Wi-Fi model better then the 3g..? really?

after doing some research myself, i changed models from a 3G to a wifi only, the 3g model of the ipad is very slow, the images are very low quality, and videos are scaled down to such sizes that it makes them un-enjoyable, basically they look very grainy.
There are even multiple videos on youtube showing speed tests of the models, just a warning dont spend the extra $129

Not everyone that is interested in an Pad needs the iPad 3G just for watching YouTube videos. The quality of videos provided with the iPad's YouTube app will be decreased automatically depending on the type of internet connection - best/better when connected to the internet via wi-fi, and a lessor quality that goes down when connected via the cellular network in this order of the cellular internet connection type - 3G > EDGE > GPRS.
Some need internet access for downloading and replying to email or for sending new email, web browsing, maps access, etc. when away from an available wi-fi network they have access to. The quality of YouTube video when connected to the internet via the cellular network it not most important or isn't the end all/be all for everyone in regards to purchasing a wi-fi only or wi-fi+3G.

  • Please help; What makes the 2nd Gen iPod Touch better then the 1st Gen?

    I am thinking about buying an 8gb iPod Touch, should i save some dough and buy the 1st gen iPod Touch or pay a bit more and buy the 2nd gen?
    Also, what makes the 2nd gen iPod Touch better then the 1st gen, what has been improved, changed, etc...?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the 1st gen touch since it first came out and just got the 2nd gen touch last month. I'll list a few things I like about the 2nd gen touch.
    1. internal speaker. makes a huge difference in my opinion.
    2. new design. alot nicer to hold in your hand than the 1st gen.
    3. seems faster overall than the 1st gen touch.
    4.display no longer has blue tint. now has more of a yellow tint. makes pics and movies look a little better.
    If you can afford the 2nd gen touch I would highly recommend it.

  • Is the ipad two better then the first ipad and how?

    is the ipad two better then the first ipad and how? please explain and use detail if possible.

    Davly24-
    I agree with Meg.  One other difference I know of, is that the digital HDMI adapter can send a mirror of your iPad 2 screen to an HDTV.  It only works for some applications like the Photos Slide Show on the iPad 1.

  • Older iphone maybe is better then the new one!

    Lets compare the two iPhones shall we?
    1st Gen. iPhone - Pros: 10$ saved a month in payments, get the 2.0 iphone software
    Cons: No GPS, No 3G
    3G iPhone - Pros: GPS, 3G
    Cons: 10$ more a month on your monthly payment for the 3G pretty much, Older iphone is about the same except for the GPS and 3G!
    -- So basically if you are planning to keep the older model iphone you get the same exact things as the new iphone just no GPS or 3G. So if you dont care about 3G or GPS you save money and get the same thing as the new one!
    I hope i helped some confused people out there because 20 mins ago i was really confused about the monthly rates and what not and im not about to pay more a month for 3G that i dont need personally understandable that others do so hope i helped some people out!

    With a 3G iPhone when connected to a 3G network provides for being able to receive and place calls while actively accessing the internet.
    This isn't possible with the 2G iPhone when actively accessing the internet via EDGE.
    If you don't live in an area that has 3G network coverage, or don't regularly travel to areas that do on business, this is not important. This alone is important to me, since I live in an area where at&t recently added 3G network coverage (2-3 months ago or so), and I've missed a number of business calls that went straight to voicemail while I was actively accessing the internet via EDGE.
    I don't SMS that much. I've come close to exceeding 200 in a month, but I've never gone over with my iPhone during the last 12 months.
    The 2nd generation iPhone and the cost of available SMS plans isn't for everyone, and neither was or is the first generation.

  • How is the 5th Gen iPod better then....

    How is the 5th Gen iPod better then the 4th Gen iPod, other then the obvious video ability? Is it really that much better while playing songs? Is it built well? How do you like it?

    I do not own a 4G iPod but I can ad that I don't think there is anything better about the audio quality in the 5G
    iPod as compared to the 1G iPod. What you get are new features and of course capacity and cosmetic appearance. I am an owner of a 1G iPod that is still going strong, no issues with it ever! I recently purchased the 5G and already have questions regarding shut down and pausing and battery life!
    Peace

  • Is the 17 inch better than the 15 inch mac book pro?

    Which one is better to get and use? 15 or 17 inch?

    I have both. One is not necessarily better than the other, really depends on what you plan on using the computer for. Even though the 17" is classified as a portable computer, IMO it's not very portable at all. Go to a store, view handle each for yourself. The 17" is quite large, mine sits on a desk as a desktop replacement. In terms of performance, equipped the same(processor, RAM & GPU), there is only about a 3% performance gain with the 17". Not enough to write home about. The big advantage of the 17" is screen real estate. But, if you want portability, get the 15".

  • IPhone 4 reception IS better then 3GS

    My wife & I are in Wisconsin. Her 3GS says no service. My iPhone 4 has 1 bar and I'm sending and receiving texts. I love my iPhone 4 and would never go back. It does everything better then the previous iPhones. The the display is just awesome.

