here we go again: delivery time between 9:30 and 10:30. please UKMail find my flat this time!

On the UK Mail website it normally shows you how many stops the driver is away from your house. When he's a stop or two away from you, I'd probably just go and stand outside your house so if the driver passes you can wave him over if you know what I mean.

Nice bit of Geek Sheek, there ;).

What did you get? Colour/Config?

By the way, you should get "Crystal" from the App Store. It's only about 79p and it gets rid of all of the irritating ads from websites. Makes them load much, much faster. Also saves on data, if you're using it on cellular.

Enjoy ...

Initial review:

1. Very impressed with the four speakers. The difference over the Air 2 is astounding. I currently watch the 35 year old repeats of Top of the Pops on iPlayer. There's a performance of You Might Need Somebody by Randy Crawford. On iPad Pro it's almost like being in the audience at the time it was originally filmed!

2. Like the True Tone display. Subtly changes without being overly obvious it's adapted to the light conditions.

3. Insanely fast. My Air 2 was no slouch but from app launching to downloading/installing it's much better.

4. Coming from 128GB to 32GB I should have enough storage but if your finances allow I'd go "mid-range" as I can see myself having to decide which music I want to sync from iTunes whereas before I didn't really worry.

I love the fact that you're watching TOTP on an iPad Pro.

Classics/good times will live on forever!

Now, let me download that Spectrum Emulator ...

I'm dictating this from my new iPad Pro I finally got my iPad and I talked to the driver and he told me that the driver that had been delivering for the last few days has been fired. I don't know why but he obviously wasn't doing his job correctly. I also noticed that the iPad box, like the brown packaging seemed to have been opened and reclosed. All is good now though and I'm just happy I now have this! Now what apps do I need to get? Haha

Wow, sounds to me like apple had a word with them.Im very happy for you

I just bought the pencil and will have to wait a little bit longer to actually use it.

Once I do have the iPad I'd like some drawing apps and photo editing ones that can utilise the pencil. I'm excited.
 
One thing about the pencil. I dropped it twice and damaged both tips for the iPad and rang support as you can't buy tips yet and they have replaced the whole pencil for free :)

Don't bother with the YouTube app ... it's crap!

Download Tubex, which is the BEST YouTube client.

Works with Slide Over, and PIP.

So you can be doing whatever (maybe surfing on Safari) and just Slide Over, open Tubex, select a video & have it play PIP, then close Slide Over! It's so handy, and you never left what you was going in Safari.

When you want to load up/search for a new video you just use Slide Over, again!

Also, I would pinch with 2 fingers to make the PIP as small as possible, so that it takes up less screen and allows you to see whatever else it is that you are doing that much clearer. It's kind of like having a TV on in the background!

Also download ToView, which is a free app which allows you to watch TV on your iPad. It works with PIP perfectly, but not Slide Over. However, you don't tend to change channels that often once you've started to watch something so it's ok.

Let us know what else you download ...

I thought they're selling 4 tips for £15 on the Apple Store?
Nice of them to replace your whole pencil though :)

Shouldn't you be changing your signature at the bottom of your posts to reflect your new iPad.

I'd recommend Football Manager Touch 16 for iPad. I've got it and it's brilliant. At times the players are stupid but overall it's a great football simulation game. Ran like a dog on my iPad Air but on the Pro 9.7" it runs great.

Having trouble getting my Mac save over £15 was pricey!
 
Any snooker players in here?

If anyone fancies a game on International Snooker 2012 (a superb game!) then let me know.

We can add each other in Game Center & have a few games ...

Yeah, ToonCamera is good. Even records video ...
 
I'm not entirely sure if the iPad is for me, I think it's cause I don't have uni for 4 months now but I feel like I don't need this

Thank you. When did this go on there? £15 for 4 though
Click to expand...

Not sure really but I think it was recently. Someone posted in another thread a few days ago with a link. I think that was for the US but I checked the UK store an they were on there too for sale.
[doublepost=1459623537][/doublepost]I went today to one of the local Apple store and got a chance to try out the smart keyboard. I was actually quite impressed with it. i wish I had pre-ordered it with the iPad as I want one one now but they are back ordered with a 1-2 week delivery window. That store didn't have any in stock and I doubt any of the other London stores do either.
