Very cool! I'll have to download the new Remote this evening. Is it still a few more weeks before the AppleTV comes out? I have a $100 gift card burning a hole in my wallet.

Erik-

The new Apple TVs have hit the Apple stores today, I believe. A friend who works there sent me an email today.

The new iPad version of the Remote is pretty cool!

I would not be surprised if Apple get to release iPad 2 in the US before they even release the first generation iPad over here.
6 months have gone since the US release and still no sight. .
 
Just insane!

That is just wrong. No idea what is "your country", but those prices are way too high.
Over here in Norway the iPhone 4G sell for: 8GB = $680 (NOK 3990), 16GB = $840 (NOK 4890) and 32GB = $990 (NOK 5790). All prices are for unlocked iPhone 4Gs with no operator contract.
 
No iPad prices - obviously, since it is yet to be released.

Yes it's out now. I will probably hold off getting one until 4.2 and Airplay arrives though.
 
Worth noting if you didn't know already, the the Apple TV runs a version of iOS and has 8GB flash storage (mainly for caching movies and so on on), and means that you will probably see applications for the device in the near-future, probably in the audio/video vein. When taken apart, there is also space for more memory, but whether you can add to it, like a Mac Mini, I haven't looked up yet.

Thanks!

As luck would have it, I'm stuck in a lonely, remote corner of the desert for the next two weeks. Well, not really. We have all the big chain stores, a few places with microbrew on tap and even an In'n'Out, but, sadly, no Apple Store. I've got to go to LA on 10/14, so I'll pick one up then.

Just as well, I suppose, because I don't have a TV yet.

Haven't had one since '99, but am planning to pick up one during the big sales after Thanskgiving. Some 32" models are rumored to drop to $200-$250. Can't wait, because I plan to integrate the whole thing together, so I can run the stereo (except for the turntable) and video from the iPad.

I won't be picking one up yet either. Gotta stick with my old one, as my old RPTV has no hdmi.

Of course, for what I've spent on headphones the last few months, I could have gotten a nice big plasma... But, hey - gotta keep the priorities, straight, right? :)

Exactly! I've knocked off the headphones for awhile now. The JH13 is tempting as is the LCD2, but I'm finishing a new pair of speakers up and plan to sit tight for awhile.

But a new TV would be nice. I've only been getting to four or five movies a year for seven years, so I need to catch up. The crazy job I had kept me from watching much, though I used to see one almost every day. There are a few hundred I need to catch up on.

I recently got an Epson1080p projector and ten foot screen. It's a whole new thing. Nothing like a TV set.

Awesome, I'd like a projector one day. A 40-50" screen is more than enough for most things, but for movies I want something BIG and projectors are just more practical and cost-effective in terms of size. The only problem is controlling ambient light... but I can always save up for one of those Black Diamond 2 screens, lol.

My T1 cable does nothing to mine.

Does yours react as if touched by a finger?
 
Oct 11, 2010 at 12:27 AM Post #523 of 623
The screens are capacitative. IIRC, it counts on your finger to conduct slightly, so if your cable is moving the screen, it is either conducting or is already conducting a little power on the outside.

Sorry if this has been asked.  We have a house full of Macs with different iTunes libraries.  We use Home sharing and works great. Does the iPad use Home Sharing also?  Or does the music/files have to be actually on the iPad?  I'd love to be able to access all the music in the house with the iPad.  Oh I haven't bought it yet.  The new "little" Macbook Air is also tempting.

There's a $3 app called Stream To Me that lets you play easily-published iTunes playlists from any Mac on your local network on your iPad, while Apple's free (recently updated for the iPad) Remote app lets you control an iTunes music library on any Mac on your local network from your iPad. Both are easy to use and work flawlessly.
