People with iPads, what do you mostly use them for over a laptop/netbook?

I've never really been interested in the whole tablet craze that's going on.

Just found a potentially cool idea; use an old MiniDisc player as a DAC. This would be better if I could find someone with minidisc player they're getting rid of. It'd only be worth it if it was very cheap, otherwise I'd be annoyed having such a large piece of equipment to deal with (unless I mount it behind/under my desk).

I don't have an iPad but I have a tablet. I use it a lot to keep documents on (around a hundred) , means I don't have to keep finding a computer to print stuff off and I don't have to carry round lots of design codes. As a leisure device, it is nice to be able to slouch on the couch browse the internet

While we've got the thread on the subject of audio, has anybody ever download tracks from Spotify?

Hmm, quite an interesting idea. Would be interesting to see how it performs, especially in comparison to a consumer-oriented external DAC :holmes:

Watching a few MDPs in my area on ebay for around £10-20. I may pick one up. The only thing I'd be able to compare to though would be from using the straight RCA cable from the mobo to the amp (ie onboard DAC vs MDP).

Haha I wasn't saying you should compare them, just that it would be interesting to see how they compared =P was a badly worded post XD

Not eBay, but I saw this a while ago on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Traditional-Hard-Cover-Amazon-Kindle/dp/B004LXHERE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=fiona-hardware&qid=1302361361&sr=1-1

Made the idiot's mistake of installing win8 preview OVER win7. Just backed up everything and currently wiping/installing win 7.

Grr I'm gonna hate the hunt I had to go on to find certain drivers etc that I've since deleted the installers for :frown:

Right. My Dads just got a new SD card for his phone, went to get all the old photos off the card on his computer and it couldn't read it. My laptop can't read it either and I keep getting asked to format it before use. When we put the card back into the phone (Samsung Wave GS8500) it can read it. But again plugging the phone into the computer it can't read the card. And we don't have any other Bluetooth devices to copy the stuff across.

Is there any other way I could dig out the photos from this SD card?

Anybody here have a 2011 27inch iMac? If so, how's it treated you? Also, where/how much did you get it from/for? Considering getting myself one when the next batch are out, might stick with the 2011 batch or go all for the 2012, depending on initial impressions.

Vlad, we know how much you love to gush over your beloved Apple products, but restrain yourself, it just clogs up the thread.

I don't have an iPad. I don't own anything made by Apple. I will never own anything made by Apple.

The only reason I didn't assault the new guy with a Knock Nevis sized helping of sarcasm and vitriol is the fact this was his second post, and it wouldn't be very befitting. :colonhash:
