Got my wife an iPad
The wife mentioned that she would like a tablet to replace the laptop that my son has recently commandeered. She wasn't opposed to getting a Microsoft or Android based tablet. But after playing with a few and considering she has an iPhone and iPod touch, she decided on the iPad. So for Christmas I got the wife a Gen 4, 16GB iPad. After further thought I was wondering if I made the right choice. She doesn't plan to do much of anything but surf the web and Facebook. Should I take the 16GB version back for something more or do you think it will suffice?

And this highly interesting, much anticipated saga continues.
Re: Got my wife an iPad
what a stupid question. you just told us she's planning to do nothing but surfing and fagsbook, so unless she's planning on installing a fuckload of apps or watching movies (neither of which you mentioned) 16GB should be plentyYourGrandpa wrote:She doesn't plan to do much of anything but surf the web and Facebook.

That's what I thought too. I was wondering if anyone with first hand experience thought differently.seremtan wrote:what a stupid question. you just told us she's planning to do nothing but surfing and fagsbook, so unless she's planning on installing a fuckload of apps or watching movies (neither of which you mentioned) 16GB should be plentyYourGrandpa wrote:She doesn't plan to do much of anything but surf the web and Facebook.

Gramps, you can google a review of any product you can imagine. And there's usually more than one review so you can get a better idea if the product is what you need and worth the money. There's also tonnes of reviews on YouTube and you can see the product in-action.
It's called "1 minute of your time".

Much in the same way that Whiskey 7 was telling a seemingly pointless story for no reason when he specifically asked for advice on the viability of a variant capacitor for his project.YourGrandpa wrote:I was asking for advice, not telling a seemingly pointless story for no reason.mrd wrote:And this highly interesting, much anticipated saga continues.

No, don't own an iPad. The only thing "i" I've owned was stolen years ago when some jack-off smashed into my car and after that I decided that I didn't give a fuck. My phone has hours of music, a big enough screen (don't use fb, just read news and other articles), and wifi, so I don't see a need to buy iAnything.

I would think 16Gb would be enough but I don't own a iPad and yet I too am considering buying one for my other half

Re: Got my wife an iPad
Whiskey asked a specific question and got an answer. (I asked for an opinion) Then continued with some other story about how much things cost and when things were scheduled. Sorry I lost interest.mrd wrote:Much in the same way that Whiskey 7 was telling a seemingly pointless story for no reason when he specifically asked for advice on the viability of a variant capacitor for his project.

Too bad about your iLuck. Maybe some day things will turn around for you.

Re: Got my wife an iPad
She'll need a 64GB iPad for sure. How else is she going to get all of the internet on her iPad? That's got to be at least, what... 40GB?

Re: Got my wife an iPad
You should swap the iPad for an upgraded broom so that she can travel faster.
Thick, solid and tight in all the right places.
