iPad

(Probably sticking with one thread is best.)

Well we could always merge them all into one iPad thread if that makes life easier for peeps to follow..

I think its fine the way it is - with an app thread, this one and the iPad mini and the iPad 2 - to be honest if Apple are going to be upgrading iPads 6 monthly this entire forum will be overflowing with the bloody things soon...

Dont normally sing Sony's praise but a clever idea allowing you to charge a phone off their new tablet - I think an idea that Apple and Samsung should pinch pronto

I wonder if you could charge an iPhone using the camera connection kit and an iPad...

[Wudzi]

It doesn't charge it, but you can pull off photos.

Sod that messing round with cables use Phiotosync

Must recommend this for iphone and ipad if you're jailbroken

After crashing multiple times just trying to comment on Facebook last night, and this morning finding out that Warhammer Quest, which I have been waiting for supports >= IOS6 my ipad1 is awfully close to ending up in a bin

The problem is, I have arguments for going 7", or 9" Android, but plenty to keep me in Apples camp, but I really don't fancy forking out almost half a grand to get 32gb storage on an ipad4

At least if I do retire the ipad1 it's jailbroken so I can stick it in an icade and just use it for my llamasoft collection and some emulation, it won't be completely useless (at the moment it does an arguably better job than any 7" tablet in reading scanned magazines, but any replacement that is 1080p+ will render that usage redundant)

You have tried a full wipe and restore ?

To be fair, the iPad 1 was the first 'proper' tablet of the new wave and is over 3 years old now. So in terms of tablets it's pretty ancient. The industry has moved fast since then, so it's not really surprising it can't cope with some of the new stuff coming out.

I would think (hope) a 3 year old iPad 4 should do a lot better though as the pace of change seems to be slowing a bit.

My hubby is still using a iPhone 3g which I believe is now 5 years old - Its useable but christ is it slow and stuck on iOS 4 too

[random_dave]

It was moving to IOS5 that killed it, on 4.3 it was pretty happy, but there were things that i wanted to do that required 5, and that seems to have left it with what must be about 20mb free ram, which with websites getting ever more fancy looking just leaves it bombing out of apps left right and centre

When looking at iPads the measly amount of ram they put in them definitly concerns me, and puts me off them

[Deckard]

Is it possible to JB it and go back to iOS4 ?

[random_dave]

Possibly, but I'm fairly sure that to keep being able to watch live F1 with Sky Sports News/Sky Go i need to be on IOS 5
