I love to see movies in my iPad. It becomes best entertainment for me while i am traveling. Additionally, It's a great device for checking mail as well as playing games.
My tv show list is so big I need an app to manage what I have seen and what I haven't
That said, I watch a lot in bed in my iPad lying next to my girlfriend...
The screen is more than enough for tv shows and simple movies (maybe not extreme action packed ones that might benefit from a bigger screen).
I use Tv Show Tracker but i believe it's iPhone/iPod only... You can check if Episodes has a iPad version... Not sure though.
This will sound a lot more condescending than I intend it to, but I enjoy movies too much to cripple them on a tiny screen.
I enjoy watching short YouTube clips or movie trailers on the iPad but at the most I could only watch reruns of 30 minute TV shows because anything else I'd just rather watch on a large screen (as, I assume, they were intended).
The experience for a movie depends on the screen size combined with the viewing distance as well as the sound system in use.I have "always" thought that movies were intended for huge screens like the ones in the theatre, so that when you see it on a TV screen, it's already crippled. Of course, that's no reason to cripple it even more by watching it on an iPad mini, though.
A decade ago I'd agree. But with the affordability/quality of a solid home theater then I actually prefer my 55" HDTV and stereo system over a bigger (but miscalibrated) theater experience. Plus... at least at home Im married to the jerk texting/talking next to me.I have "always" thought that movies were intended for huge screens like the ones in the theatre, so that when you see it on a TV screen, it's already crippled..
Yup. I don't have a TV in my bedroom so I watch Netflix, vudu and Hulu on my iPad.
