world going wireless? how? Wired Layer 1 will still be around for some time yet.

wireless N is faster than standard Ethernet. Why on earth would you want ethernet on a tablet?

the Apple Airport Extreme wifi router is 802.11ac which can transfer up to 1.3GB/s. Faster than a Gigabit ethernet network. The Macbook Air and Pro already have 802.11ac and the next iPad and iPhone will more than likely also support this. The iPad and iPhone currently supports 802.11n

[ryan99tt]

yea, the airport extreme works really good with those newer devices which support ac...

[pioneer]

He might want ah phone that wired to he car jus now

I really wasn't expecting him to play the Gb card, so I stuck with standard 100.
Still ,it's beat.

[desifemlove]

er.. dude, there ent no wireless Layer of 10Gb Ethernet yet? and whilst Cat 6a cabling ent that common yet, it will become so soon.

thing is wired Layer 1 will be around for some time, if it goes away it will take long to get fully deprecated. iz like in a way IPv4, we're still going to be using that in some sense for a while yet.

[pete]

Still, what do you want wired network access for?

[src1983]

I thought the object of a tablet was to be more portable

[Skuld]

^ It is, and there always will be a push for lighter, more portable and powerful devices. Some people, especially in small 3rd world nations, just like to think backwards.

[kurpal_v2]

Is there any tablet that has those ports?

[pioneer]

Jus now he go want tablet with floppy drive port

@ Wireless keyboard users

Is the battery life on the units as bad as some reviews make them out to be? In terms of how often they need to be replaced?

[hot blue]

got a new 5S for sale if anyone interested
$5200

er.. a tablet with an Ethernet peripheral could work since wired LAN ent going away soon. can you it is or will?

Wifi ent as stable, yet, as Ethernet. If Ethernet or other wired LAN gets deprecated, probably won't be for decades yet. I'd actually like a tablet that i could connect if i choose to a Cat 6 and network switch. Laptops are meant to be portable, yet they have Ethernet NICs, ent? as long as Ethernet and other wired Layer 1 is around, IMO it making sense. it's an additional option to increase its usage.

Not really mine going on 4 months now, heavy usage

I bought the older MacBook Pro thinking "hey I need that" only to realize my wireless was just as stable as my LAN. Btw are you making these comments based on a LAN network vs a crappy wireless router??

big clunky laptops meant to sit on a desk have ethernet ports. Ultra portable laptops like the MacBook Air do not have ethernet ports. Instead they have robust wifi capabilites.

Apple Time Capsule is a also a 802.11ac router with a hard drive that can automatically backup your entire laptop hard drive on the fly without your intervention. That is a high bandwidth, data intensive process that happens smoothly over WiFi.

iCloud backup for your device happens for iPad, iPhone, iMac, iPod etc over wifi or data. Even flash drives are using WiFi now http://www.sandisk.com/products/wireless/flash-drive/

Gone are the days of having to plug devices in other than for power.

it's an additional option to increase its usage.

how does ethernet on an iPad increase its usage?

[DJ Q]

er.. dude, there ent no wireless Layer of 10Gb Ethernet yet?

I'd love to know what you'll be doing on an iPad that demands this type of Bandwidth.
The 4G I get from bmobile is more than enough for my use on the iPhone.

I don't know if Duane remembers way back in 2006 when the iPhone first came out I was one of the first "bashers" because the phone didn't come with a stylus. Would you really use an iPad with a cord running back to your router/modem?

[S_2NR]

he have to be trolling
i refuse to believe someone is that backward

Here I thought everyone had electricity at least 10 years now

Looking for a gold 5s..

I usually buy d iTunes card online and redeem the code with no probes. However, i tried to give my cuz a code and it says he had to be in d US app store. Does it really matter?

Yea, as far as I know, they can only be redeemed in the US store
