what exactly is the point of a tablet/iPad?

Oh right, I wondered if we were missing something. So you can't add the old photos from phone to dropbox/photobucket & download from there to iPad? There is an app (called photo transfer app) that the Missus found to transfer between Apple devices, but it's £1.99, so I thought I'd check before buying. Thanks Chris.

Yeah that's another way to do it but by the time they upload then download it could take a while. You could iMessage all the photos to yourself which would be quicker than using photobucket plus you'll not lose any quality by using iMessage or doing it thru your laptop.

Btw I have a wee plugin thing that transfers photos directly from a SD card into the iPad/iPhone you can have as I got sent 2 instead of one.

She's downloaded that photo transfer app now & it was pretty easy to use. Hopefully they'll not lose any quality. Annoying that it's £1.99 & we'll never use it again as all photos will now automatically synch. Oh well, worth it for convenience & getting some important photos onto it.

I am a bit late in joining the party, but I find my tablet to be very useful.

Being a retired old git, I quite often wake in the early hours of the morning and cannot get back to sleep.
I used to get up, make a small flask of coffee, and then push off for a spin to Freshwater, and wander along the beach for an hour or so....hour out, and hour back, and if warm enough, have a bit of a skinny dip as well.

However, these early morning (3.0 a.m.ish) runs ended up costing a fair bit of diesel.
So, last Xmas I invested in a Nexus 7, and have been delighted with it, so that now if I wake up in the early hours, I still get a coffee, and settle back to watch various films or TV episodes of programmes I didn't get around to watching the first time around.

I certainly did not want to invest £400-500 (or whatever they cost) on an iPad when I can use my very much cheaper N7, which does pretty much the same things but on a smaller screen.

I have got use to the small 7" screen which doesn't bother me, and reckon it is one of the best bits of kit I have bought. Also, I don't need to sit about in front of my PC watching YouTube anymore, as I save that for the evenings and early mornings.

I hope I am not the only one.....