    @CK6Speed
    Agreed. However, I think it is important that those of us who are not having issues do not want to take away from anyone who is truly having a problem with their iP4. As we have seen, there is a difference between people who are having problems with their iPhone, and those who don't own an iPhone but want to muddy the water and kick up sand. I feel sorry for them since they are clearly trying to poke people in the ribs for nothing more than their own amusement. We had a name for them in grammar school--bullies.
    Today, my wife and I went to downtown Los Angeles for some good Mexican food, we took our iPhone 4s with us and had excellent 3G signal all over the place (esp. at Olvera St.). I did try to "death grip" my iPhone to see if I ever once lost signal and I didn't. I dropped 1-3 bars, sometimes the bars even came back up. I think anyone who gets an iPhone 4 will inevitably try the death grip just for their own curiosity but it isn't anything to truly worry about--I've not had any problems making calls, even in LA! In fact, I would argue that the calls seem clearer and more crisp than they did on my old iPhone 3G or Nokia 2320 (backup phone). The noise canceling was very obvious when talking to family and they said I was crystal clear on the other end. Again, this is in LA--probably one of the most congested areas in the USA. No dropped calls either, very impressed.
    AT&T might not be perfect but I'm not having any problems with them at the moment. Maybe some are and would like to complain, fine, but don't call people who are having not problems "fanboys" or "apologists."

  • What Makes the MacBook Pro better then MacBook Air?

    What Makes the MacBook Pro better then MacBook Air?
    I am considering getting a laptop of one of the 2.
    I think Macbook pro is what i want as just a secondary computer, need a laptop that performs same as my desktop IMac
    What are really the differences between the Pro and Air?
    What Pro is best?
    Anyone have problems? and am i best with paying for a brand new computer vs refurb?
    thanks

    It really depends what you use it for.
    I'm in my senior years in high school and I just bought my macbook pro (15 in - $1799 w/out tax). I'm willing to spend the extra money as I am planning to use it to continue my education in post secondary school. I think that the MBP is great for work, designing and for professionals. The MBA is great for portability and chicness. The graphics on the MBP is beyond my expectations and it's great. Its great for many things.
    It all comes to this. Are you willing to spend the extra money on a MBP. What will you be using your computer for? WIll you be using it for a very long time? Are you going to be careful with it? I heard that the MBA is flimsy and can easily break.
    I also recommend you ask a person at the Genius Bar at your local Apple store and they will be glad to assist you. I researched for a solid half of a year before i made a decision and bought my macbook pro.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is their any other Processor better then a 2.9ghz intel core i7 that i could look into. I'm looking to make the computer faster & already upgraded the memory from 8GB to 16GB not realy noticing a difference

    Is their any other Processor better then a 2.9GHZ Intel Core i7 that i could look into. I'm looking to make the computer faster & already upgraded the Ram from 8GB to 16GB and i'm really not noticing any difference actually it seems to be the same as it was before. Any help with this?

    You will only notice a performance improvement if you haven't got enough RAM to use the applications you need. If you had a lot of free RAM before, you won't notice any difference now.
    If you already have your computer, you can only replace the processor if you replace the logic board. Your computer requires a specific logic board, so you shouldn't replace it and you have to stay with the same processor. Apart from RAM, the only part you can upgrade is the hard drive. What will make an improvement is a SSD drive, if you haven't got one

  • Is it better for your battery if you let it run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity?  Which is better for the life of the battery?

    I was wondering it the life of the battery would last longer if you let the battery run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity even if it doesn't have a low battery?  Which is better for the life of the battery and prolong the life of the battery?

    I've had a iPhone 4s since March 2012, and it's battery is pretty useless now.  I was using the app Battery Doctor (Battery Saver, Battery Life) by Beijing Kingsoft Internet Security software, which encourages the user to charge more often, whenever battery life drops below 100% full and greater than 20% full, and gives ratings according to the number of full, partial & overcharges done, but I'm concerned that charging like that actually results in worse battery life??
    I now have an new iPhone 5 and don't want the battery to only last as short as the last one did
    Any advice/comments please

  • How much faster or better is the new iMac... really?

    Hello all,
    I have a 20" 2.33Ghz C2D iMac w/256Meg video RAM, and 3Gig of RAM. I understand that many factors come in to play when you compare the over all speed of a computer. How much faster, over all, is the new iMacs over the system I have? Has anyone tested the two next to each-other yet? I am sure the new one is faster in some ways, but is it really lots faster in over all performance, or just a little?
    Apple //GS

    Hi Patrice,
    Within Apple’s slim new 21.5- and 27-inch iMacs are NVIDIA GeForce GPUs, based on our new Kepler-class architecture, which helps make them up to 60 percent faster than last year’s models. This follows news in June that Apple’s 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display uses Kepler GeForce GPUs.
    The new 27-inch iMac offers the GeForce GTX 660M as its base GPU, with even faster GeForce GTX 675MX or GeForce GTX 680MX GPUs available. The 21.5-inch model comes with the GeForce GT 640M GPU, with an available upgrade to the GeForce GT 650M GPU.
    http://blogs.nvidia.com/2012/10/big-imac-news-less-heft-more-kepler/
    So, any Apps that use the GPU to assist GPU should be much faster.
    Though I don't see it listed here, it may be too new, I suspect it may be supported...

  • Is the wall charger better for the battery then using the computer?

    I was looking for things for my Shuffle to add to my Christmas list when I came across this in the Apple Store. Someones review said that this item is better for the battery as when you plug it into a computer it drains the battery, then recharges it. As to this iten which charges the empty space only and does not drain the battery before recharging. Is this true? I will give points to those who can answer.

    Apparently it makes no difference to the life of the battery how or how often you charge it.
    I charge mine in a USB port on the external speakers I bought (iSound) and a full charge takes about 3 hours. - this is about the same as just plugging it into your USB port on your PC.
    (I tend to just top up the charge after a couple of uses)
    I just find it more convenient to be able to charge it without having to power up the PC everytime.
