I'll take weekdays, I know you work so you'll want to see it on weekends.

Just don't bring fucking Frank with you when you pick it up, ok? I fucking hate seeing him.

What do you expect me to do? He's my BROTHER

And here I was hoping to get some info for the European launch. :(

Damn you Apple! What is taking so long?
I really hope they will give us iBooks for launch. But I know we will be getting screwed over... again.

I havent used anything that sits my iPad at a low angle, so thats not really a priority for me on any case.

I pretty much just sit crisscross all the time and lay it across my lap

Omnigraffle for fifty smackers. Yeah, maybe something else will come out.

I can vouch for the quality of omni graph sketcher, though. The ui and customization abilities are great.

Wow omnigraffle is exactly what I am looking for, I wish they had a free limited version to try it out.

well, found some more by searching under “vector”

SketchPad 6 dollars

Freeform 5 dollars but I don’t see text support. hmm

Crayons 5 dollars

Intaglio Sketchpad 15 dollars universal app.

not sure if any of these have proper layout and ruler tools for quick pro work, but they are certainly cheaper than omnigraffle.

Don't be. That hasn't been necessary for lithium ion batteries for a long time. Charge when you want. depletion isn't needed.

Thanks.. Gadget crazy as I am, I get always confused on one :)
 
Fuck, just ordered a 16GB through eBay. I have no self control. $605 US shipped isn't bad though considering it should match the Canadian price with tax.

Seller had 100% feedback but had not made a transaction in a year. Hopefully paypal protection has me covered if anything goes wrong.

EDIT: Did the Canadian dollar hit the shitter at some point today? Came out to 622 CND? The fuck, we were practically at parity this morning.

Keep us posted on what you end up paying in DUty fees. LC paid 90$. I'm wondering if it's consistant.

I've never had to pay Duty Fees on eBay purchases from the states. Although I might ask him to mark this as "gift" since it is a high priced product and they might be looking out for it.

Just sprung for Mockup on the app store. Will post impressions ASAP.

you is crazy Dr. Simply crazeee.

I had to own it. And getting it for a similar price as I would in Canada seems worth it. God, I hope I don't get hit with that duty shit. :(

That 90 also included duties on the 40 dollar case


Also, John de lancie makes a striking figure these days. Good to know that there is some human technology that can still impress Q.

Think I'm gonna take the plunge on Sam and max now that the price has dropped.

Anyone know if the MLB at bat app has been fixed yet?

Does 1password on the iPad not allow you to directly launch the webpage and fill in the credentials automatically anymore?

The webpage has the little arrow which would imply you can click it...but nothing.

Total fail!

Same bug as before. You need to switch games around before it'll update.

And audio is well behind the stat page once it starts working, making the feed stupid and anticlimactic.

Edit: worked for me earlier, rubx. Was able to log into to gaf and one other site as a test within the built in browser

According to XE.com, $1 CAD = $1.00056 USD, so we're essentially at parity. But it is important to remember that exchange rates on PayPal and credit cards aren't live calculations.

Are you using 1Password for iPad or 1Password Pro?

This is me using the Pro version that was just updated and I can't actually launch pages :(

Yeah, seems like they just rushed an iPad optimized version out to be on the store. A bunch of things missing.

Not an asshole.

he's incredible in breaking bad!

also, Mockup for iPad is not as intuitive as the trailer made it look. With work though, it could easily become a very serious design app.
 
You iPad fans probably all know about this but its new to me - I had previously bemoaned the lack of iPod playback and volume controls when browsing in Safari or using other apps and just found out that those controls are always available.

Just double-tap on the iPad button, and if you have double-tap set to iPod, it'll bring up playback and volume controls as well as a button to go straight into the iPod app.

Nice. :D

If you'd read my iPhone thread you'd have known that!

I'm also using the pro version that was updated into a universal app. Seems to work like the iphone version for me

Can one of you iPad owners try something for me?

Go to http://www.reddit.com
Find a submission that goes to a youtube video (usually several on the front page).
Click on the button just under the title that has a play icon and a plus.
Click on the video.

Does it play in the browser using html5?

It plays embedded in the reddit page as an h.264 video. Just pops out underneath the submission.
