How to rip dvds to ipad

A beautiful 9.7-inch high-resolution display makes iPad perfect for watching any kind of video: from HD movies and TV shows to podcasts and music videos. Since iPad is essentially one big screen — with no distracting keypad or buttons — you feel completely immersed in whatever you’re watching. And you can keep watching for up to 10 hours, thanks to the lithium-polymer battery in iPad.

Good for you, you finally found something todo with your ipad. if i want to watch a movie i use my TV 24 inch full HD. and when you watch movie you have to hold the ipad the whole time i can put my laptop down.

First of all(looking at the title):

Why are you comparing a phone with an operating system?
[Nexus One General] sbartz:
regarding iphone vs. android multitasking, you may want to do a quick google search for "daring fireball mobile multitasking." there you can see a comparison between ios and android multitasking. daring fireball is a blog written by one of apple's biggest cheerleaders and even he admits the systems are close to identical.
[Nexus One General] big_adventure:
Actually, the Facebook example is the existing Push notifications, there is no multitasking at all in Facebook for iThings, at least not for another week.

If I gave a sh17 what you thought, I would feel insulted here. Given that I own one, AND have pretty clearly demonstrated some technical competence, don't you think I know which model has a GPS and which doesn't? iPad 3G 32Gig.

Yeah, I knew what you meant - I was not asking a question.

No, NOT all of the Apple apps do. That is just wrong. SOME Apple apps do, but certainly not all or even very many.

Making you exactly what Jobs looks for in a fanboi. No insult intended, seriously, but that statement is why you think that iOS multitasking is "better" than anything else, without having even the slightest clue of how ANY multitasking works or what it does.

OK, again, I have an iPad, and I think it is a wonderful toy. But it is really not all that hot for watching video under anything but PERFECT conditions. The screen has sooooooo muuuuuuch glaaaaaaare that you see as much of your face as anything else, if there is ANY light around at all. I use it to watch video nearly every day (Daily Show!), but don't drink the Kool-Aid on this.

I find that the iPad EXCELS as a mobile gaming platform, a mobile note-taking platform (Evernote and Adobe Ideas), and a mobile photo display (and light editing) tool.

It is pretty good as a mobile video solution, because it is MUCH more portable than a laptop and has a much longer battery life, BUT it is extremely format-limited, doesn't support almost every site that streams video (they almost always need Flash) and requires iTunes to sync. It is also pretty good as a mobile browser - big enough to be comfortable, but missing a couple of really key features like text-reformatting and Flash (sorry if you and SPJ don't like it, but the Internet ain't the Internet without that tech, even if it sometimes screws up).

It is pretty lousy as a mobile music platform if you have ANY other option, such as a phone or iPod.
[Nexus One General] steelbom:
Yes, and I was replying to something Jack said I think, saying that Facebook is able to give me notifications...

Wow, that's just rude man, it was just a question... seriously...

... I'm aware of that, not once did you mention you know what I meant, so I was telling you.

All the ones that come stock on iOS 4 support fast app switching, and the apps that have "use" for running tasks in the background, like YouTube, multitask.

Wrong... I post, and if someone explains to me I learn. I'm not a fanboy... my original post I thought iOS multitasking was better, because I didn't know much about Android, now I do, I don't think that. And, I was aware of how iOS multitasking works, to an extent.

I think this pretty much sums it up, http://daringfireball.net/2010/04/mobile_multitasking

=)

Lol. And about the Daring Fireball guy? I think he has piss in his brains.

Look at this quote he made:

"But the ability to use the front-facing camera to actually make video calls is first on the iPhone. That’s one difference between Apple and HTC."

