A 1.5 GB movie streaming or downloading will still be 1.5 GB. So either way you will hit your 5 GB limit regardless. I guess so much for sprints commercials of unlimited everything with no throttling huh?

I agree with the cutting the cable. We did that back in August and it has been pretty good. We relay on the iPad apps, iTunes, and Netflix for our content. I torrent some stuff here and there too. We don't watch sports so it has been pretty easy for us. NHL is coming to ATV, already has MLB, and NBA I believe.

I have the Roku 2 HD and will probably return it. It doesn't get any major use in my house. The apple TVs that I have get far more use. We also have a decent iTunes library of tv shows and movies, 2 iPads, 2 iPhone 4s (not 4S).

Some of us idiots already have a xbox 360 and more than one tv. I don't feel like buying 3 separate 360s for each tv. The apple tv is a nice feature to add to my home for the other TVs that I have. Allows me to stream movies from my laptop to any tv in the house, not connected to the xbox, and stream Netflix.

Only one I can't is the top left corner. Otherwise my thumb can reach past the far left side of the screen, reach all the corners, and I have normal size hands. I am 5' 10" tall. I hold the phone in my right hand while doing this. Yes above my head.

I sync my calendar with gmail calendar all the time. It actually the only Calendar that I use. I don't use the calendar on the iPhone itself. If u setup gmail as you email you can set the calendar to sync as well. Then in calendar on the iPhone click on the calendar button at the top of the screen and uncheck the

"give it a head" .......I know right.

Tried it on the iPad last night and it opens the Netflix app, plays the video then closes the app and returns to the webpage when the video is done playing.

That's cool. In the end I think they will have to make some massive changes due to more people leaving cable for services like netflix, hulu+, crackle, iTunes, Roku, google tv, etc...

At the moment prefer my iTunes, Netflix, and Crackle setup over cable. Got tired of my cable bill being $135 more/month for channels I did not even watch. Now I pay about $60/ month for just Internet and that is it. The $40/month TWC home phone was made obsolete for us with just using our cell phones. That was

I either watch the shows on the networks webpage or buy the season through iTunes. Cheaper doing that than paying for cable. Cable bill was $1600/year. Barely watch 10 channels. Now just pay for shows we watch. Cost us like $500 for what we watch and that includes the $7.99/month bill from Netflix for streaming.

Hmmm, interesting. haven't tried it on the iPad so will have to give it a try and see what happens. Not sure if silverlight is installed on my laptop. Have to give that a try as well.

I have pretty much deleted everything from Facebook because of this stuff. I like a private life. I don't like people knowing what I am doing, when I am doing it, who I am doing it with, any time they want to.

Are you not able to watch Netflix on their website using the Touchpad? Sorry, I haven't tried this out myself on my laptop (I have an iPad 2 and use the app) so not sure what other ways there are to stream video. I would assume it would stream over the internet via flash or something to the Touchpad. Right?

i find using Airvideo works easier and better than using handbrake to cover my files to iOS friendly devices. and the quality is pretty good.

Yes, that part drives me crazy. Sounds pretty good. Will definitely give it a try. I usually send the feedback emails to skyfire when their app doesn't work on a site so that it can be updated hopefully to access it. I also hate the bar at the bottom of skyfire that has the different social media stuff on it.

Depends on what you are looking for. The iPad atleast has firmware updates that come out for it and tons of apps to add on features.

While ideally I would rather pay $100 for any tablet, including the iPad, that unfortunately isn't probably going to happen. I would get the playbook for $100 just to have a spare tablet around, probably let my daughter watch movies on it when we travel, etc... If games come out for it probably get them for her too.
