Stevo985 Posted June 13, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2011 Anyone having problems with the app store? I can download new apps, but when I try and update existing apps, I hit update and nothing happens. Been like it for a few days now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hey Stevo, I reckon this issue is specific to you, otherwise it would have been on the 10 o'clock news last night and all over the radio this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 14, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2011 Ah, I sorted it. It was just because I didn't have any space left on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 14, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yeh I felt a bit like that, especially as I knew my phone was reaching capacity! But it doesn't tell you it's full, it just doesn't download the update. It was only when I tried to download a new app and it told me there wasn't enough space that it all clicked. D'oh!

CVByrne Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 You can hardly sit at home watching video and browsing the internet on a tiny 3.5 inch screen. There is a clear need to tablets and smartphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both, and must admit I only use my iphone as a phone now and occasionaly use the net when out and about. My head is telling me my next phone should be a bog standard phone,but I know I will end up with the latest apple or android phone that I wont really need.

Stevo985 Posted June 27, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2011 It's such a luxury though. After my time spent playing with the iPad, I was impressed. i really liked it, but it is literally exactly the same as my iPhone, just with a bigger screen. I just think they're so similar, the argument of one having a bigger screen doesn't really sway me. If you've got money to spuink, then obviously go for it. But I don't see why someone would shell out the kind of cash it costs to get an iPad if they already have an iPhone. it's basically paying for a slightly larger version of something they already have. iPads and other tablets are great. But personally I don't see a big enough distinction between iPads and iPhones to justify needing both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 What if you want an ipad to replace your netbook? You're not going to replace a home pc with an iphone but you can replace one with a tablet like the ipad. Most people just consume media these days, so the tablets really are useful for exactly that.

briggaman Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm still with the people that feel the iPad is a luxury too and I don't really see the point in it. I suppose it is what gadgets are all about though, being that it's something you don't need but you still want it. I would buy one if I had money to burn in all honesty. I currently own a high standard PC, MacBook Pro and Galaxy S2 and this makes it pointless in my eyes. I just don't see where it fits, apart from as a pure luxury item.

You're not going to replace a home pc with an iphone but you can replace one with a tablet like the ipad. Most people just consume media these days, so the tablets really are useful for exactly that. Are we at the stage where tablets can replace a normal laptop? I think as soon as you need your laptop for anything other than browsing the net and apps, a tablet isn't going to cut it. I think they're probably the future, but right now? Not for me. As I said, if I didn't have an iPhone I'd definitely look into a tablet. But as it stands, to me it's like buying a 32 inch TV when I've already got the exact same TV, but only 28 inches. It's great, but pure luxury.

CVByrne Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 But what if you just use your pc for watching films and browsing the web like I do. tbf my tablet has a keyboard dock to make it a netbook. But I rarely have it connected. So the tablet does exactly what it should do and that's enough for me. To each and their own. The iPad is a replacement for the laptop to many. Though it's not a laptop killer yet, and may never be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 27, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2011 That's fair enough. But I would still find it strange for someone to have an iPhone and an iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of iPad owners also had an iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'd agree with Rev, I'd say it could be 90% of the ipad owners owning iphones. I can understand why. I used to us my netbook sitting on the couch in front of the tv. So the tablet lets this browsing experience be easier. Touch screens are excellent for the internet. Plus the battery life and weight makes then excellent for travelling. Though they will never really replace a physical keyboard with a touchscreen version. For any large amount of typing a physical keyboard still wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
