No, actually you are right, that is one scenario where watching a movie on a tablet makes sense, although if travelling with my wife we tend to prefer to watch on the laptop (with two pairs of earphones).
The ironic thing about my "sad single" posting is that i am currently away on business and posting this from Prezzos while having my sad single meal
Yeah thats what we did with the ipad! We just booked to go to Crete in june and once again, a plane with zero entertainment! So im in the market for another tablet.

I wont laugh at the sad single meal! I had the same tonight as the missus is working late

The ones i download from the states ARE in 16:9. Just because you say they aren't doesn't make it so.

I have films in 16:9.
Then you are watching a cropped movie. No wonder the aspect isn't important to you.

Of course, if you want to name all these movies we can always check.

Pretty sure District 9 was shot in 16:9 to give the documentary feel the Neill Blomkamp wanted.

28 Days Later was shot mostly on digital camcorders, so was also only presented in 16:9

That's two just off the top of my head.

Christ! No i'm not!

Why wont you understand this! HDTV programs like you have been told are 16:9. I download a ton of these weekly. Some movies are as well. I never once said all either.

Some above. You don't need to check as i already know.

OMG your lack of knowledge is second to none, NONE of those films were filmed in 16/9.

18 days later? What happened to the other 10 days, I told you it was cropped

I'm not arguing, it is very easy to look up the aspect ratio that they were filmed in, I'm stating fact.

I like your jump to HDTV though. I'll just refer back to post #55.

Not sure where your info is coming from, but 28 Days Later was shot on SD digital camcorders, so is 16:9 anamorphic output. It may have been reframed to 1.85:1 for the cinema presentation, but the source material was 16:9.

My info comes from the DVD. The 16.9 source material has not been made available as far as I can see.

The PAL release of the film includes: Anamorphic (16:9) Widescreen

I think your quoting has been a little selective I does indeed include 16.9 footage.

How the hell did you arrive at that sweeping statement?
It was a joke as you can tell from my later post.

I don't know how people like you fail to see the iPad mini as innovative. I have a Nexus 7 as well and in comparison it is rubbish. So I conclude that Google equally lack in innovation.
How the hell is an iPad mini more innovative than a Nexus 7?

So it contains 16:9 footage and was originally shot in 16:9.

My point here is, some films are in 16:9 as are some broadcasts which is what i said.

In this case, we are actually both correct.

Why is a shame? Content is in widescreen these days which is 16:9. Why would you want old 4:3 or close to that?

Browsing i found it when i used my sisters on xmas day to be bloody fast!
I never understood the 4:3 thing when the initial iPad 1 came out, yet people still say its great, yet all the video content i consume is 16:9!!!!!!!!!!

Its bloody crazy. I dont know where people are getting all their 4:3 content from!

Yes it is. Show me any broadcasts or films these days not in widescreen.

In this case, we are actually both correct.
No, some of the footage was shot in 16.9, not all of it. The DVD was in 1.85:1 so when released the 16.9 footage was placed in the larger frame.

I've also requoted your original statement where you asked me to show any film these days which isn't widescreen. I stand by my statement that it would be far harder to find one that is, unless it is cropped.

If claiming we are both correct makes you happy, fine

What is that meant to prove should I just assume everyone acts the same or come from a certain social category because of videos like this?

Believe me, if that was the case I would be far more worried about some of the people I've seen using android phones. Luckily I'm not that narrow minded.
That my comment wasnt "silly" and that people do buy iPhones as they don't know any better. Same applies to all phones. Buying an iPhone does not automatically mean you are superior (some Apple fans would disagree im sure).

No one is getting 4.3 content from anywhere. Can you explain why you cannot watch 16.9 on an iPad?

As I've said elsewhere watching videos is not the be all and end all of tablets, I rarely watch videos on a tablet, but I often do things which are much better in 4:3.