The HTC HD, which I previously used, can make Vid Calls via my data from the bloody dialer itself. Friggin' moron. Lol.
[Nexus One General] big_adventure:
Fast app switching and multitasking are not the same. All apps, not just "stock" apps, "support" fast app switching with no modifications at all (I've been using iOS 4 on a test 3GS for 5 days now; I have a contract at the biggest company in Europe and we're testing it with our architecture). All "fast app switching" does is put the app in the background rather than closing it. If the app doesn't make any background api registration, it is asleep, taking RAM but no CPU or anything else (just like on Android, FWIW). Now, I managed to force a state error on a crappy game by switching off of it, then starting a string of other applications until I was pretty sure that the game had been over-written. Since the app only seems to save it's state on exit, it had my last saved state memorized. However, most iPhone apps don't have a problem even with this, as they save state frequently or constantly to ensure that a crash doesn't kill your progress.

And as far as you calling me rude, well, if it makes you feel better... but you are the one that came onto an Android forum, refused to search for even basic information, and started spewing propApplaganda right from the mouth of the great Steve (for whom I must admin profound, albeit grudging, respect, as I detest many of the means he uses for his ends). You didn't bother to read the thread to see what others had already posted. Then you tried a trap question on someone who knows considerably more about both platforms than you do. Maybe your definition of rude is different than mine? That's cool, you're entitled to behave how you like, and I'm entitled to teach my kids not to behave that way.

Really? We can go back and look at your old posts in this thread, and I'm pretty sure that is NOT the conclusion that we will draw. You didn't even understand the radio on the iPhone 4 - you thought it was 4G ("faster than 3G") until we shut that down for you.

And the US is sadly losing 2-0 at halftime to Slovenia. Such a "classic" US match. snif
[Nexus One General] befunged:
I see the Daring Fireball can't tell the difference between task switching and multi-tasking either. Android background apps (not suspended foreground apps) can do anything in the background with 1 restriction, the CPU of background apps is limited to 20% from android 1.6 IIRC. When running as the foreground app, there is no CPU restriction.
[Nexus One General] chowlala:
Precisely another apple fanboi moron. No wonder they use iPonyz.
[Nexus One General] sbartz:
where can i find some more info on this system that you used in the htc hd? does it have a name?
[Nexus One General] chowlala:
It was running on WinMo.
[Nexus One General] androidlicious:
Well, in my opinion and I will reiterate this again for those who wish to listen, I think Android is very functional in terms of software. It clearly beats the iOS 4 when you look specifically at the things and tasks that it is able and that you tell it to do. However, the iOS 4 beats Android in terms of aesthetics in software and usability. And in order to achieve this, it sacrifices some functions and settings that you would normally find on Android for better overall appearance and experience. A good example is the official Twitter client for Android -- where some functions are sacrificed for the sake of usability, which it receives high marks if you search around for reviews.

As for hardware, I still think that the iPhone 4 is the clear winner here, no matter what people say, but this is a very personal opinion. I seriously do not understand why people adore the humongous phones that come with Android lately. It's a phone, and it should be portable and easy to use in your hands. In my personal opinion, the design of the Nexus One (which I still believe is the best overall device running Android) already looks dated; and other Android phones I've seen feel like not a lot of effort was put into the design. I'm still quite impressed that the iPhone 4 comes in such a sleek and thin package, and it looks like the phone's design could last for quite some time, which makes it a better investment.

With that said, I am a person who cares a lot about style (like a lot of other consumers) so I care a lot about a phone's aesthetics mainly because it is with and beside me 24/7. I would not want to have a phone with millions of features but is 5 inches thick, for example. Or, I would not want to wear a piece of clothing that was too big for me but is 10 times more comfortable than any other clothing in existence.

But software on Android is near perfection in comparison to the iOS 4; it has everything that I could possibly imagine having and more. My main likes for Android are notifications, Google Voice (tying into another plus for Android's openness), and customization. This keeps me organized and helps me keep moving along with my day, which is the main point of owning a smartphone! Recently I've been watching cloud/Chrome-to-device videos on Youtube (nerd!) and I could really see how that could be used in my daily life and have fallen in love with that feature. But the phone I used to own, a Nexus One, was really not what I considered as revolutionary design and I just felt really weird using it and it just didn't fit my personal style.

