New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

my understanding is that overseas countries have ppl staked out at the new york stores so they can snap up all these ipads and send them back to the motherland

So, blacklight bleed.

kinda realized today that i actually need a tablet computer!

for...

I bought a tablet this week.

But I'll take it over to the Relatively New Wacom Lust Objects thread.

Giving Wacom some credit for some apple-worthy packaging and design.

Wow, a gis shows some v nice wacom tablets.

btw can't believe I'm planning to get up at 1 am for this sodding itampon thing.

(to be clear: getting up, placing my order online, going back to bed)

I have the medium Intuous 4. It has oled or whatever softkeys where the txt or icon changes depending on how you program it! Also a touch scroll wheel with 4 different options. One of the options is to rotate the canvas. I was like, why would you do that. Then I started working hardcore on the reason I bought the damn thing, where I'm doing some serious "drawing" and wow, now I get it. Amazing. I also got it to help with carpal tunnel. Getting used to using it in photoshop, less so for average daily tasks. Though I do feel like a computer superhero when I click "submit post" with a pen. It's no fairlight, but it's close.

Fantastic that it assists your carpal tunnel. That's what tech should be doing ffs, not just developing laptops with screens that arbitrary lay flat for lolz.

for.... working in central park and pulling up guest lists info etc on the go. attending meetings and reworking eblasts and documents on the go.
like i have specific work applications!

though it shipped last night so don't take those dates super seriously I guess

Case has shipped. Um, okay.

Yeah, I got my case last week. Very useful it has been...

My iPad 2 shipped yesterday, over a week earlier than was initially indicated.

I think I get why people keep saying the ipad is more than just a big iphone now.

I've had mine for five days now & it's fab---this os is really neat & the extra real estate enables lots of new things, or at least does so without the eye strain.

Flipbook is really great. It makes my fb & twitter feeds actually worth bothering with.

It's funny that everyone calls it Flipbook. I kind of prefer Zite now, though they're facing cease and desist letters from publishers.

Got so sick of being unable to find anything without spotlight that I've just spent 90 mins putting all my iphone and ipad apps into folders sorted alphabetically. In my defence I am sick today and lack the brain power to do anything else.

The iPhone and iPad have Spotlight, you just have to swipe to the screen to the left of the home screen

Wait, maybe it's just the iPhone, I can't remember at the minute.

Sorry, that's what I meant, I've been using spotlight because I could never find anything.

I use spotlight to find most things that aren't in the multi-task dock. Just easier for me.

Not sure why I never did this before tbh.

(all my everyday apps are on the home screen, not in folders)

Oh you have too many apps, just delete most.

why so many?!

I... don't... know

Basically I do routine clear-outs and can't bring myself to delete most of them.

I admire your fortitude. Too many apps makes my iPod touch a blackhole of focus every time I use it. Too much coffee and not enough sleep contribute, but an organized launch screen can be zen like.

My launch screen has always been in order but it's the whole "aaagh shit where did I put that shopping discounts app" thing that's been doing my head in.

I fully endorse too many apps. I havelike 5 folders of games that I keep. Most I keep so I dont lose my saved progress. If I removed them and they release an update with more levels then I have to start over. Completism fail.

I do that too. Too many Tiny Birds nests too lose and Essay gets so better with each update, I hang on to it till I get the most use out of it. I'm sayin, have the main screen be for apps you actually have the device for, a second screen for occasionally-used apps, then screens all the way down for erything else. This is the best method I've found so far.

ugh. I've bought three writing apps this week, don't think I'm up for a fourth. Essay does look bloody good though.

Haha. You a lost cause, man.

And you bring up a good point. With so many apps without trials, I waste a lot of money buying apps that look kinda good but might suck usability-wise. So many shit weather apps I have paid money for.

Yeah. If it's cheaper than a pint you can say "ah well, at least it was cheaper than a pint" but there's one $13 purchase from 2009 that I regret to this day. It stays on my phone because I'm too cranky to delete it.

btw the writing apps I bought all have different applications so it's not too bad.

If you backup the phone to iTunes you can delete the games. Updates will appear in iTunes and then when you reinstall it will put yr data back on the phone too.

But won't that only work if you then Restore from backup and so lose any subsequent game data from apps you're still using?

I've just spent 90 mins putting all my iphone and ipad apps into folders sorted alphabetically

90 minutes is too long! You weren't doing it on the actual phone were you?

...

yes

but i reiterate that i was decently sick this morning

If you backup the phone to iTunes you can delete the games. Updates will appear in iTunes and then when you reinstall it will put yr data back on the phone too..

that ihas not been the case for me. For example if I beat angry birds, uncheck the app, sync, then check and sync it back, all the levels are shown as not complete. Maybe because I sync two phones to the same iTunes?

Hi, does anyone have a clue when the macbook air specs are going to be updated?
