One iPad Topic To Rule Them All As I'm sure many of you already know, Apple today announced a tablet device called the [url=http://www.apple.com/ipad/]iPad[/url]. What are your thoughts on it? I personally think that it's an over-sized iPod Touch (or iPhone if you get one with 3G connectivity), even though I can see it as Apple's answer to a netbook. Personally, it's something that I wouldn't get, but I know others don't share the same view as me. How about you?

iPad it's just a over-glorified book reader / giga-screen iPhone.
More like iPod; it doesn't have phone capabilities.]]> WaxyPumpkin72 OfftopicTue, 13 Apr 2010 01:20:03 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52320#msg-52320 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52320#msg-52320

Some very gimmicky apps. Anyone seen the Scrabble app which lets you use iPod Touch/iPhone as letter rack? It would cost a fortune to get a four player game going with that setup: 1 iPad, 4 iPod Touches/iPhones, and the app. But still kinda cool...

That's why I stick with the real stuff: cheap, still fun, and if you lose, you can throw the letters at the winner. =P

@topic, iPad it's just a over-glorified book reader / giga-screen iPhone. I can't see why anybody would use it rather than the tons of other, cheaper, and more powerful platforms over there.

For me, after seeing that it's been jailbroken, I'd really like to have a mobile UNIX terminal like that. That's just me though]]> cactusjack901 OfftopicMon, 12 Apr 2010 21:56:24 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52294#msg-52294 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52294#msg-52294

Yeah, I was pointing out to the other guy. n00bs blindly installing OpenSSH without realizing they should change their iPhone/iPod's password is a bad idea. Not that long ago I remember several people took over a bunch of iPhones because they hadn't changed the default password. They only put a harmless warning screen on, but they could have done much worse.
Yeah, I know someone who jailbroke their iphone, and they didn't know how to change their password, but refused to let me change it for them. Their loss, I guess. :P

Edit: Has anyone else tried to get any iPad apps running on an iPod/iPhone?]]> WaxyPumpkin72 OfftopicWed, 07 Apr 2010 18:16:55 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52127#msg-52127 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52127#msg-52127 SifJar OfftopicWed, 07 Apr 2010 18:14:17 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52124#msg-52124 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52124#msg-52124

BTW, you should change your SSH password. Run the MobileTerminal app and use the psswd (i think thats the command) command to change it. Otherwise any randomer can login to your iphone/ipod and stop it working/steal personal info from it etc.
I already have.]]> WaxyPumpkin72 OfftopicWed, 07 Apr 2010 17:39:36 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52122#msg-52122 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52122#msg-52122 SifJar OfftopicWed, 07 Apr 2010 16:15:50 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52116#msg-52116 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52116#msg-52116 TopGun96 OfftopicWed, 07 Apr 2010 13:54:22 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52114#msg-52114 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52114#msg-52114 SifJar OfftopicWed, 07 Apr 2010 13:01:14 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52101#msg-52101 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52101#msg-52101

What do you have to SSH to your iPod touh to get this. My iPod is already jailbroken, and I know where to put the .app, but where does iTunes save the file on the computer
I'll just tell you what I did:

1.) Download OpenSSH from cydia on your iPod.
2.) Download an SFTP client on your computer, and connect to your iPod by typing in its IP address and signing in as "root" with the password "alpine."
3.) Download the iPad app in iTunes on your computer, and drag it to the desktop. Compress the app, and then decompress it. Open the folder, and there's another folder inside called "payload." Open that folder, and then inside there should be a package. In your SFTP client, go to the root, and then click on the shortcut to the "Applications" folder. Drag the package into the applications folder, and then wait for the upload to finish (this can take awhile).
4.) Once thats done, respring your iPod by going into MobileTerminal (you can get this in cydia), and typing in the command killall SpringBoard. The app should appear on your screen.]]> WaxyPumpkin72 OfftopicWed, 07 Apr 2010 03:22:26 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52096#msg-52096 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52096#msg-52096 g_man OfftopicTue, 06 Apr 2010 23:56:51 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52078#msg-52078 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52078#msg-52078

Well, I just figured out how to get iPad apps on my iPod Touch, so the iPad is pretty much useless for me now.
Through a jailbreak?
Yes. You need to be able to SSH into your device. I've tried one of the iPad apps so far (Tap Tap Radiation), and I got it to load up. The PNG dimension were all screwed up, so it crashed after a few minutes. Next I'm going to try iBooks. :P

Edit: Crap, iBooks crashes too. :(

That's interesting, even if it does cause crashes...is this widely known or did you discover it yourself?
I figured it out myself...

Hmm I figured SSHing was possible but doubted it would work due to the different platforms. But that doesn't mean I won't try. ;)]]> TopGun96 OfftopicTue, 06 Apr 2010 05:25:19 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52070#msg-52070 Re: One iPad Topic To Rule Them Allhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,48086,52070#msg-52070

I said it before, and I'll say it again. I see NO use for the iPad for a power user, but a definite use for a regular person. However, I will hold final judgement until I use one in person
Yes, I agree. It just seems to me like a giant iPod Touch with some unique apps.
