Re: Do you have an ipad what do you use it for.

Mostly,but not exclusively,mart. I also use GNOME,which has built-in binaries for compatibility with Linux,plus on the SSD I keep a compacted version of FreeDOS,for the mathematical stuff. As far as Windows 10 goes,I'd rather eat my socks [and I know where they've been!] and the Apple system just defies any effort I make to acquaint with it. That iPad was a total failure,as on opening and starting it,the very first thing it did was demand a password for an 'Apple I.D.' that I haven't used since Noah was a boy-so I got in touch with Apple...and was informed they'd reset it for £50,but it would take ten days. That was weeks ago. Nah. Sod Apple's money hungry antics..it sits in it's box to my right,never been used. I never heard back from Apple,so it can go in the bin. My binman may like it-I don't.

I don't have either and am happy with my little basic mobile phone so don't think I want a smartphone .
So it would have to be an ipad and only certain models are compatible so a reconditioned one (which also costs a lot less than a smartphone).

So my question is, what do you use your ipad for ...
Also what size is it, will 32gb be sufficient for my basic needs.
OK a reply to the topic title.

I play games on it.

I watch U Tube.

But most important I use it as a Phone...which cost nothing.

Be in America soon and can ring up my friends in England for NOTHING

Re: Do you have an ipad what do you use it for.

I bought a tablet 3 maybe 4 yrs ago. That's similar to an ipad innit?

I thought it would be nice to sit comfortably and browse online. But I couldn't get into it

I rarely use it now, 'cept for taking pictures.

If the laptop is having problems with a virus or something, I do use the tablet to go online to try and suss what's wrong. If it's complicated I then trundle to the library to use theirs and do an in depth look. I'm more comfortable using a proper screen.

So basically, I use mine for the camera, and going online if somethings wrong with my laptop.

It got taken out,charged,started-was looked at for all of three minutes,thought "Y'gotta be joking!" went back in it's box...hasn't seen daylight since. There's even a totally unused new h/d jacket,bought for it at the same time,sat with it. Nahhh...Linux Roolz.
I suppose I'll get round to posting it on ebay-but honestly,I just can't be ar... - er bothered.
E-Bay is a hassle but worth it before a product price collapses.

Re: Do you have an ipad what do you use it for.

My son bought me an Apple IPad a few years ago. I used to use it all the time until I got my smartphone now it's just in a drawer somewhere.
