Not off-topic, for the record. I think 'Mac user group' in a way, means 'Apple user group' because when it was formulated, 'Mac' WAS 'Apple'. I would be easy-going about Windows alternatives to Mac hardware or software, for instance, because it's part of the conversation about Macs even if ind

I adore the sound from my 1st gen shuffle(s) very punchy compared to other ipod models, although I hear rumors the latest latest phones and ipod touches finally have a similar audio standard. Whenever I see a 1st gen shuffle for sale at a reasonable price I pick one up. They can easily be spotte

You can get podcasts on a Nano. I'm always surprised of its capacity. Compared to my phone (which is only the 16G - never make that mistake again) its enormous in terms of what it can hold. A just s dinky! D On 9 Oct 2013, at 02:33, "Michael Dennis - FanChants.com" wrote: > Yeah I'd go

Yeah I'd go with the nano but I use an app and I generally listen to podcasts when running. a second hand Touch might be the way to go. Michael On 8 Oct 2013, at 22:43, Deborah Molwuka wrote: > Love my tiny Nano for running. Deffo wouldn't take the iPad mini out. Maybe > the cheap phone al

I wish I could get the battery replaced on my first-general shuffle (the guides e.g. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Replacing+iPod+Shuffle+1st+Generation+Battery+%26+Logic+Board/427/1) has a rating of "very difficult":( but I'm convinced the sound was better than some recent devices... On 8 Oct

Love my tiny Nano for running. Deffo wouldn't take the iPad mini out. Maybe the cheap phone also necessary for potential running accidents and the need to call for emergency back up? Deborah (Fitness Instructor BTW) On 7 Oct 2013, at 17:08, Michael Dennis - FanChants.com wrote: > After me g

If you forgo the phone number (ignoring Skype or sip options) You should still be able to receive txt style messages on the thing with iMessages, assuming iphone gadgets of various ages all round? On 8 October 2013 04:30, Michael Dennis - FanChants.com < mich...@fanchants.com> wrote: > Cheers Sa

Cheers Sam, Some sort of iPad mini backpack would work otherwise I think you are right :) Think the Mini is the way forward for me. WhatsApp, Skype (although Skype on iPhone isn't ideal all the time. I might look into something different to Skype, maybe Viber or other similar) and Facetime, plu

Hi Michael Forget running with the iPad Mini, it's too big for that. You might want an iPod touch instead. Other than that I can't see any problems with using the Mini in place of an iPhone if you don't actually need a phone number. Regards Sam MacAmbulance Ltd. Providing Aff

After me going on about how disappointed I was with the new iPhone, my 4s ist kapput in protest. I think it's because of water getting in whilst running. I think the local distributor here in Thailand would swap it for a reffurbed one on the Apple deal of around £120. The irony of it is when I
