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.

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

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.

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

I like the Cloud function - I've just started using it, but my folks got me a Canon IXUS 220 HS for my birthday, which is a nice size for taking with me on my weekly London trips or days out, in case I want a better quality snapshot of something. Plus, an excuse to buy more gadgets!

Thinking about making my lady giving me her 4S and have her taking my 4. Need that better camera in my life.

Just got my first iPhone. Recommend me must have apps. Preferably free one but a small purchase is ok too.

Paypal
Ebay
Shazam
Pandora
HopStop
Yelp
OpenTable
Seamless
Photobucket
BofA
Facebook
Twitter
Tumblr
Intagram
Skype
AIM

JuneCloud (Not Free - But if you like watching your package locations, this is for you!)

[bagley920]

Thanks Lando. I can see how some of those would be helpful in a big city.

Oh yeah sorry. Forgot to take into account where you were located. That was off the top of my head. I will post more when I think of them/ have a second. But don't sleep on JuneCloud!!! Seriously, everyone on this forum should have it. Nothing like seeing "Delivered" on your phone and knowing that you have a Blue Package from IHUK at home waiting for you.
