All Things Mac/ Apple

Loving the new iPad as well. Taking some time to get used to, really not caring for tapatalk hd. The screen is ridiculous though.

This easily replaces my laptop for most use though

I might have to go visit an Apple store to see the new iPad display in person. Gotta see what all the hubbub is about.

Any more reviews. Never owned a iPad. My girl has the 1 or 2 can't remember. I have used it once. Why would I like it better that my laptop? Weight is not and issue at this point. I can easily carry any laptop on the market (worth buying) without being burdened. Just wondering if it is something that I can wait on.

I have the 1 and I would never give up a laptop in favor of an iPad.
iPad is good for consuming, but not producing.

I use the iPad only when I travel or am out in the city for the day. It will never replace my macbook pro or mac pro.

[DougNg]

Agreed, my iPad will never replace my MacBook Pro.

However, I carry my government laptop with me when I travel for work, and I hate traveling with two

It is a better eReader than a MacBook though

I think there will be a day when a slate can replace a laptop completely, but it's not here yet. It's more of a laptop lite. It's more of a convenience thing, really.

You have a Mac Pro?!?

I'm in severe Apple envy right now

Yeah that's what I work on at the house. MacBook pro is for when I'm on set.

I sometimes wish I was a photographer just so I could buy expensive camera and computer shit and write it off on my taxes

Ashton Kutcher to play Steve Jobs in Biopic… BOOOOOOOO!

He's pretty much a doppelgänger for a younger Steve. And other than being kinda douche-y, I can't really think of anyone better. Christian Bale would be a huge stretch. Michael Fassbender could do it, but wouldn't be as whimsical. Viggo Mortensen is too old.

I would like to see Stanley Tucci play the older years, as Gizmodo suggests. I think he'd do really well.

Meh, I dunno.

Anyone got the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit, or a decent alternative? Do they work ok on the iPad one?

[unharmed]

I do. I use it frequently with my iPad 1 to connect my Olympus EP-3

Cool, good to hear. Are you using the latest OS?

[unharmed]

I actually have an update to install so currently still on 5.0.1.

5.1 seems ok on my first generation iPad - at least so far. I'll probably buy the camera kit this week, so I'll post if it works ok on the latest iOS.

[unharmed]

Coolio. The camera connection kit works painlessly IME and has turned out to be a phenomenally useful piece of kit for me.

[michaeljcr]

I bought the iPad camera kit this week and no problems at all reading an SD card on the first generation iPad running the latest iOS. I can't believe I didn't get one of these earlier!

I have to say, I wind up taking more pictures with my 4S than anything else, and Photostream via iCloud is very handy

I take a photo with my iPhone, it's automatically on the iPad->edit/crop via iPhoto->upload to social media

No gizmos or doohickeys to muss with
