Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion HiFi & HT Chat Apple iPad

As I stated in my earlier post, I see this as a living room device, so I won't be getting the 3G model. My other half is interested in using it for educational purposes and may be able to expense one so she might want 3G connectivity. I'm undecided on how much memory to get. I won't be using it as an iPod (got an iPhone for that), but if it can't access my photos on a server, I may need some extra storage to have my photos on it.

I'm not in ops or research

If I was the CEO of Crestron or AMX, I'd view it as an opportunity. Sure you'd lose sales on your own panels, but I can envisage very cool Crestron and AMX iPad apps which communicate with their other kit (e.g. the RS232 interfaces).

I'm not sure about the camera. I certainly wouldn't use one as the iPad is just too big. (For the Brits on the forum, there have been some amusing jokes about the iPad being a great Dom Jolly prop.) A camera would be good for video conferencing, but someone made a good point on that BBC page that we've had videophone capability for decades and yet, when it boils down to it, most people don't like being on camera.

Thanks for this info. Makes perfect sense. OS 4.0 may well make it on to the iPad, if not iPad v2 (the one with wings ).

Again, v. interesting.

I think this is relevant because the iPad is a genuine alternative to the Sooloos Control:10, as well as being the front end for at least three (I think) other server solutions.

This site is not about cars, but I've no objection to a discussion of Meridian's ICE system when we know more about it.
