What's the best way to get media on my TV from my PC?
There's a multitude of options. Apple TV (too restrictive), Roku or Boxee boxes (bit expensive for my likings), numerous HDMI docking stations, WD TV I have a 1TB esata drive that I'd like to use for playback rather than going the wireless route, although would consider wireless. Any suggestions around the $100 mark?

For those who have rooted it and installed Honeycomb, what's the Nook Color like to use as a tablet?
Is it stable enough to use daily or is it still kind of a novelty? What's functionality like in comparison to the Xoom or the iPad?
If you also have an iPhone, how do you use the two products? My wife has an iphone and I was thinking of getting her an iPad for Mother's Day.
But without an integrated phone, you cannot eliminate the iPhone. Would I need to have two data contracts?

Has anyone tried AmpKit Link (or similar guitar inputs) with their iPad or iPhones?
My poor guitars haven't gotten very much love in the past few years and I'm thinking of getting rid of a few electrics I have that have just say under the bed or in a closet, plus my VS232 amp -- which is taking up a bunch of space I don't really have. I've since given up my late teenage dream of being a rockstar, but I don't want to fully abandon my collection of musical instrument. So, has anyone used various guitar inputs with their iOS devices (or even their...

I am having an issue where my ipad is on longer connecting to my home wireless network, we have only recently put in a sim card and started using the 3G…
capabilities, up until we did this is was connecting to the network fine and dandy. I have only noticed this issue recently as I thought we may as well save on the prepaid sim that we have got in there while at home, so I turned off the *cellular data* switch under settings, it brings up the little wireless network icon in the top left of the screen, under wireless settings it tells me that it is connected, but when I go to check email, twitter, surf the web, or do anything that require access...

Is there any way to make Safari on the iPad open a page in full screen mode?
I know that this can be done if the page is bookmarked to your home screen and the page contains a certain meta tag, but I'd like to do this for a site where I do not have control of the content.

I am planning to move to Iraq in couple weeks where I am planning to live for couple years. Should I buy WiFi only or WiFi plus 3g.
I have some doubts that I will be able to find mini Smart Chip there. Any thoughts please. Plus I will use my Ipad 2 for surfing, reading and skyping do I need 16 or 32G. Any input will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Just curious about everyones thoughts on this. But is it necessary to have a smart phone in a market where tablets duplicate most functionality?
Wouldn't it make more sense to get a dumb phone and a tablet?

Is there a way to securely erase data from the iPad?
Yes, so I'm getting rid of my original iPad and want to make sure all my personal data is securely erased. Is there a preferred method to go about it or do I simply have to go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all content / settings? I remember hearing some murmurs of data not being securely erased from SSD / NAND flash, so it's kind of disconcerting. Any advice?

Based on the current rumored specs, will you be getting a new iPad?
Engadget reported that the new iPad will mostly be a simply spec bump containing the following: - Same screen size and resolution (9.7" at 1024 x 768) - Dual core A5 processor (current iPhone 4 and iPad use single core A4). - 512MB RAM (256MB in current) - At least one camera: front facing. Possibly also a rear 1MP camera. - Thinner, no SD slot. - Bigger speaker. That said, a lot of this could still change. Just look at the latest MacBook Pro refresh. A lot of people hypothesized that the...

What is a good touchscreen tablet that supports pressure input? I need one to be able to draw on the road, and drawing with fingers is difficult.
The Asus EEE Note is good but it could only display in black & white; and the HTC Flyer looks like it'll be quite some time before it lands here (in addition to untested app support). Any suggestions?

TiVo iPad app unable to find TiVo Premiere box?
Has anyone else had an issue with the TiVo iPad app being unable to find a TiVo Premiere box on the network? Things were working fine not too long ago, but I haven't used the app for a bit and after upgrading tonight (to version 1.0.4 build 1727) I keep getting an error: "This application is intended for use with TiVo Premiere boxes only. While we found an older model of TiVo DVR on your local network, we could not find a TiVo Premiere box. Checkout the special TiVo upgrde offer at...

Anyone have solid specs on GPS accuracy with iPhone and the iPad?
They both use an A-GPS chip, which allegedly provide sub 10-meter accuracy, but it's been hard to find anything definitive. Also, does accuracy significantly decrease without a cellular connection? I know I've still gotten GPS location data without a cellular signal, but it seems like it takes the A-GPS chip much longer to acquire a solid lock.

What are your favorite apps for the iPad and the iPhone 4? Sure, we all have Flipboard, Twitter, Facebook, IMDb, etc.
, but which apps are the one that aren't that popular, yet, you find them extremely useful, or fun?
With BGR's recent report that the iPhone/iPad will be losing it's home button next generation, which is an exciting thing, and the press's…
reservation to buy a Verizon iPhone. Will you switch? I want to know if you think I should. I'm on a Motorola DROID, which I'm beginning to dislike, a lot! I have an upgrade available. I know for sure that my next device will be iOS, but should I wait until this summer? Should I wait until the iPad 2 announcement? What do you guys think?

iOS 4.3 beta on iPad: No option for gestures?
This is the only issue I'm encountering on my iPad so far while running the new beta. I don't see an option anywhere in my settings app to enable these multitouch gestures. The new lock / mute switch options are there, but not option for gestures (which should be located right underneath, according to screenshots floating around the web). Anyone else seeing this issue or know how to fix it?
