James Ang:

Initially my son (K2) loves the iPad, but now he likes the iPod Touch (new 4th gen) more maybe because it is smaller and he can record video of himself singing using facetime.

Hi James, can we download n use the Apple Apps using the iPod Touch (4th)? If so I dun mind buying it...

[krazy]

Village girl:

it depends on the format of the movie that has been downloaded. but for w.tv, no need to convert anything. download is done on the iPad itself and plays directly too. very easy.

I would never be able to justify to buy an iPad for myself due to the \"Apple style\".. too many restrictions, limited media file support etc.. can't met my requirements..


But I bought 1 for my kids & partner, and felt it is worth every cent!
:love:

They all enjoyed using it.. And there are many useful education apps & games too.. and many are free.. in fact, till now I have never paid a single cent for all the Apps.

And the reason I like it is bcoz of the \"Apple style\" too.. What they can do, they really shine in it.. the Apps runs smooth, the browser is fast, the interface is easy to use, and the design is sleek too.

Just don't expect it to do what is is not design to do, like bluetooth file transfer, installing programs not from itune store, play flash, play unsupported media files, download internet files etc.. you'll only make yourself miserable.. that's the reason why many pple are pissed off with Apple products.. Like everything also cannot do..

just take note, it is Not a notebook substitute.. it does what Apple designed it to do Only.

HI!!

I'm very tempted to buy an iPad after seeing how my friends engage their kids with the cute aps on their iPhones.

Yet some of my friends say they don't find the iPad useful and sold their away.

Is the iPad really good? Do the kids really learn using the iPad?

sand:

if buy iPad mainly for children's app, will I need more than 16Gb? Thanks for any opinions.

The short answer is No.

Apps don't take up much space. Videos, pictures and music do.

16Gb is good for like,

25,000 pictures (Sync via iTunes)
OR, 3000+ mp3
OR, a few hundred SD video
OR, a few HD videos

so.. depending on the usage, you can decide for yourself..

Note that the videos can always be deleted to make room for new ones..

Village Girl:

Thanks all. I will try it out. Glad that I am able to read d book soon.


My kids love the games too but may I know how to look at videos besides YouTube? They wanted to watch movies but I not sure how to do it.

Sorry coz I just had this iPad n it is my 1st apple. :love:

You need to convert them to the correct format that is supported by iPad. Usually mov or mp4. What format are your movies in?

Or you can download the VLC Apps (now free) that can play more file types then what the iPad natively support. Note that files that are not supported will not be displayed on the iPad with the VLC App.

The iPod Touch is an iPhone without the capability to make calls (and the iPad is an oversized iPod Touch), so it is fully capable of downloading apps (albeit via wifi and not 3G) and running them.

There seems to be some rumors that flash might be support in iOS 4.2 for iPad…
