Shocked

Nice boss! I wish my boss would give me an iPad lol Razz

There must be an answer to this somewhere in this forum. Im sure it has been asked.

Found it: http://www.nfohump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67498

Id go with the Angry Birds games, Infinity Blade, Rage, Superbrothers Sword and Sworcery EP, Dead Space, Sacred Odyssey, Order of Chaos if you like WoW; that must be good on iPad. Words with Friends is one I play a lot but wont appeal if you dont like Scrabble Razz

Just a heads up the new version of pkgbackup now backs up all itunes store apps saved data. So that means it will back up game saves. So no more losing all your saves on games gotten other places than itunes. Very Happy

Yeah it is expensive, but worth it in my opinion. I used the hacked version for a long time and it never really worked right. I updated to 4.3.3 after I bought it and it restored everything perfectly even my hacked cydia apps. So to me it's worth the 8 bucks to not have to worry about my shit being restored correctly.

not sure myself what I should do...

definitely upgrading my iphone for a samsung galaxy s2 at the end of the year when I'm due for an upgrade, and I also wanted to get either an eeepad for $400 or a galaxy tab 10.1 (or 8.9).

but I still want access to iOS apps... better to have similar phone/tab to share apps between, or is it to dumb down the tablet and get an iPad instead of an Android tablet. No way would I do phone + tablet + iPod....

nobody else balancing multiple iOS vs. Android devices? Sad

if i would have to chose between two options, I would take android phone and ipad

too bad there is no direct compeition to ipad..would be kinda cool to other companies release tablets with iOS but that probably will never happen

http://blog.gsmarena.com/we-put-the-motorola-xoom-display-through-its-paces-and-pit-it-vs-the-ipad-2/#more-14234
only thing I hate about ipad2 is no microsd slot AND shitty camera

and samsung galaxy s2 looks good...

I guess one of my issues is that I would never have movies on the internal memory... seems a lot easier if you have an SD card/usb stick instead of having to deal with itunes every day that you wanted to watch something different.

then again, even time I need a computer to view a movie is when I'm away on work and then I already have a laptop anyways... I guess I'm not even sure I need a tablet besides for shits and giggles..

SD cards are shit for movies, esp. 720p and 1080p, for the mere fact that they are formatted in FAT32, which has a max. file size of 4GB. Laughing
So you have to split files, or find some dodgy ext2/3 in SD support, and then use various tools to actually write something to that SD in Windows.

There's a kernel driver for Ext3 last I checked, and Android at least handles SD cards formatted with Ext3 just fine; it prefers it in fact (obviously).

Are you sure that all Android phones support that? I was looking into Galaxy S II, and saw that some major work was needed to allow support for ext2/3 formatted SD card, Which is retarded if you think about it, because the internal partitions are already in ext2 (and new roms will be ext3).

And still, to see and/or write to that card, you will need extra tools in Windows. I don't understand why they don't have support for exFat.

Install, problem solved. Just like normal drives Smile

Don't have it installed myself atm, but I did a while back on my laptop, and it worked fine for me on an Ext3 formatted FS (and if you read the FAQ: it actually mounts Ext3 as Ext2, only means you lose the journaling).

And I'm pretty sure Ext 2 works (should be, it's a standard Linux kernel feature), I'll give it a try later if I can find an empty mSD somewhere. I wouldn't recommend Ext 3, wears out the Flash memory too quickly Razz

Does anyone know of a (permanent) way of increasing the Home Screen limit? Right now it's locked at 180 apps (basically 11 pages) and that's just... meh... insufficient!! Very Happy Thanks =)

I'd rather keep the standard icons, if it's all the same. I've seen the "Voice Memo" glitch, but you lose the pages whenever you sync with iTunes. There HAS to be a jailbreak option/app that increases the page limit, there just has to be.

Yeah ios5 looks nifty. The music match service is very interesting to. If it works with my rather massive and "mostly" legal collection I would pay 25 bucks a year. To bad about no hardware surprise looks like I get to wait a few months for a new phone. Sad

how so? you can pretty much change folders to resemble anything you want... (mine are transparent so you can see the background with a background when you open it to match my actual background ... you don't even need to show the little icons inside the folder... not to mention infinifolders is awesome Smile) I only use a single screen on mine with infiniboard so I can scroll vertically on the screen.

iOS is after all just an app drawer so no use pretending it's not!

The folders on mine are ugly black boxes with two+ tiny little, indistinguishable, icons inside them. THAT, to me, is ugly. I'd rather have all my apps displayed properly Wink