I feel like there's so many Android devices coming out but I still think that the notion of quality is far greater than quantity. So, right now, I am just looking forward to what devices are coming along on June 23rd or possibly afterwards before purchasing another Android phone. Hopefully I won't be disappointed, but it seems like I already am with the recent photos of the Droid X and Droid 2.

That is all.
[Nexus One General] steelbom:
I'm aware that they are not the same, I think you're wrong on that one, fast app switching isn't supported by all apps, only those that are programmed for it (which so far seems to be only DropBox), however any app will still show up in the app switching bar, but it'll re-open from scratch, like normal, rather than resuming from (being suspended) where you left it.

... All that is false (aside from posting on an Android forum), I didn't refuse to search, I just didn't, and when Jack told me to search for whatever he did, I did. Also, I'm not spewing Apple propaganda, I've looked into it more than just "hearing" it. AND I did read other posts, just not ALL of them... OH and again, I didn't try a trap question, I thought my points were valid, and I was looking forward to what replies I got.

You've been rude though, seriously... I never said anything rude or impolite to you, even after being informed of the things I was wrong of by Jack and whoever else, I was very polite and not ignorantly defendant of what I was saying.

Seriously you can't stop can you? -- theres no reason to be like that (rude), I've said nothing against you. I'm well behaved, I said nothing rude to anyone, if you've got a problem I made a post to some thread towards the OP's points which I thought were wrong, then thats your problem.

Update to apps

After using both the app store on my ipad and the market on my nexus one i feel this really needs to be addressed.

When you buy a app on android you can uninstall & refund if it sucks.

When u buy a app on apple ur stuck with it.

I also found navigating on the android market significantly easier then the app store. The app store is also more expensive then most of the apps on android. (11.00 avg. per game on ipad....)

Winner is clearly Android! Android just needs time to get BETTER games.
[Nexus One General] kevwright:
Half of what is on the web is flash? Do you include all the horrible flashing adverts that drive you mad? If you do, well, I still think you are miles out. Look, flash is generally STILL not available on any mobile phone and that is a fact.

The name implies nothing of the sort. If it were iPhone 4G, maybe, but it is not, and surely as it is available only on AT&T in your country, people know that AT&T have no 4G networks yet? Anyway, jsut how much 4G is there right now? Oh, by the way, the world is not flat, and the USA is NOT the world. 4G is pretty irrelevant in a world wide view right now.

You are joking right? Apple products are the best at wi-fi, with almost no exceptions. The issues at the launch were exactly the same as Google had at I/O, only difference is Jobs was able to get them to switch enough off to carry on. The iPad I have has not such issues, although the actually signal indicator is a bit touchy, actual connection is fine.

Well, first off, Facetime is absolutely not the best thing about iPhone 4, and as strange as you Americans find it, other parts of the world have been able to do video calling over 3G for many years, mainly through Nokia handsets, you know, the world wide massive market leader that you guys ignore in the US. And we have not already seen that iPhone 4 has problems with wi-fi at all, as no one has really used one outside of a small room with 570 wi-fi base stations in use.

Um, you mean like the slippery bar of soap I call my Nexus One? Right. Oh, and iPhone back is glass not plastic.

Wow, of all your points, this one is the best! There is a new king of the Android's every month or so!, Come on, the shelf life of all phones is outdone by the contract. Oh, and by the way, the 3GS is NOT out of date on the day the iPhone 4 comes out.....unless you agree the N1 is outdated by the EVO 4G?

Umm, just where do you think the EVO 4g and other Android phones are made? Oh, and the suicide rate at the Foxconn factory (which is the size of a city) is less than most US cities isn't it?

Wrong, Bing is a choice, Google is still default.

Bit more research next time I think?

