Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
What ND said, with the added note that Pandora was specifically the app they used to demo multitasking, so it's pretty certain it'll be there.
My plan is to wait for the OS upgrade and see where things stand then wrt app availability and etc. I tell myself this is "prudence" and "saving" and "not getting version 1 of something new" and other such smrt-sounding stuff, but in fact it's "I don't even know yet if I'm going to fencing nationals and how the fuck much it's going to cost and wtf is up with the broken air conditioner anyway". Still, though, I lurve the iPad and I lurve the iPad + Evernote combo even more and if it weren't for the stinkin' AC I'd probably buy one one the way home.
The rumor about Directv & Tivo getting back in bed together has been out there so long that I need to have the product in my hands before I consider it anything other than vaporware. But until then you can pry my old directivo out of my cold dead hands.
Well. My phone used to send my cellphone photos as jpg attachments. Now, I'm getting them as html documents, I guess embedded in the email. Maybe Virgin changed their policy; I didn't change any settings. Frick. This may be the annoyance catalyst that finally gets me to the Verizon store down the street for a Droid.
I finally pulled the trigger and just ordered the new Tivo. Mine is over 6 years old and the hard drive is so tiny. Anyone else have a Tivo Premier? Any opinions?
Suzi, you wanna sell your old one?
I've decided to bite the bullet and get a portable GPS dealie (even if I only use it three times a year, it's better than getting lost, and they're *so* cheap these days).
I've only ever used Garmin in the past, and I like them, but TomTom has Star Wars voices. So I'm torn.
Zenkitty - I really haven't decided yet. I might pass it on to Kelly if she wants it. If not, I'll let you know. It does have lifetime programming - is that transferable? I need to look into that.
Jessica, we've had good results both with Magellan Roadmates and TomToms. The only thing I'd recommend is spending a little more and getting one with lifetime map updates.
The C3P0 voice will probably be pretty entertaining.
Anyone else have a Tivo Premier? Any opinions?
The new OS feels like a work in progress to me. Sometimes I get the old screens and sometimes I get the new ones, with little rhyme or reason to it. But if you didn't previously have an HD Tivo, then you'll love it regardless.
