Tooj 17 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I think I'm going to get my dad a Nexus 7 for Christmas like. Had a mess around on my mate's one and really liked it and I think it's something he will too. He's on his shite netbook constantly and doesn't really know much about computers, so the Nexus 7 will be perfect for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22200 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I think the larger phones make the value of the Nexus questionable. Id prefer an iPad sized android tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Anybody got any good video converting software from PC to iPad? Ideally one that wirelessly transfers the video whilst it is encoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46691 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) Get AVPlayerHD and you don't need to convert. It plays anything you throw at it. MKVs, the lot. And you can transfer wirelessly, although only one file at a time. Â If you're just gonna be streaming on wireless in the house, get Airplayer.

PaddockLad 17889 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Can anyone tell me the difference between an ipad 2 and an ipad 3?  Had a bit of a result this morning...took up with this accountancy firm recently http://www.brookson.co.uk/recommend-a-friend/ and have taken advantage of their offer of a free 16gb ipad mini for recommending a friend. I fancied a full ipad with 3g, so I was going to put it on ebay or gumtree and pay the difference, until a mate at work suggested I take it to John Lewis to see if theyd give me full price for the mini and I'd pay the difference for an ipad2. So we trundles up to the local JL this morning thinking that theyd never go for it...which tbf, the bloke was very dubious indeed, but he said "let me see if I've got what you want"...so he comes back and said "no ipad 2, but I've got the last ipad 3 in the shop and its been reduced, lets have a see if your mini scans" The ipad 3 was reduced to £404, the full price of the ipad2 would have been £414....the ipad mini sailed through the scanner @ £269, giving me an ipad3 "with cellular" for £135  Were the ipad3's a short lived thing till the retina display ones came out?....would be interested to know...

PaddockLad 17889 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Just looking at this thing this morning...its not 16gb its 32gb! Â I take it the best way to go with the sim card is gifgaff?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17889 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Can anyone recommend a decent app for an iPad by which I may be magically able to watch tonight's UK inter-nation football fest?... it's on at the relatively civil time of 11pm so I thought I'd make the effort.... Think what am after is a browser app which gets round the lack of flash drive on iOS devices? Or is there another way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17889 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Doesn't seem like much of a van if you need a taxi to get anywhere. See, this is what I'd like to do....drive the old jalopy into the city, drink a skinful of their shitty antipodean beer then stagger back for a restful nights kip. However, the current Mrs PL is strongly against this plan, as this is the nearest camp to the city itself, and we'd be almost certainly parked illegally come the morning, having spent the small hours "with inadequate toilet facilities".... I don't know what her problem is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
