Ok so Im shortly to be the proud owner of an Ipad (64gb no 3G) courtesy of Messieur Peacock, (Im fully expecting it to arrive 1/2 thickness in a custom colour!) I dont own an Iphone and this is my first toe in the water into appleness. The Mrs Iphone 3G will soon be being replaced with a 4 so I might end up with that if I can get the blingy diamante/pink case off it
SO!
Essential Apps/Hints/Tips/Tricks what can I do with the Ipad and Phone together, saw a thing called tethering from phone to Ipad is that doable yet, if I buy apps for the Iphone do they automatically go onto the ipad as well??
Latest software? Best place for the inevitable bundles of genuine accessories I will no doubt be buying, are those keyboard docks anygood in a work environment?

To be honest... the best app for the ipad it safari, 99% of the apps available are gimmicky crap that youll use twice and delete.

They also have a really amateurish youtube channel, but Georgia is hot!

For games
Angry birds
Cut the rope
Fragger
In that order
I bet 'flight control' will be mega on a ipad screen too.

As someone who travels a lot, I think you'll find the iPad invaluable, Dave :happy2:

Get it unlocked and place a sim of choice in it. IOS4 does have support for making the iPhone into one of these but you'll need a suitable tarriff.

That's the older and lesser model Craig. The black one is the baby to have.
You used to be able to get one for sub £50 but without any inclusive data.

iPad 2 Dave? or 1?

So pleased to hear you're so happy with your Apple Cherry, Dave :drinking:
Macs are just machines and their software is just clever code, but the user experience is second to none. You'll have moments of frustration etc but the Mac community is a great one and very helpful like on this GTI forum here.
Apple's own Discussions forum is a good place for help if needed. I was born in MACdom in 1998 - Hey! That makes me a bit too young to be driving a modified GTI.

once you have gone MAC there is no going back :laugh:

Dave... take a look at one of these too! http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_ipod/family/apple_tv?mco=MTM3NTM1Nzk
With that hooked up to your HD TV you can stream music and video (and more i think) from your ipad! :congrats:

Started with an iPhone 4 for me - then went to the MacBook Pro, then the iPad!!!
The hardest part is resisting the yearly updates!!
I tend up update my phone yearly, but wont with the MacBook Pro (too expensive!), and the iPad 2 isnt enough of a development from the 1st iPad for me - still tempting to keep up with the latest kit though, just for the hell of it!
-
I was waiting for the iPad 2 to come out, but now I'm starting to go off the idea with all the rumours of the 3 being out at Christmas! I still have all the Apple gift cards and am now considering splurging them on an Apple TV and some headphones.

Dave if you wanted one of the older MiFi dongles then this one has just come up on HUKD -

I;ve always been a mac fan! Started with an old eMac, then an iBook.
had everyone iPhone released on release day (many hours of sad queueing!!) then now own the new MBA, iPad 2 (Hopefully get the 2!!) and my trusty 4.
As said Mac is just miles ahead, simple designs and everything, I will never buy a PC again

....The trick is not to upgrade to the latest until they are so far ahead that you need to. I'm typing this on an old G4 iMac. I will still be buying the very latest fully loaded 27" iMac to run Logic (music software) at home when my funds allow. 'We' (my co-producer and me) run G5 desktops and a MacBook at his studio. I bought my daughter a new 17" MacBook Pro for uni and she'll need to upgrade it herself if she wants to in the future.
