I don't have an, Ipad yet.
I will probably buy one (or my wife will make me a present for my birthday) in a couple of months.
Someone here has one ?
Is it really a good product ? Is it worthy to buy one ?

Same here. It's like a big iPhone (that I don't want either) that doesn't even play Flash.

Rubish!

I already have an iPhone rip-off and apart from movie watching, I barely use it, so...

Why would you even attempt to destroy your eyesight by watching a movie on a device so ridiculously small. Completely goes beyond my logic.

some people are almost deaf from listening to too loud mp3 players too :lol:

Probably, but the eye strain on such a small screen seems to be quite large imho. Short clips, sure why not. Full length movies? No thanks :unsure:

I don't watch entire movies on every session. Maybe 45 minutes today, half an hour tomorrow... depends whether I'm tired enough to concentrate on anything that requires usage of my eyes or not. :lol:

Sazzy,
It is not small, it wont make you go blind, I used to do the same with my benq E72. When you come to our city and get to do 45-60 min bus rides twice or three times a day, you might find that a cellphone's screen is not bad after all :biggrin:
Besides, Ipods, Iphones and Ipads are VERY expensive here. Think about a minimum wage salary for an Iphone (with a plan!), a whole salary for an Ipad (Brought illegally from the USA, with a 3-6 month "warranty")

PD: I should probably ask this in a new Thread but, does anyone know of the SAR levels on fake chinese phones such as anon's? Maybe the chipsets most of them have?

PD: I should probably ask this in a new Thread but, does anyone know of the SAR levels on fake chinese phones such as anon's? Maybe the chipsets most of them have?

I found this after doing a quick search:

The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the specific absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable to SciPhone set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). The SAR limit applicable to SciPhone set by the Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions (i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) specified by the FCC and the Council of the European Union, with SciPhone transmitting at its highest 5

Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of SciPhone while in operation can be well below the maximum value because SciPhone adjusts its cellular transmitting power based in part on proximity to the wireless network. In general, the closer you are to a cellular base station, the lower the cellular transmitting power level. SciPhone has been tested11, and meets the FCC and European Union RF exposure guidelines for cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth® operation. When tested for use at the ear, SciPhone’s highest SAR value is 0.974 W/kg. When tested for body-worn operation, with SciPhone positioned 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the body, SciPhone’s highest SAR value is 0.694 W/kg. For body-worn operation, SciPhone’s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure guidelines if positioned less than 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the body.

It's for the "SciPhone", but probably applies for mine (it's made by the same company) and other rip-offs as well.

Sazzy,
It is not small, it wont make you go blind, I used to do the same with my benq E72.

Everything that can be held in one hand is small tbh. Small enough to cause a lot of eye strain. And eye strain =/= blind. I'm not pulling this out of my ass, I've actually held these devices and tried it and my eyes started stinging like hell after a while of watching.


When you come to our city and get to do 45-60 min bus rides twice or three times a day, you might find that a cellphone's screen is not bad after all :biggrin:

How about you come to my city where I had to sit 30 mins on the train, wait 20 mins at the busstation and ride the bus for 20 more mins until you get to uni :P

Twice a day. If classes lasted longer than expected, and more than half of the time they did, I had to wait for another hour for the train to show up. I do know how hard it can be :)


Besides, Ipods, Iphones and Ipads are VERY expensive here. Think about a minimum wage salary for an Iphone (with a plan!), a whole salary for an Ipad (Brought illegally from the USA, with a 3-6 month "warranty")

They're expensive EVERYWHERE tbh. Maybe not salary expensive, but still expensive. They're so overrated. And still every douche fanboy in sight showing them off so everyone knows they can afford one. Do not understand.

My number one usage of an iPad would probably be to spend some time playing flash games online. And I can't even do that!! I mean, geez Steve Jobs, put your personal issues aside, make friends again and put damn flash on your crappy hardware. You can buy a laptop for the same money that will be able to do more.

Well maybe, I honestly didn't get that, I think it is due to the Refresh rate of the screen....maybe....

Do you have to crawl up the exit door because the bus is so crowded that the driver won't let you in? :frown:

Yeah, seems like Apple always misses the "small" details, like the Iphone 4G loosing signal when held in your left hand, the Iphone 3g not having AD2P or MP3 ringtone support...but you know, miserable people feel better by owning stuff that will make them socially adequate.
No offense to most Mac lovers, I agree that the UI in those devices in amazing.

We get seriously high fines if we do that xD It's cheaper to get an unpaid day from work than get this fine. xD

It does look good. But so does Android imho. I know what I would pick if I had to make the choice.

Sazzy, some people like small screen to see some unworthy stuff aka porn :lol: and wasting time watching movie while waiting/travelling in bus. Some people like you prefer to listen music or read books or even playing DS/PSP (eye strain is easier to get with game device because of bright and bling2 color :tongue:). While some people like me prefer to sleep or watch the scenery. But good advice on eye strain tbh.

About Ipad, i don't have it because it's very expensive here (not having legal licensed Apple product seller so...)

I was thinking of buying it but i later realized that it is just a glorified ipod with a bigger screen and you know what its screen is even not the latest OLED technology. I thought why dont i just put in a few more bucks and buy an i7 core laptop. so now i dont think i will be buying it.

Besides, it could be entertaining for the passenger next to you too, if you let him watch. ;)

But since all that Apple stuff is far too expensive for me, I don't see me buying another single piece from that company. (My old Ipod nano was enough... ^^)

What's a good price to ask for fixing an iPad? And by fixing I mean reinstalling a crossword game app whose cache was using 11 GB and then doing a hard reset. I'm thinking of $20, because someone who owns Apple products obviously has money to throw away. :gshifty:

Only three porn DVDs were ever burned, and they've been erased since then.
I never watched porn on the bus.

The existence of a dedicated porn drive is currently under research.

Also, I made $80 today. 60 are from selling my phone (the one on the post above) to a British chick. I thought of speaking to her in English to effectively prove that I know the language and who knows what may have happened next :shifty: But it was 9pm and I was already in the process of initializing ijustwannaleavegohomeeatpostandsleep.VXD, so bleh. Anyway, may she have as much fun with that thing as I did (even though its Wi-Fi range was 10 meters, it took me to places that alone I'd never find).

The remaining 20 are from fixing the iPad. I'm a tiny bit closer to having my own house and maybe doing porn suddenly doesn't seem a bad idea :eyebrows:
