have any off you lads got a ipad. the thing is my dad has won a white 16gb ipad wifi. i was going to buy it off him but i was just wondering what kind off stuff i could do on it? Are they any good i was going to pay £300 whats peoples thoughts cheers? i have never even looked at an iphone but i could imagine these will be very similar but not be able to make calls. people talk about jail break are something? do i need to wire that to a computer to put songs or films etc on or pay for it? the reason im asking is because i dont want to open it then decide i dont want it! all help will be appreciated cheers in advance.

You can make calls on the ipad3, its called face time, i was set in my ways for years, only ever had Nokias, everyone was saying how good the iphone was, best phone i've ever had, i also recommend the ipad3, i'm fairly sure they were something like £700 when they came out? So a 3er sounds reasonable. Great bit of kit!

Just get an iPhone instead!
The wifi only iPads are cheaper cos they don't use 3G.
Scott - It doesn't mention in titch's first post it is in an iPad 3! Sounds like a standard one to me and if it's wifi only then £300 is not cheap.

Totally agree, maybe something like a 1er sounds about right for the first ipad?

Seems a bit cheap but, few from Norwich on here, maybe a pick up and cash on collection? Feedback low and account not used in a while.

None had sold when I spotted it at half 8, 2 now gone.

As with all tech titch m8 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ask yourself ,,,,,,''what do i want this thing to do for me ? and will i consistently use it for this purpose ?'' ,,,,,,,,,,,, because anything else often turns into an over expensive piece of crap once the the fuck me thats cool novelty period is over.
my phone is a basic 15quid jobby , it phones , texts , and lasts a week on a full charge ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, perfect for me ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i dont want or need the features on a more expensive handset , but can appreciate why others do . ,,,,,,,,,,,,, the same applies to my choice of car
alternatively though i have spent a fortune on my home av setup , but some people are just as happy with their 14 inch portable alba jobby etc .
so go on ,,,,,,,,, ask yourself the above , before any expensive rash decision

The iPhone maps, coupled with Yell has helped me find hundreds of locations I never knew existed. It's paid for itself many times over. I know the battery is shit, but always have a charger with you in the car and it's fine.

I've googled so many pubs/arcs/bowling alleys etc on my batphone, then simply put the post code on my free sat nav also on my batphone and found them no probs. even for walking around towns and finding back street pubs u can't beat 'em.
