[iPad Thread] iOS 4.2 coming in November. Now that's some bull.

Just thought I might show you what I did with Brushes on the iPad tonight:



The iPad version of Brushes is really something. Layers, opacity, and XTREEEEM zoom, and a whole bunch of other stuff. It's about as close to photoshop as I'd want on a mobile device. The only sad thing is the lack of pressure sensitivy/option to use a pen, but otherwise it was a fun exercise.

It's not pressure sensitive, but ThinkGeek sells a stylus that will work on an iDevice

desperaterobots

Hooooooooly shit, really?

Awesome.

Also worth noting is that the guys who designed that stylus have a video tech demo of using that exact stylus with proper pressure sensitivity. They're trying to get Apple to open up the private APIs necessary to make it happen.

And should apple roll this private API into UIKit at some point...

Pressure sensitive iPad.

Edit: super beaten, but at least I provided a link ;-)

That picture is really awesome.

I'm planning to do the iMac/iPad combo thing once the update arrives. I realised that the only thing I'll miss is playing my handbraked avi files while in bed...

Is there an App that can play AVI files yet?

i think that there are plenty of AVI converters to something that iTunes can handle.

and then you can drop them onto your iPad!

Fallingman

Huh.
Good enough I guess.

Can't wait - come on iMac refresh!

admanb

You can use StreamToMe or similar to play .avi files that are on your iMac.

Big Red Tie

i, too, look forward to the imac refresh
then i'll have a computer available to play newer games on

also my bookstandb from macally still hasn't come in
what. the. shit.

Airvideo on the iMac, and then every file in every format streams even across the Internet to your iPad.

Even over 3G.

It is beyond sexy.

I guess they could bump the graphics card up, but I don't know what else they would refresh at this point.

Big Red Tie

that's not really the point

You start the server on your computer, and then you can access all of your video on your iPad from bed. It's awesome. And only like three bucks.

Big Red Tie

oh the case just came in
Goddaaaaamn

if you'd rather have AVI on your iPad, yxPlayer claims to do exactly that, though I haven't tried it myself. the reviews seem to indicate that the playback framerate sucks, but we'll probably see something better soon since Apple appears to be approving alternative video players now

Yeah, it's like having a Slingbox.

BTW, syn, I got the Record 1.0 and Reason 4 upgrade this weekend. Lots of cool features but holy crap was the install/authorization a pain and omg took me, like, two hours to get the midi in and audio in to work initially.

desperaterobots

More brushes coolness!

Rothgarr

Wow that's really awesome. I have Sketchbook but everything I do looks like it was done by a preschooler...

desperaterobots

Took about 90 minutes and I used 5 layers, including one last layer for colour overlay. I am really, really happy I bought it. I balked at the price initially, especially since I'd bought it for my Touch ages ago... But it's pretty much a night-and-day difference with the iPad screen.

*gush*

Awesome!

I am setting up a big ass studio for someone right now with Logic at it's core, and superior drummer and reason rounding it out.

It's a blast.

I gather it'll be a small GPU bump and a shift away from the C2D processors. AT this point, it's more that I dont want to buy something that'll be upgraded in a few days/weeks/months.

I'm not expecting anything groundbreaking like the usual Blu-Ray, USB3, touch screen fans.

I do game on it, so I'll any GPU bump will increave it's shelf-life for me.

Big Red Tie

Ah fuck, scratch on my ipad screen
I guess I was asking for it by using it until I fell asleep with it for a month now

Also the bookstand is awesome. It really doesn't wobble when typing at all. Let's hope it doesn't break in a month

I recently dropped my iphone 4 on top of my ipad's screen and it made the most horrifying noise but then there were no scratches and I was like whew.

Jasconius

I've been routinely doing device testing for the past week with the iPhone 4 against the 3GS and iPad and ... I'm going to have a hard time bringing myself to spend money on a non-retina display iPad ...

It's unbelievable how awesome the retina display is.

Big Red Tie

ah what the hell
there are way more scratches than i thought, where did these come from

like they literally just appeared

Irond Will

Temple bags has a bunch more expensive leather ipad cases and satchels out

they have, like, pockets and pouches and stuff now

i still like the model i have the best though

Admit it, you were playing that iPad/iPhone dart game, weren't you?

I can make out tiny little scratches on my iphone 4 screen in bright light, which is strange because I have been treating it exactly the same way as I treated my older iphones, ie. by itself in the same pocket in the same pants, same type of screen wipes. Gorilla glass isn't as good as older glass? Or I read somewhere that older iphones had a better coating? or something?

Big Red Tie

yeah I can only see them in very bright light at a steep angle
They're really small, light scratches and I'm not sur what could have caused that

I had a dream I poked a hole in my ipad screen.


It was a very sad dream.

I had the same dream, how bizarre. it wasn't a crack, it was a little BB-sized hole, and the device was functional besides there being a little crater in the glass.

..yes exactly.. and the crater was surrounded by little points that you could see as where the cracks formed..

Gihgehls

was the hole in the upper left quadrant?

Captain Vash

lower right... phew.

BigDes

But if you flip the ipad around the lower right becomes the upper left!
