Does the wifi one have GPS?

Apple really sticking with that yes.. almost all samsung devices have a gps chip, don't know why they haven't put it on the ipad mini or ipod touch..

Why would they need to create further expense by putting gps in a wifi only product?

The one with cellular data has gps, which makes sense.

yeh but if a customer has an iphone already it would be a good feature to have. because if you have an iphone you already have data and a tethering capability but in some instances would like a larger screen like me

merry xmas btw

You don't need data for GPS to work. There are apps to use offline maps. What about exercise apps like endomondo etc? I use it on my wifi Samsung player. A gps chip can't be that expensive, but of course.. "you don't need GPS" right..

My iPhone 5 maps actually work without Internet tho :s
Last time I was coming back from the us I was using it to locate where we were over the Caribbean Sea.

[pete]

Exactly. It's useful but apple depriving the people with ipod touches and wifi ipads!

[nemisis]

They ain't depriving no one, you want the feature cough out the cash for it, they don't hide that the iPod andipad wifi don't have gps. You depriving yourself buy buying the cheaper product that does not have it then complaining when you realize how important the feature could be..

[M_2NR]

gosh boy pete dbu. if yuh dont like a product, simply buy something else.

jm3, wondering* and yea you can tether it for data but not the GPS info.

Side news, MS is supposedly developing a cloud based GPS.
Looks cool!

[Redman]

Got the iPad updated.
Apparently all I needed was a 16 year old geek nephew. Who updates this while playing ps3

Merry Christmas fellas ,
Hope it's a righteous 2013

[pioneer]

What he did redman?

GPS is available at different price points with different uses/users in mind - pete

[Redman]

Breds he just went through the update sequence.
Like I thought I did a gazillion times.

Differences were the laptop and network were his vs mine.

So I figure it might be the security settings in the laptop.
Before you ask I bought the laptop from f1 connect.
Lol

[pioneer]

LOL

prolly had a firewall blockin?...first time u tried to upate?

[M_2NR]

probably your host info or something

[eitech]

Being unable to send a txt to a digi mobile would be a network problem or a phone problem. I can send with another iPhone.

[Redman]

Nah I updated the iPad last year, the phone repeatedly through the laptop and the laptop repeatedly.
It began when I tried to update iPad to iOS 5 incidentally just before iOS 6

I figured it was the iPad cuz the phones and laptop updated fine
Until today that is.

Travelled through a few euro countries using the offline version of tripadvisor on the iphone 5 last month.
It made life easy.

Since it's christmas... and we long time drinking buddies, I will behave
But when next year reach, fire in yuh skin.

Ok so the more I use the iPad Mini the more I want a Retina version with more RAM and better processor.

iPad 4 park up atm due to weight and size. 7.9'' feels just right

Gripe with the Mini, headphone jack is in the wrong place, should be on the top or bottom right instead of left. Seems more natural that way.

I like how it could ignore your thumbs on the very edges of the screen for more comfortable handling. The detail in design cues taking from the iPhone5 now makes the iPad 4 look dated. Stereo speakers also a bragging point over the mono configuration of the 4.

My sister got a mini yesterday.. Will play with it and try to decide between that and a galaxy tab..

[M_2NR]

Pete u know u want a galaxy bad.

[Stephon.]

Hear this right, I have a macbook pro I got last year and it's the model with 4GB 15" 500GB HDD etc.
I found out that you can actually upgrade the stuff inside the MacBook (how crazy is that!)
Is it possible that I can upgrade to 8GB ram in this particular macbook pro or nah? Also can I change the processor or nah?

Here's the specs from the thing



I know that most laptops (windows) the specs say something along the lines of "4GB ram (expandable to 8gb)" dunno...

[Stephon.]

And just an FYI the people with the Mini and the people that got the Mini for Christmas or bought it over the holidays as gifts for people, you do know that the Mini 2 with retina coming out in March right?

Anyways you cant get mad and say that you didn't see this coming.

[Strauss]

My sister got a mini yesterday.. Will play with it and try to decide between that and a galaxy tab..

If you buying a Mini, buy NOW or wait till new iPad Mini comes out. Not in between.

[Stephon.]

Why should he get a new Mini NOW when the new one is right around the corner? It's already in the "between" stage :/

Yes you can once is not the retina version, I upgraded my ram to 10G and put in a SSD.

[Stephon.]

Where did you do it? Can you do it yourself or would it be better to have it done somewhere? I feel like I need to upgrade because my book kind of freezes when I'm playing music from iTunes while browsing the web. Just this morning I was doing a project in Keynote and the music was "sticking" in the background on iTunes. Complete mess!
