should i get an ipad or netbook?




James


Ipad : touch screen : 10 hours battery : greats apps : 16 gb Hard drive : videos music and web browsing are amazing : iphone software 3.1.3 : no flash : no usb sd card slots : fixed 16 gb no external hard drives

Netbook : 2 gb hard drive can be improved with an external hard drive : usb slots : 128 ram : videos music and browsing is not as good as an ipad : flash : sd slots : 3.5 hours battery ,battery life sucks : PC Games : windows ce : keyboard and touchpad :

Bring Ipad to school all ill be the frist student to have one and be cool :)
Bring Netbook to school and for some reason you will get called a nerd :(

What should i get and the ipad and netbooks have alot of features but i dont know all of them
maby for u guys its not cool but for me it is



Answer
Netbooks are totally worthless even if you get free. These are so choppy and sluggish that you cant work on it for long hours.

You gave some positives of iPad and then negatives but those negatives don't exist :

No flash: You can run Netflix,Hulu,all the online video from Websites like Disney,ESPN,CBS,ABC,FOX NEWS,WHITEHOUSE.GOV and all others.

How is not having flash a drawback?

No external Drive: Cloud storage is future so it's right time to get into habit of using it and iPad is perfect for that. It has apps like Dropbox,Box.net that integrates with other apps so, all the email attachment,songs,videos can be save to these apps with one tap.And you won't be using any on device space. If you are going out of wi fi range,just bring selected item to device,after use send them back to cloud.On computer it's complicated , but on iPad it's as easy as playing iPod.

No USB SD CARD SLOT: Camera connection kit is available just for $29. Get it and connect any camera AND SD CARD directly to iPad. You can connect many other peripherals like USB HUB ,USB KEYBOARD.

NETBOOKS:Performance doesn't depend on the capacity only , it depends on ratio of load and capacity. iPad has less powerful processor but it's doesn't have load. It has iOS4 OS which is light but very functional. .Net books are actually nothing but cheap laptops they do not fall under new category because besides being cheap and sluggish they have nothing different from laptop. That's the reason Netbooms failed miserably.

1million of ipads are selling every 27 days just in US which is incredible.

PC games sucks on Netbooks. I own Toshiba Satellite Netbook and iPad both so I am in position to give hands on experience.It's just not possible to work on Netbooks.

Go to Bestbuy, play a movie via NETFLIX ON Netbook and iPad side by side, you will stark difference in video quality.iPad will blow any Netbook out of water.

Create a document on Netbook and then do the same thing on iPad and see which one is better and easier. I like iPad to the extent that I advice people if you have powerful Desktop then don't get laptop,get iPad instead.

Netbook is good for even nerds.Nerds will go mostly for Notebooks but research says Harvard university's Internet got clogged on the next day of iPad release. So you can imagine brightest brain are also in love with iPad.

And yes iPad is cool. A tailor in New York made fortune just by creating a big pocket inside of suit to fit iPad.He is not taking any order now because he is booked till end of 2011.

It always happens to premium product like Armani , Apple,American Eagle people who don't use them start criticizing but the actual users are so happy.

Gizmodo website is crying do not buy iPhone 4 it has signal problem, result is 3 million iPhone sold in three weeks which is spectacular and it broke all the records.

MOre Ipod Touch Apps questions?




moomoomons


Alright so I still haven't had time to go get the Ipod Touch yet but I have some more questions before I go get it.

1) If I get an app from my Ipod touch, will the app appear on the computer my ipod is synced with?
2) Same question but will it do that If I buy a MOVIE from my Ipod touch?
3)Is there a way to log off the account you're in when you get into Itunes?(top right hand corner)
4) if there is, Is there a way to get music from my dads account to a new account?( I currently use mi padres)
5) What does it mean to "Jail Break" an Ipod Touch?
6) Should I do it to my touch when I get it?
7) is there a way to burn DVD's onto ITunes using a windows vista software?



