1. I couldn't have turned that down. Could have tried it for a month and sold it on for the same price if you didn't fancy it. It's a massively fun piece of kit.
  2. True about selling it on. My girlfriend has the same model and doesn't use it much but she lives away from home these days because of work. I'd like a tablet to take on the train and to replace my laptop for general stuff around the house. Short on money at the moment so I had to pass up the opportunity. The iPad is pretty much untouchable in the market, sure there are great alternatives but I don't think anything is as solid as an iPad.

    Sharing an iPad would be a nightmare. "Can you just type your password in? I need to update an app, that you downloaded."
  3. The password thing is a nightmare. I've started to regret not getting a 3G model. I can tether from my mobile but that usually wrecks the phones battery. I'm still waiting on the novelty to wear off. I haven't been near my pc since I bought it either which is a sign of how good it is.
  4. Yeah, my girlfriend's laptop soon started collecting dust. That's what I'm hoping for. I'd much rather be typing this off an iPad rather than my phone. And I'd rather use an iPad for entertainment purposes than my laptop.

    When I get a bit more money (when my brother pays me back) I'll probably bag myself one. iPad 2 is much sweeter, but it still carries a price tag.
  5. £289 for a refurb from apple is about the best it gets for a 2. It is a lot but you will get your money's worth. Have ordered a cover and it better hurry up. One drop and this thing is a goner.
  6. Isn't it sturdy enough to stand a few drops and scratches? The iPod Touch has proven itself to be a damn tough piece of shit, it's drop off my hands onto concrete floors a good bunch of times and it's still mint.
  7. I, for one, live in a world where scratches and dents are unacceptable on my shiny pieces of gadget goodness. That said, I'm not a fan of protective covers. So I adapt to become ultra careful when handling my prized possessions.

    I always have a go at people who do not take care of their devices. Really annoys me
  8. Holding a slippery piece of metal ain't the easiest thing in the world when you've had 4 Guinness
  9. just tested out my Zoom H4next audio recorder for the 1st time playing some drums, it did very well.
  10. Are you planning to join the tapers world, Andrew? That recorder is a great gizmo
  11. Haha nah i bought it to record my jam sessions, but id probably take it to a U2 concert next time they come, should be able to get a nice 4.5 star recording.

    I doubt it. Its internal microphones are good but no near as good to give you more than a 3 or 3.5 (depending on your location) stars recording. To improve that, you have to get a pair of external mics and a power source for them. Give this a look: http://www.u2start.com/topic/by-post/463208/ (the recorder is a Zoom Q3HD, the little brother of your gizmo).