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1653278/ten-reasons-iphone-4g-bad-idea

Wow! I forgot to paste the link to this article. I copy pasted this article that was sent to me via email. So don't get your panties in a bunch. But while I'm at it here are my thoughts.

Bottom line is.. We have it and you don't...

What the author meant was that there are a few people in this world and the world you live in, that arent as SMART as you and thinks the iPhone 4 is 4g supported based on the name. It is a little bit misleading or I wouldn't have people come up to me telling me the next Gen iPhone is 4g capable.

Is that what Jobs told you? Lol

What do I care about how you aliens use wifi or 3g and how you communicate using facetime? All I really care is how it works where I'm from or in the authors case, he's probably from the U.S. too...

Come on now, Wifi only for face time is ridiculously DUMB, not for geniuses like yourself.

LOL ohhh glass

Ohhhh wise one you are... let's see... Nexus = Vanilla UI EVO = Sense UI... Was the EVO made to replace or upgrade the Nexus? LoL!

I dont know what he meant here... More power to who ever makes this device!

I hear different stories about this... so no ones for sure till it actually comes out.

Yes Almighty Einstein :-)

Ok settle down boys and girls. iPhone and Android/N1/etc. are all great phones, can't we agree on that? ;)

No need to close. :-) I'm always calm. And yes I think the iPhone is a great piece of work, like I mentioned in other threads. I'm not biased, nor am I a fanboy. There's a lot more important things in life than obsessing over a phone. Lol. ;-)

android software + iphone 4 hardward...there's a phone I'd like to see.
[Nexus One General] steelbom:
I can confirm that Bing is a choice, mine is by default Google. I can't wait until the iPhone 4 is released, I want to see some benchmarks for the CPU, GPU, battery life, etc.

If you watch the Keynote, that's what you see. Over 500 people were connected to the WiFi at WWDC, so when he did and tried to load a web page it was super slow, later before he demos FaceTime he said we've found the problem, you're all on WiFi, so turn them off.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
And yet, the thousands of people at Google IO had no effect on the Nexus Ones Internet connectivity.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
And didn't they have a 3GS side by side and it was running fine?
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
You have the IPhone 4? :eek:

I am aware that it is an option on the 3gs and I dont see why they would change it for the iPhone 4. But I've read somewhere where it said Bing will be default. Of course I could be wrong. We'll have yo see I guess.

Was being sarcasm... :-)
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
No... coz the people from Google IO aren't from this world... they were from Pluto sent by their king to investigate our technological capabilities. ROFL!
[Nexus One General] steelbom:
You can't compare that, for all we know the Nexus One was on a private WiFi network and the rest of the people were using a public one, would have been a good idea for Apple to do that, if they could.

Plus, we also don't know the bandwidth available to either of the events, not a good basis to judge WiFi quality of the devices.

Nope it was going terribly slow too

Haha no, but I doubt it'd be the default on an iPhone 4 but not on a 3GS, but then again I set it up from a backup, I didn't set it up as a new phone, we'll see.

Ah ok
[Nexus One General] sbartz:
the reason the wifi was tripping up was because people were taking up all the bandwidth. the same thing happened in the google tv demo. bandwidth here means the operating frequencies of wifi. everyone bring their own wifi hotspots (mifi) to these events because the shared wifi is historically spotty and sometimes slow. a lot of bloggers are doing liveblogs that depend on a reliable internet connection. there were 500 wifi networks in the room, not 500 people on a single wifi network.

anyway this has nothing to do with the original point of this thread. i just thought i would clarify that.
[Nexus One General] steelbom:
Ah yeah, that clarifies things a bit.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
So you mean to tell me, that Apple, the company that would practically ruin a mans life to keep secret demo's secret, didn't do everything in their power to keep a demo going perfectly smooth? And that Apple, a tech company didn't have the forethought to think that bandwidth would be an issue? Either way it points to Apples incompetence, either by making a ****ty wifi network, or a ****ty wifi enabled device.
[Nexus One General] steelbom:
As sbartz posted, I was wrong, there were 500 WiFi base stations there, causing interference.
[Nexus One General] chowlala:
Just another apple fanboi making up 29358792387529385 excuses because... they're apple users. =P Go home steelbom. You're in android territory and we've ripped you to shreds just like an apple in an mashing factory.

