Refurb ipad 3's are $379 from apple direct. They have siri and the higher res displays.

 

You could also get one locally for a cheaper price. If they want more than $380 point them to the apple site, they'll come down ;)

I've been considering that, but the high-res display is:

A: Unneeded- I have really good vision.

B: Use to much resources. The iPad 3 has the A5X, the same processor as the iPad 2, just optimized for the power hungry display. This leads to lag and inability to play power-demanding games.

 

Also, the 3rd generation iPad is about half a pound heavier then the second generation. Not that it matters, just saying.

LTE is useless for me, I would prefer tethering my phone (legally of course) when I need it.

So the iPad 2 is looking like my best bet. Add a keyboard case, and hopefully iOS 5.1.1, and I'll have a beast of a productivity machine!

All I want for Christmas is for people to slap themselves when they talk nonsense about buying into the fruit cult. I have saved two people this season some money and frustration so far.

 

Second then I want is the tower a few miles away with panels and RRUs to fire up so I can put the purple on the map!

Ive slapped myself a few times for buying an ipad 2 when they came out. I lust after the galaxy tab 2.0 every time i see it. Merry Christmas.

 

All I want for Christmas is a prosperous new year of employment. Too much talk at my job of downsizing.

I own a fruit computer, so you can't talk me out of buying more Apple products. :P

Without starting a flame war here, I am very happy with the performance of my third-gen LTE iPad. However I have no desire to purchase another Apple product in the near future. My used top of the line last gen 27" iMac was enough :)

 

Now if I'm wishing...a 35 cent increase in Sprint's stock price, an NV LTE site near where I'll be in FL over the holiday, or a Nexus 4 would all be cool :)

You enjoy Android, I enjoy Apple. Simple.

That's how I have to approach it. Half of my family are fans of Apple, while the other half, myself included, are Android/PC fans.

 

What I'd like for Christmas is confirmation of sites in progress in the Oregon/SW Washington market. Haven't seen anything at my local towers, so that will probably have to wait until after Christmas. Oh well... :fingers:

Just loaded Mini VMac on my tablet and am running System 7.5.5 on it and playing The Hobbit and Glider. Come at me, bro.

System 7.5.5? I miss that OS. Mac OS 8 was great too, but nothing compares to the stability of the UNIX infrastructure behind OS X. Now I want to go back to Pahrump and boot up my Quadra 840AV.

Glider?! :tu: I loved that game. Plus I loved a game called Castles: Siege and Conquest. I still play it to this day on my Orange Clamshell iBook.

IMHO, System 7 was the pinnacle of Mac OS. Apple apparently thought so too, for the longest time, as 8 and 9 were very much so just reskins of 7 with a few bugfixes.

 

And hell yeah Glider! Great game. It's only too bad that Mini VMac emulates the Mac II at best, and not something like the Quadra or Performa; there are a few things that won't start, and a few that run... funny.

 

I still have a Blueberry iMac running System 9, and I boot up things like Quake 3 on it. Classic rocked. Never was a fan of OS X...

Fan of freedom to do what I want with the device I paid for. I could care less what it is called or what it has a picture of on it.

I agree with that completely, but don't believe it's worth losing the simplicity and reliability of iOS.

That's what I want for Christmas- a simple and reliable mobile OS that allows you to do whatever you want. Oh and that iPad.

Oh, and a new flag out front.

 

I was wanting to buy an AKM (I'm cheap) but with the debates going on they're probably in short supply.

      Sprint Super Bowl Coverage/DAS

      By RedSpark · Posted

      February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

      FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
