iPad Unboxing Video
I’ve put up a short video of me unboxing the iPad. I am completely in love with the iPad and I’m even creating this blog entry using it :0)
I’d be interested to hear if people would like more podcast videos from me as well. Having do this video of the unboxing I’m thinking of doing more videos discussing things like the ipad and other apple related news, as well as the tutorials.
If that would be interesting then let me know otherwise just tell me to stick with the tutorials ;0)
So, I hope you enjoy the video and I’ll be back soon with my review of the iPad.

That is odd. I’ve watched the unboxing video on my iPad this morning straight from the vimeo web site. What happens when you try to watch it.

Mike, I’m assuming the chap was being facetious :-)
How do you find the screen? At first I thought text on webpages was kind of fuzzy, due to the relatively low PPI. However now I’m used to it I’m loving, especially now I’m able to import PDFs etc with Goodreader. Battery life is absolutely fantastic too (much more than 10 hours) if using the device as just a reader.

Hi Mike
What voltage does the American iPad need?
Is it 110v or 220v?

No, I wasn’t being facetious. Oddly enough, when I go to the site with Safari (on the iPad) and tap on the link for the video it works fine.
I was in “Reeder” which took me to it’s internal browser to look at your site and tap that link. I wonder if the browser that you can code into your own applications is not as capable as the Safari app.
Either way, I can see the video so long as I go to the Vimeo page with the Safari app.

Thanks Dave. I will speak with John and see what we can do on the site to make it more compatible. I’m not sure why it isn’t working but John is the web expert so he may have more info.

Wow, a website that reads and responds to their comments! Sorry, I was beginning to wonder if any website I read was really hosted and written by a human. :)
I don’t know how much of the video not working is your fault. It was Vimeo that wasn’t playing the video not your site, and it does play if you browse to it via (Mobile?) Safari on the iPad. (Should Safari be called “Mobile Safari” on the iPad, it is still mobile, just not as mobile as an iPhone. However, the iPod touch still calls it Mobile Safari…) … Anyway.
Do you think there is anything you can do to make Vimeo play it through a built-in browser to an application?

Thoroughly enjoyed watching it Mike. Many thanks for doing this. More podcasts from you would be great, if you can find the time.

Yes Mike, please do more ipad related content. I am loving my ipad as well and it seems like all I read is negativity and anti-Apple sentiments.

I too would love to see more iPad content too! I love this thing and would love to see what others are doing with it. :)

Jealous lol
looks a lot thinner than I thought it was going to be.
Just a shame a can’t, at the moment, justify the expense :) although if it ends up being anything like the iPhone the next version won’t be long in the making so I’ll probably hold out for that.
Did you say that you were going to make SLQ iPap compatible 450,000 sold only 3,000 apps on the iPad store not as crowded but equally not as big an audience as the 84million iPhones/touches (reckon it’s more like half that really, as apple’s probably counting total sales todate and you gotta figure there not all gonna still be in use) and 180000 apps. If anyone would care to do the maths. If you’re creating an iPad version I’d be inclined to charge for it given the numbers, but you’ll have to be quick about it :)
When are you submitting your game to the app store ?

One small problem… Can’t watch the video on an iPad or iPhone. :)
