iPad

Just bought an iPad with retina display, which I am typing on now. It is very fast and typing is easy, having resisted such technological gimmicks before, I may no longer be a Luddite.

Re: iPad

How do you get on with predictive text, or words joining together to make nonsense?

Apart from that, it's a good piece of technology, isn't it?

Re: iPad

I'm having one of those Kindle Fire HDX tablets for Christmas which I expect is similar.

Don't think its got the retina recognition though. Sounds amazing.

Re: iPad

I also bought the new model (iPad Air) a few weeks ago after having an iPad 1 for the last few years. I love it and also have an iPhone and a Mac desktop - I guess I'm an Apple nut really.

The iPad is so good for travelling and this new model is a third lighter and a bit smaller in diameter without losing any screen size so it's even better and fits even more comfortably into my handbag. I don't take print books any more when we go away, don't need a separate GPS or maps. The predictive text does annoy me a bit but I also like the way it puts in apostrophes without having to use the shift key and back.

Re: iPad

Apple computers and tablets are certainly much improved since people have discovered that they support Windows.
