well.

The only problem that I have with it is this, it's a 32G unit and after I have transfered all my music pictures and apps to it I find that I am left with less than 5G and I have only had it 1 day....

Ipad

I think I have Ipad envy I could have brought one but instead brought a laptop, result is that I hardly use the laptop...

ipad

I see from looking at the internet news that in the USA today the ipad version 1 was on sale for the first time. Now the interesting thing will be just how much an ipad will be in the UK when they decide to sell them here, which is rumoured to be later in April.

I suppose that as normal we here in the UK will get charged more. So I will not hold by breath for the price to be similar to the USA one.

It has made me start to think what would I do now for version or generation 2 of the ipad ? and that's were it can get a bit difficult in just what do you add to a generation 2 device?

So of the things that you can do to9 a generation 2 device are easy in that you can update the operating system to a newer one with more features.

But do you start to add new hardware to your Gen 2 device?

I have been told by many that the Gen 1 ipad is not the right one for me and that a Gen 2 will be better, I have been told that Xmas 2010 is when a Gen 2 ipad is due and that before that a new OS will be realised updating or adding stuff that just was not ready for the launch of the Gen 1 device.

So as long as my itouch keeps working, and I hope it does I can afford to wait until Xmas 2010 to see what is or is not going to turn up.

ipad

i have been looking at what apple have done in the past with the release of new products and it dos not look good.

What I mean is that when the ipod came out e.g gen 1 it had some shortcomings and the software had stuff missing, which in hindsight should have been there from the very start, even the Gen 2 and 3 devices had stuff missing, but by gen 4 its good.

Now I own and ipod touch, and I use it very heavily every day, I keep running out of storage on it, is a 32GB device, I keep finding that I run out of app space even when I have lots of storage space for the programmes, I have seen and used a gen 1 touch and its not very good and is underpowered and stuff that would drive me nuts.

So with all that it stands to reason that Apple will do it again with the ipad, so I am going to wait for the gen 2 ipad which I am told will be out at Xmas 2010, so not long to wait.
