Ipad or Ipod touch ???
I was going to buy an Ipad when the ios5 comes out on Wednesday.
Now I am being tempted by the "touch". I have 2000 pics which I want to put on whichever device I do choose, and basically want to surf the web and download abourt 30 apps. So which one to buy ? Any help will be greatly apprecoated |

I would go for the iPod Touch 4th gen in black.
If you can afford it go for the 64GB version. I currently have an iPod Touch 32GB 2nd gen which my mum gave to me when she got an iPad 1 but I am think about upgrading my iPod Touch and buying an iPod Touch 64GB 4th gen. If you do buy an ipod Touch then remember that it will only have Wi-Fi for downloading apps, music from iTunes store and surfing the web. But as more and more places have free Internet access then it is not so much of a problem well not for me anyway. And you will most probably have Wi- Fi at your house like I do. If you go for an iPad 2 or a seconed hand iPad 1 then you will get a bigger screen as well as Wi-Fi and 3G but you to use 3G you will need to get a mobile sim card and sign up for a monthly mobile data contract which could get expensive. But have a look at Tesco Mobile for a mobile data contract. http://phone-shop.tesco.com/tesco-mobile/sims/ Also the iPad is not as portable as the iPod Touch. My mum loves here iPad 1 and thinks that it is exellent but I would presonally go for for the iPod Touch 64GB 4th gen in black. Here is a link to a thread that I started yeterday were I have posted 2 links to the cheapest prices that I could find for the iPod Touch 64 GB 4th gen and a link to the offical Apple UK page for the iPod Touch 4th gen. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1549846 I hope that I have been able to help and good luck choosing the right Apple product for you. |

I would go for the iPad as it makes doing all those tasks much easier, you can also get the 3G version so you can look stuff up on the go.

Obviously the difference physical size is a major factor. The larger screen of the iPad will make using the virtual keyboard much easier but against that the device is less easy to carry round with you.

If you're using a b or g wireless router connected to the Internet via a phone line or cable television system, perhaps you need to upgrade to an n. Sorry if I've misunderstood what you wrote.

how do you know how to find that out ? we're on sky
You're looking for 802.11 which is the general wi-fi standard, followed by the suffix letter which is usually b, g or n. Sorry if that's obvious. A couple of possibly useful background articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11 |
