Anyone knows about/used a good writing app for the ipad 2...with both hand writing and typing features that could sync with a pc and view it as it is on the ipad?
I downloaded Goodnotes for ipad and it works great but i cant open the file on my pc to view my notes

I use notability and Dropbox together. Works good for taking notes in school. You can also do audio recording. You can choose to save your documents in the native notability format or convert them to RTF and PDF. I personally convert to PDF + audio and sync to my Dropbox so that I can access my files from anywhere.

In terms of what?
Screen size? Nope.

What new phone features you want the iPhone 5 to have?

[Rory Phoulorie]

What new phone features you want the iPhone 5 to have?

If you could combine an iPhone with a Swiss Army knife, it would be the most epic phone ever created.

[pete]

How bout:

1. Ability to mount the phone as a drive to easily transfer files to/from it
2. A way to easily switch on/off wifi, bluetooth, gps, auto rotation etc

Oh yea I'd like #2.

#1 I don't see happening as the iPhone is also an iPod w/ iTunes music store. The record labels call the shots when it comes to DRM. Apple has to follow the rules set by these big companies to prevent people from just coping music FROM your iPhone to your PC.

[pete]

How about
#3. Switch from that apple proprietary charging port to a standard MicroUSB port which EVERYONE else uses

Cause really.. what's the advantage of the apple docking port over microusb?

[firstchoicett]

^ they want to be different ....

The extra pins to control car decks, home stereos, data from your shoes, bio-feedback devices (heart rate), military hardware (special ops rifles) etc

i.e. you don't see "Samsung-ready" deck on your Lexus or BMW. There are lots of stuff out there that work with your iPhone/iPod/iPad and can be controlled both ways.

[pete]

Wait you need something special to plug into the iphone to get the nike+ to work? I thought it worked just so?

[mojosodope]

I know you used to need a dongle for Nike+ to work but apple has built it in on iPhones since the 3GS and the latest gen itouch has it.

Apple won't change it's dock connector in the 5 to a micro USB, too many peripherals have been designed solely to accomedate the 30 pin connector and it is logical that with the release of the 5 and the smaller apple connector they will release a converter from 30 pin to the new style.

Being said. If you really want to use a micro USB on your iPhone or idevice you can buy the converter online, Apple sells it in Europe due to the laws which require it. It should cost you 8-10 bucks for a genuine one on eBay or amazon.

[M_2NR]

pete yuh ent gone android yet?

But seriously why would they even go do such a thing and change to micro usb, all those 3rd party speaker makers thrive on making "iPod Ready" or "iPhone ready" devices. That alone markets their product. I'm sure apple also makes a killing from licensing that name and the 30-pin tech.

Don't expect anything major like that software wise. I was hoping for NFC since passbook is the latest fad but it seems it won't be coming this year. It is a pretty sucky way - the way iOS handles common files and no system toggles. Still. - but oh well. This is why I will be jailbreaking yet another generation.
Apple _never_ releases something too crazy(*cough besides Siri beta). Some (not me) say they take months/years of research to perfect it. I guess that's why you can have 2010 spec'd hardware running 2012/13 software and not lag....besides the battery life of course.

[pete]

I have gone android.. Only iOS device I have is a 2G ipod touch.

[mojosodope]

I don't see nfc coming in the 5, maybe in the '5S' to greater expand passbook and everyday usefulness, plus, I don't think I've seen nfc implemented anywhere locally yet no?

[firstchoicett]

Good about the 5 is bigger screen:P

[Bezman]

the new iphone will have a micro usb to comply with EU standards imposed in 2011 and soon to be adopted by other countries..

http://arstechnica.com/apple/2011/10/ap ... standards/

The European Commission announced in 2009 that 10 mobile phone producers, including Apple, LG, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Qualcomm, Research in Motion, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Texas Instruments, agreed to adopt a standardized charger in order to minimize the "needless electronic waste" caused by the proliferation and regular updating of mobile phones.

makes sense really... all devices can use the same wiring/peripherals etc

Samsung and other droids use bluetooth to stream music.. No need to plug in and jack in everything

New YouTube app. You be the judge. Dont read any reviews before installing.

It honestly isn't as bad as I thought it would be.