Answer
1. Yes. it should sync to your libary automatically.
2. Yes, but this time, you will have to connect the ipod, and go to file>transfer purchases from "your ipod's name". then it will be in your library.
3. yes, i beleive that you click the little white triangle on the left, and click logout. if you are the only user of that computer, or you trust the other people who may use the same windows account, there is not really a big reason to log out.
4. get a usb and copy and paste the files onto your account from his. you may need and external hard drive, depending on the amount of files you are transferring. if these are songs purchased on his account, he will have the enter his password to allow you to have them, once they are in your iTunes. he will have to enter it once, and then thay are yours.
5. jailbreaking is when you install a file onto the touch that lets you install 3rd party apps (apps that apple doesnt sell), and you can potentially get free apple apps (which is illegal, i believe)
jailbreaking isnt illegal, but getting those free apple apps is. i have not jailbroken, but here is some info on how you can do it: http://gizmodo.com/5533921/how-to-jailbreak-any-iphone-ipod-touch-or-ipad

6. not right when you do it. see what things you can do, and if you want more, then consider. but be cautious, it's not guaranteed to work, and may permanantly do damage to your device.
7. yes, but anything that does that is illegal. not using vista itself, but by downloading a dvd ripping software. again, if you wish to do this, be cautious. you could buy a movie off iTunes for $10, or possible pay millions in fines. just be careful, and think and stuff.

Can I use my Zune as an external hard drive?




Mihogan


Ok, I asked this question recently, but I didnt get any good answers, so I'm trying again.

Anyway, heres what I want to know. Could I use my Zune as an external hard drive? I want to be able to use it to back up all of my music onto. I am doing this just in case my computer crashses (again). However, I am not sure which of the following would happen after my computer crashes:

1. I plug in my zune, use the hack to allow me to see it as a hard drive in Windows Explorer, and then I can copy the music in my zune and paste it back onto my computer.

OR

2. I plug in my zune. The software loads up, and it automatically starts to update my library (My library at this time would be empty, because my computer would have recently crashed, and therefore the Zune would update in accordance with my computer, deleting all the music on my Zune.

Which would happen? I'm hoping Number 1


Also, a side question. Not required unless you know the absolute answer. If I did the hack (like the one shown in this link: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/portable-media/how-to-use-the-zune-as-a-hard-drive-217024.php ) BEFORE MY COMPUTER CRASHED, would it still work AFTER my computer crashes? Or would i have to re do it?


P.S. When I saw "crash" I am also referring to things like restoring my computer to the earliest possible time. Thanks in advance and sorry for any confusion with this question



Answer
Make your backup using the Zune software, then if your PC crashes the Zune software can be used to copy the music back to your PC. You don't need to use the hack if its just for music.

Is This still possible on the New Dell Mini 10v?




Cowboybebo


I was wondering if I can still do this http://gizmodo.com/5389166/how-to-hackintosh-a-dell-mini-10v-into-the-ultimate-os-x-netbook

On the newest dell mini 10v's I have already prepared an external hard drive with my osx leopard install disk and it's ready to go but I am not getting my 10v till christmas. Am I going to be able to do this still in December or have there been updates that block such hackintoshing



Answer
Setting aside the fact that this is illegal, Apple has disabled Intel Atom support since they don't make any products with the Atom processor.

is my slimline s3100y series good enough for command and conquer 3?

best external hard drive gizmodo on Time Capsule Review: Smooth Sailing, No Surprises
best external hard drive gizmodo image



rrfe05


the only thing i changed about it was the graphics [ 128mb geforce 8300 ] but i am not 100% sure about the processor some have told me that it is but i just need some good help. thanks


Answer
The slimline series was a very bad choice for gaming as it does not take standard height video cards; HP only recommends video cards that use 25 watts or less (2.08 amps or less at 12 volts); and it only has a 180 watt power supply.

8300 video card, never heard of it.

per
http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do;HHOJSID=W2jhGGxKnfKYJ3BWJB4vlsbvB2FTkvn2yjqTyxwh2NnZhlty1gmr!-274703781?storeName=computer_store&category=desktops&series_name=s3100y_series&tab_switch=true&catLevel=3&tab=specs
Power supply rating 180 watts

Per HP
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00877796.pdf
Due to the small computer size, you can only install a small, low-profile PCI-E card of the same approximate size of the graphics card. HP recommends that you install a card with power consumption of 25 watts or less. Not all low-profile cards will fit into the PCI-E slot. Some external connectors, especially connectors located at the top of the card, may not fit properly into the back panel.

180 watt power supply, 25 watts maximum card power consumption, and half height card
This rules out any decent card for gaming

If this was a full height card and the watts were not limited I would recommend the following card or faster.

8600 GTS $155
About half the speed of the 8800Ultra.
