Yeah no worries. I have been charging my iphone 3GS through that only and my PC. No wall charger :P

anyhow its 4400mAh capacity so its the best and cheapest. Other stuff i checked are so overrated and read really bad reviews.

It's like an iphone unjailbroken. Completely waste of money. The touch is the same feeling like the iphone.

It lacks flash player again, and one app can be run. Seriously? apple needs to stop restricting its consumers on its capabilities.

I prefer buying this instead http://www.archos.com/products/nb/archo ... hu&lang=en

which is 500euro for a 60gb version. Worths much more.

I will only ever think of buying that ipad if only it gets jailbroken and you can tweak its interface. Other than that its only goes straight to the drawer as it will get boring in only a few days.


in theory yes it has the same os and it is as many people have called it a big version of the ipod touch because it has no camera..etc but it has 1Ghz processor and they enabled more functions that where disabled in the other versions of ipod and iphone.. i am guessing we will see something similar in june for the next iphone but the specs are the same as the google phone..

for me the ipad i dont think it will do but i hope to try it out soon. i might like it up close, but i am certain i will buy the iphone and a imac or macbook pro,

btw they do hack devices very quickly your right but the iphone 3g took months the 3gs not so long. so we have to wait and see what hardware the phone has and how easy or hard it will be to hack. but the dev team are very good and geohot whatever the guys name is. but as long as they will cripple function and limit the iphone there will always be a need for jailbreak, it opens the phones wings, the phone is very good before but even better after


nope no extra functions go check in youtube. Here you go:

I actually watched the whole thing hopefully to show something new. Theres absolutly nothing. Really disapointed at Apple.

Oh and their excuse for working so hard on it? They had to rewrite all of the applications to work with this. Jesus do they actually take most consumers for granted that they are stupid?


you can use background pictures for one.. and on the ipod or iphone you cant do that without jailbreak its only the black background..... the bigger screen makes it easier to use the touch screen only keyboard you can attach a keyboard if you really want it has 1GHz processor up to 64gb drive you can chose between 3g or both i would have wifi only personally.. bigger for watching movies and easier to do the things you would on the iphone..

there is plenty they have added.. much like the move from iphone 3g to 3gs basically had no extras

oh yes i forgot to mention you can use ilife on ipad which is very handy you can take it into college and use that instead of taking notes with the pen

Wouldn't know what to do with those sorts of specs. Most of what I do is web-browsing, word process. with a small bit of other work.

... and we've got three imacs already, one's getting on now but still does good work so wanted something different.

Can add an external monitor if we wanted a bigger screen.

yes seems a good way to approach things. they are so diff from pcs. find pcs very frustrating. worked on one for an hour yesterday and did my head in.

... but they are so different palio. can't you borrow one for an hour or two to try out mac os? cos you'll either love it or hate it.
