Title: iPad App's and Cases.....
Post by: MattPoss on December 25, 2010, 05:08:47 pm
Evening all and Merry Christmas, hope everyone has had a good day :santa:

Much to my surprise, one of my presents today was an iPad, wasn't expecting it at all! Now i'm after a bit of advice about some decent app's and a good case. Ideally looking for a flip over case (Genuine Apple or something else)?!

I've already got the iPhone 4 so have some decent app's but i'd like some more iPad specific app's so they appear full screen.

Also, what has everyone done about insuring it (if anyone has bothered)?!

Cheers :happy2:,
Matt

Well i've just ordered a Zagg Invisible Shield for the front and back (very impressed with the one on my iPhone 4) and a Genuine Apple Case.

Also downloaded a few of the app's mentioned including PVW and EVO magazine so thanks for that :happy2:

Now I just need to sort out a Sim Card for the 3G!

Cheers,
Matt

For free 3g use anywhere, if you have an iphone and a bundle with loads of data usage just download an app called mywi and it allows you to create a wireless hotspot using the iphone as a 3g scource.

I do this regularly and have never gone over the data limits, or even come close to it.

Just as fast and reliable as using a 3g enabled ipad but without the initial purchase cost and ongoing monthly charges.

PDT... im guessing that mywi is for jailbroken phones only?

Yeh me too PDt. I've never needed a 3G contract. Just use mywi on the rare occasion I'm not near wifi

Probably. Try and find the app and give it a go.

I had a look for the mywi app and it's only for jail broken phones I think!

I'm wanting to download the MotoGP Live Timing app but if I download the iPad version so it's full screen on there, will it work ok on my iPhone?! Just want to double check before spending £12 odd.

Cheers :happy2:

If the app is compatible with both the iPad and the iPhone, it will have a little + icon next to the buy button.
If not then its either iphone or ipad, and wont work across both.

If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch and get an iPad, do you have to buy apps a second time to put them on there as well?
