Boating with an iPad...

As with most devices of this type, the color screen simply washes out to invisibility in sunlight. That being said, the device is a nice, small, very light "computer" to have on board, especially when in a case like this one: http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zagg...-keyboard-case It works with wi-fi when available, or on the same networks as any "smart" cell phone. The screen is very bright and usable "indoors," and the Zagg keyboard is easy to use, even for someone with clunky fingers like mine. On the boat, I mostly use the device to find venues and services at the various places we visit…museums, restaurants, et cetera. But it also works as a media server, and movies on its display are very "watchable." The sound output, though, is not that powerful, so you either have to use earbuds or plug into an external speaker. Most of the apps available for the iPhone are also available for the iPad, usually in versions scaled for the latter's larger screen. There are quite a few apps available for boaters…one of my favorites is "Knots 3D," which, as the name implies, presents good animations for tying all manner of…knots. There are also navigation apps, weather apps, fishing apps, just what you'd expect. My guess is that there are about 100 boating-related apps. Obviously, a decent laptop computer is more utilitarian than an iPad, but...for simple convenience, portability, et cetera, I like the iPad better than the laptop I used to use. I absolutely love my iPad, it is definitely one of the most convenient things to have. There is so much you can do with it that it's ridiculous!!! What's ridiculous is watching some idiot trying to take pictures of Graduation with one. The guy was holding it up like a frekin' wide screen, the folks behind him were not impressed with the screen resolution between them and the speaker... |

Here's the proof: "It works with wi-fi when available, or on the same networks as any "smart" cell phone." Any tablet, iPad included, with wireless capability works on only ONE network and the iPad can only work on AT&T or Verizon. Wrong, JustHateClone. iPads are sold all around the world, and work on non-wi-fi networks that are not Verizon or AT&T. Further, you can change the SIM card in a US-released AT&T ipad to a European SIM card. Oh, and iPads will soon be avaliable for other networks in the USA, just as the new iPhone now is. In fact, I recently read that iPads for the SPRINT network will be available shortly. So, "Earl," if you need a shoehorn to work your head out of your ass, why, just borrow one from one of the other right-wing turds here. Oh, and my iPhone is unlocked, which means when I travel to Europe, I simply pop in a SIM card from a European services provider. Dance all you want, you posted bad information. |

Is there any limit to the ignorance these clown flaunt on a daily basis? I used to think there were limits to their ignorance, but JustSnot proved me wrong. It's so easy for you to overlook gems like this "these clown flaunt". This moron should be an embarrassment to you. Says the big sister of the most criminally insane poster in rec.boats history. That's not a complete sentence. Adding the word "So" to the beginning would have made you look a little less stupid. |

He's just a pussy. Can't spell, never probably had to. Guessing, he was the baby of the house... "never probably had to" ?? There are so many "funny-odd" characteristics about JustSnotty, and comments about the spelling or grammar of others are among them. I wonder if he suffers from anosognosia. |

After I saw how much "i" things take ahold of your computer, your iPod, your money, etc. I gave the iPod away, cancelled my account and will NEVER own another Apple product. |

Most of those countries have their own telco and internet service providers and cable companies and the like. These iPads are for the most part not using AT&T or Verizon networks for data when they are not hooked up to WiFi. My iPad has non wi-fi network capability (I bought it that way), but I have not yet signed up for network services with my carrier because to date I've not had any need for it. Just about anywhere I go with the iPad has WiFi available and the one time it wasn't, I used another option. iPhone also are sold around the world. I have an iPad and an iPhone. My iPhone was "unlocked" by my US carrier so that when I go overseas, I can simply buy and pop in a SIM card from there and take advantage of "local" wireless telco rates. My wife and I have had our own iPods since about 2003. We both use iTunes, me on a Mac and she on a Windows PC. Neither of us have noticed iTunes taking over or "ahold" of anything on our computers. iTunes does indeed manage the iPod, but there are many alternative software packages out there that also control iPods. iTunes is also the way Apple wants iPhones and iPads managed. I haven't noticed iTunes taking "ahold" of my computer when I use it to manage my other portable Apple devices. As far as "money" goes, iTunes collects your money for Apple and its partners when you want to buy software or other media through the iTunes store. It certainly doesn't take "ahold" of your money for any other reason. I think iTunes is adequate but no more for its intended purposes. The conclusion here is the same as always: you simply don't know what you are talking about. |