Want a comeback? Get your iCrap 4 with iSauce OS 4 and then come get some. By then, we'll be running Gingerbread and you'll be an android fanboi. Which we already know you are anyways cuz you like trolling around in here.

And if you have a jailbroken iphone, all the more it makes you an android wannabe because you're not even supporting the apple ecosystem and you WANT YOUR PHONE TO BE JUST LIKE AN ANDROID! =P

So like I said, go home. Make love to your wife/gf/whoeverelse/justin bieber.

[Nexus One General] steelbom:
... I'm not a fanboy, I'm not trolling, I'm not a wannabe, and I don't want my iPhone to be anything like Android, and your last comment is disgusting... plus, you're rude.

You're just resorting to insults because you can't actually muster up any defence to what sbartz said, because there is none. It's not possible (yet) to know if the iPhone 4 has any WiFi problems.

You've not ripped me to shreds, I've been corrected by Jack_R1. FYI, I'm not jail broken, I don't like it.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
There is no need to be rude... steelbom was never rude here. In fact, I should thank him because I learned a lot more about how the Android OS works and it makes more more attached to the OS :)
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Have to take that one for a dispute.

Would that include, let's say, the super-crappy WiFi of Macbook Air, that can't stand any comparison to 3 generic WiFi cards in 2 generic laptops tried side-by-side?

In the meantime, your bare words of Apple WiFi products go against an earlier comment of Apple being crappy at WiFi with 0 proof, yet my own experience leads me to believe you have no proof for your claims.
[Nexus One General] whorehay:
My Apple products have horrendous WiFi management. I'd guess it's some software issue.

My MBP, when on Mac OS X, can lose WiFi connection and not be able to get it back for ages. The weird thing is that I can log onto XP and it'll connect automatically. But when I go back to Mac, it'll lose it again.

My iPad continuously loses WiFi. And since I have a complicated password, it's a pain to reenter the info every time it loses WiFi.
[Nexus One General] mlavia:
I use both Android (Inspire 4G) and iPhone 4. They both have great features and flaws. First off, Apple products have always been superior to those of Windows, other MP3 players, and now the smartphone industry (at least back in 2008). Their computers used to be widely used for enterprise, but because of their closed platform, they lost out to Windows, which is now the main platform of many businesses. Their MAC OSX continues to trump Windows by a long shot, in my opinion, and I believe their iOS trumps any OS out there right now, interms of ease of use, issues, and look & feel. However, using my Android (I'm on Gingerbread now) I can see why so many advanced users prefer this more. The customizations are endless if you root your phone. I had my iPhone jailbroken and the customizations were still fairly limited. However, the iPhone is perfect for those who want a cool looking phone that works. The iOS is (mostly) flawless. One thing that bugs the hell out of me is how Apple waits to release features that should have been released months or even years ago. However, when they do release a new feature, it tends to be flawless and well implemented and integrated into the iOS. If iPhone implemented widgets, I think Android could be in some real trouble. This is a feature that makes the phone very functional. Along with the app drawer, which keeps the interface clean. I hate having ALL my apps on iPhone and even the folders limit you to 12 apps or something like that, which is stupid.

I've always had a question in my mind, that seems no one can answer, but why does apple wait to release iPhone features other phones already have had for months or even years?
[Nexus One General] ginsoakedboy81:
Debate goes on. I think both platforms have their own benefits. I love my nexus one and also my iPad

Android phone is much better than iPhone if you are planning to root/jailbreak the phone.

iPhone is very much difficult to jailbreak nowadays.

Especially it's heard to find iPA to install for any app.
