Superb, thanks Mr H.

I will be using it to take the load off the laptop we use as our main computer at home. Also for the kids to watch films on and play a few games.

I have a load of MP4 files to go on so may need advice as to the correct format to ram them through iTunes.

I have Handbrake and see there is an ipad output setting that seems to resise the film to it.

.mp4 is the advisable format, (well, H.264), as it decoded in the hardware, rather than software. I use the apple TV preset. Plays perfectly fine on the TV and the iPad. You don't even need to load them into iTunes if you use an app called Airvideo. It will just stream from wherever they are, even over the internetwebs.

So if I have a load of films on my laptop, I install Airvideo onto the iPad and/or laptop?

My wife just called me from the queue outside the Apple Store in Bluewater. She has a ticket for a black 32GB Wi-fi in her hand.

Good girl.

Quite.

But let's be honest, there's little that can rouse this much excitement in a little boy (trapped in a mans body).

I have to agree.

I'm just imagining that the iPad 2 has just been released and paying a lot less for it.

You, you tell it what folders to look in, (it is recursive), and you can watch whatever format. If it is .avi, .mkv, etc, you can play with live conversion, (so all the hard work is done off your device),




And if you choose to convert, you can do it from the app, and once converted, add it directly to iTunes if you want, which can all be done remotely, so things are done when you get home.

Why would you sit outside a store for days when Tesco did midnight release?

To be seen to be doing so.

A friend of mine queued up for a new iPhone 4 at bluewater on launch day. She said it was great fun! She's not a geek, just simply decided to embrace it. However, she said there were some properly extreme chaps there. One guy watching the key note speech (Jobs at the time, I think) on his iPad 1 over and over again, getting more and more excited.

Some bloke keeps shutting his van door and I keep rushing to the window - how to torture an apple fanboy on a release day.

Why?

Are UPS delivering something around the same time that TNT are delivering your (new) iPad (3/HD)?
