JawD 99 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I imported my iPad from someone I knew in the US. Basically you can get the items quicker if the release date is much later in the UK like they were, but on cost its not that different. Sure I send him money that saved me about £100 but I had a tax bill from the courier of around £80 before they would release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had expensive items arrive from the states and not had to pay any extra, but then I've had other items (like my watch) and had to pay almost as much (if you include the shipping costs too) as the cost of the item itself! I think if you can get them to state the item is a gift or put a lower value on the customs slip then you'll get away with paying additional charges.

ewerk 30610 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Is the voice thing included in ios5 or is it only on the iphone 4s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44879 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Only on the 4S. Not to get all Android vs iphone, but the most notable changes on ios5 have been available on Androids for years. Even the changes they've made in Safari have been available in 3rd party iphone and ipad browsers for a while. It's like they rely on user ignorance to pass this stuff off as groundbreaking.

MrBass 2651 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ios5 is canny underwhelming. Aye. I tried that location reminders thing out today and, although it worked, it's nowhere near as good as they made it out to be. The locations you can set are limited to an address book entry, your current location, or, in my case, home, work, work or work. Plus, as far as I can tell, you have to set a time for the reminder so the whole, 'when I arrive', 'when I leave' options are pretty pointless. Also, if your reminder is location based, location services is constantly running on the days you set the reminder - obvious when you think about it, but it's a constant drain on your battery especially if your reminder isn't set until the end of the day. Remote sync isn't all it's cracked up to be either. My iTunes showed my iPad under devices, so I clicked Sync, but (I'm assuming) as my iPad wasn't being charged the sync failed and it disappeared from my device list. So now I need to revert to the trusty USB cable to get the fucker back in my devices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
