Re: iPad
Really enjoying using one. Particularly like the digitised mags, which will reduce the amount of paper I need to recycle 
Overall very impressed, only things I'd like to see in the next iteration are
Higher resolution screen, wifi synching
Only game that's grabbed much of my time so far is Dungeon Hunter HD

Re: iPad
Without backgrounder I'd be really disappointed with this browser as if you quit and then go back to the browser it has to reload all the tabs.

"✔ MULTI-TOUCH GESTURES
Perfect browser supports gesture recognition.
- Swipe left with two fingers to switch to a previous tab
- Swipe right with two fingers to switch to the next tab"
and apparently"✔ CRASH RESISTANT
Perfect Browser is totally IMMUNE to crashes or quitting. "
Luckily you can set individual cases up with backgrounder so that it can be set to always run backgrounded and will thus act more like Safari in this respect.

Loving my pad here 
Also I guess I must be getting old but I just downloaded, played and enjoyed Bowl-o-matic HD
It's a lawn bowling game. An online mode with chat would be ace but hey its free.

I'm going to give this one a go (£9.99 delivered)...

Claims to be in the UK and is a lot cheaper for this item than anywhere else I've seen even coming in from HK.
Re: iPad
Whereas Apple's UI is normally exemplary I just had an example of it being comically bad
.
It seems the CC assigned to my iTunes account expired. I wasn't actually buying anything, just noticed that a few apps wanted to send updates, so I went into the app store and said update all.
Asked to enter password as usual, then it goes absolutely crazy sending me loads of message boxes telling me I have to log in and view billing details. As soon as I dismiss one another one pops up. Never mind that I'm not actually buying anything and just want to update the apps I already own, it absolutely will not do anything until I look at the damned billing information.
So I go to look at the billing information and it requires my password again. And again. And again. It just keeps sending password entry boxes even though I'm logged in and the relevant info page is showing.
It looks like it's trying to go through the login process for each app that wants to update, and hasn't the wit to recognise that a login is already in progress, so it just keeps sending out loads of duplicate dialog boxes one after the other.
Which is a bit rubbish really
And anyway why does it need valid CC details so urgently when I'm not actually buying anything?
App store needs a bit of work I guess

Ordered a-frame from cancom and the griffin elan cover from carphone warehouse, bizarrely £15 cheaper online and I get to collect from my local store

Re: iPad
I went and had a play with the iPads again in the local Apple Store today. I really want to like them but for some reason they're just not giving me the horn enough to drop £500-600 on one
