I thinks hes lives in Spains.
Ok, my mistake I thought he lived in The Scotland
what is XBMC ??
All the music on my iPod - I can sync that with the iPad too? Yes?
Yes.
edit:
or some of it, or different bits altogether. Or you can use the remote app to access your entire itunes library and stream that via an airport express (sold separately) directly to your hifi.
If you are in Scotland of course you will need to get the Och i-Pad.
If you've got kids, get something other than an iPad, as most of their websites use flash.
What?? Considering there are hundreds/thousands of free games apps available, [stupid] flash based web games are completely irrelevant.
I have 3 girls, they all use the iPad and non have mentioned web games.
Once you've got the iPad you can get an AppleTV, put XBMC on it and bask in it's loveliness.

can you not use apple tv unless you have an ipad? will it not work with PC or another tablet?
Slight thread drift, but can I ask why you're a Mac hater?
Can't stand the OS, and the (standard) keyboards are cack.

Most of the Spanish kids websites seem to be flash based, I agree there are still 1000s of other websites they could use, but when their best friend and the rest of the class are all on Club Penguin...
I've had an Ipad since last November and it is great.
I have only come across 1 thing I can't use it for and that is online poker as you cannot download the sottware to it and there are no apps available as yet but that is hardly a deal breaker
I think I've seen the first tablet I'd consider buying.

Android 3.2, £250, available in Sept.
IIRC I'm sure I read most flash games, are mouse based, so simply don't work well with the tablet format?

Of course, but the trigger for me to buy the ATV was the fact that I could stream music/video/pictures from the iPad. Once I got the ATV I thought it was OK but limited without the an iPad to stream to it. it was only once I'd jailbroken it and installed XBMC and Icefilms that I understood just how cool it really is. It gets used almost daily now for streaming films and TV programs (and iPlayer).
Edit: Once the ATV is jailbroken you can stream content off a NAS/share but until you do that you can only stream from something running iTunes.
Excellent. Thanks for the info.
and remember that if you're a member of the Pride reward scheme through your employer then you'll get a discount at the Apple store.
Headfirst FTW.
It's called a Chromebook info [url= http://www.google.co.uk/chromebook/#features ]here[/url]. I really hope they take off/get a bit cheaper as that's where I'm headed. I'm currently trying to emulate one by using only chrome on my laptop, I even managed to edit a movie entirely online last night!
Just came back across this by accident...
[i]Stay away from the cheap (under £200) pads.
They are shocking. [/i]
Sorry, but do some research and you'll find that's not the case. I use iPads day in, day out as part of my job and my sub 200 quid Android pad is easily as good as them. Physically I agree the iPads are a bit more refined, and IOS is slightly slicker but as far as using it goes, there's nothing in it.
Mine is a Advent Vega which you can get from PC World or Dixons. It comes with some half assed Android OS on it which is a bit unpleasant. You'll be getting rid of that. Inside it has a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 250 processor, equivalent to the IPad and will run Honeycomb (Android 3) nicely. Screen is nice, touch screen excellent. Camera, admittedly, awful. But hey, it's got a USB port, stick something into that Apple!
Drop a Modaco ROM on there and some memory and it's pretty good.
