spend a lot of time on trains between manc and london, and on tubes around london etc. just want it for light gaming, general browsing, and watching films on. 16gb will do me. also like the educational kids games ive seen for the little'uns - plus we have a 4.5 hr flight next week and i reckon it'll be ace for keeping her entertained.

I reckon a 2 would do you...........

I'd give him at least 7 out of 10. He tries hard.

No, they are lighter and have a longer battery life though.

Which given your remote requirements I thought might be more relevant than a higher resolution screen.

Though its worth checking the two screens out.

Also some people claim the 3 gets pretty hot, to an "uncomfortable" level. Given it packs the extra power needed to shift the retina resolution, it wouldn't surprise me.

But again, I'm sure either will be just great.

F'kin'ell General, you need to break out of the circle; 'plane will be taking off shortly and you need entertainment. Get a grip, make a decision!

im trying not to use that as an excuse for justifyinig it. i went on 4hr flights when i was a nipper - all i had was a colouring book and crayons!

[boltonboris]

I've got the new ipad.. Nowt to compare it to, but it's decent.. The screen resolution is brilliant for what it is.

Can you get longwave on it?

[Bruce Rioja]

Can you get longwave on it?

No, just Football Manager apparently.

No, just Football Manager apparently.

What stations can you get on that Football Manager? Will I be able to listen to Tower FM?

[Wandering Willy]

Don't know.

CAP's is the expert.

I'm sending a floppy over to you with a list of the stuff you can access on iPad. ETA for the pigeon is about this time next week.

[Wandering Willy]

I'm still using Fortran 77 on cassettes so a floppy's no good to me. Fnarr.

If it wasn't for the Nexus 7 being wifi only I'd tell you to save your money.

Or maybe wait and see if the iPad mini rumours are true, but you could be waiting a while.

Why? Given you've said you mainly want to use it "out and about" will that not limit you?

Or are you planning to just do the browsing stuff when there is wifi available?

Having said that at work, we've experimented with both 3G and wifi only, the trouble is on the train to say London you lose 3G half the bloody time anyhow, so people end up connecting to the train wifi anyhow....but then that rarely works in my experience......

[General Mannerheim]

virgin trains have free wifi, theres wifi at work and wifi at the digs - there is no signal for cellular on tubes anyway. I cant think of an instance where id be using it where there wasn’t wifi available?

Suppose i could get one on a contract with a certain amount of 3g usage – would help spread the cost...?
