Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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!
iBattery looks nifty.
That's just a weird place to put the Google contact synching. Why would you separate it from the other Google settings? And put it on the computer not the iDevice?
Thanks for the heads up.
And thanks for the list, LeN. I am majorly jealous that I can't run Netflix on my Android. Damn, that would be nifty. But iPod is good.
Is there any digital reader or digital reader software that turns pages automatically. Yes, I am lazy. Please come feed grapes to me while I recline, reading.
Ideally, I could set the page turn frequency by having it calibrate based off of my past page turns in that book. Kinda like a tap function on a drum machine.
If I had automatic page turning, I could knit and read at the same time.
Is this most recent iTouch/iPhone Apple's first retina display?
Is this most recent iTouch/iPhone Apple's first retina display?
I think so.
Do we know what they're going to use it on next? Is there a schedule for it hitting the laptops?
I mean, I think it's a nifty idea, but it's kinda wasted on that tiny screen.
Loving the shit out of my iTouch. Apple really knows how to make something I like to hold in my hand. I prefer the Android OS, but the thing is beautiful.
I can't wait until my sister gets hers and can Skype with it. I don't know if she'll care about most things, but Skype is her main form of communication.
Do we know what they're going to use it on next?
Rumor has it, the iPad 3. Which is why I'm waiting to buy one.
Using Moore's Law to project when retina displays are coming.
TL;DR:
The longer they stretch out it hitting laptops the better. Mine doesn't remotely need replacing. And I hate that feeling of envy.
I'm still not sure I have an iPad-shaped hole in my life, nor what it would look like. The transitions from iTouch to Android phone to Nook to laptop seem to fill all my tech gaps. But it is really pretty.
eta: Interesting, Tom. Thanks.
iPad-sized displays: Christmas 2013
OH NOES!
I've heard rumors the iPad 3 will come out this fall.
Also, I'll probably buy a new MacBook Pro as soon as it has a retina display. My current one is almost two years old. Or maybe I'll buy one next year, as the new ones are so much faster with the Sandy Bridge processor.

Oh hell no. They won't do a 6-month cycle -- the iPad 2 will still be in full swing for school year + holidays at that point, and anyway the 1-year refresh is very very established for all of their device product lines by now. (But I do continue to love the Apple rumor mill, which more or less seems to run on nothing more substantial than unicorn farts and mashable saying "I wanna pony! HEY GUYS! STEVE IS GONNA RELEASE A PONY!!")
