What are Good speakers for iPad and iPhone?

JLG

I want good speakers I can play my music and iheart radio on. I have a iPad and iPhone I will probably use my iPad more because it has more space on it for my music. Do you know of any good high quality speakers for Less that 100$. Thanks

Answer
I have been using the iMainGo XP for iPad and love it! There is also the iMainGo X and iMainGo 2, which are for iPod/iPhone/iTouch, etc. All of them are a solid speaker system with big sound, and protect your device. I love the duality of having a case that is also a speaker system. I work with them and their products are pretty impressive out of all the speaker systems I've used. The speakers are versatile and work with many other products, including Kindle, notebooks and portable gaming devices (you can even plug in a guitar!).

GOOD LUCK!

I got an iPad 2 for Valentineâs Day. Any ideas for accessories or apps I need?

Alex Winte

I would be remiss for not plugging my speaker system (and case), which I had before the iPad cuz I work with the company. ;) Theyâre made by Portable Sound Labs â the speakers are on Amazon, theyâre really great sound/quality and not a ton of $$$. http://amzn.to/iMainGoXP).

â¦now what ELSE?

Answer
Get a fancy case so you protect your cool ipad! I am big fan of the more-thing.ca collection of ipad case. I have a Shocking series in black - it gives full protection, works as smart cover and kickstand, has a strap for carrying and came with screen protector. the duvet collection is also really nice, u can get 5% off using code luvacekardca and i highly recommend this. they are local based and great store!

White iPad 2?? Seemed Smaller In The Store!?

Rafael

Im getting an iPad on July 16th, so I went to go check at target because im to exited to get it! :(
I really like how the white one looks! ;)
it loos VERY fancy/expensive/proffesional :D
I have used my friends black 1st Generation iPad but for some reason when I went to target I was shoked because it seemed smaller than the 1st iPad :|
I loved how everything looked but it just seemed reallly small!
maybe it just looked small because there was a clear case covering it and maybe had some sort of thing that made it look smaller, idk?
well I really wanted to know if they have the same screen size and the same measurments around the iPad like length X Width? I know that the iPad 2 is skinnier but im talking about the measurments AROUND the Ipad?
also it would be great if you can give me any important information about the iPad 2. Or what color you think is better and why?
Thank you! :)

Answer
*Thinner, lighter, and full of great ideas.
Once you pick up iPad 2, itâll be hard to put down. Thatâs the idea behind the all-new design. Itâs 33 percent thinner and up to 15 percent lighter, so it feels even more comfortable in your hands.2 And it makes surfing the web, checking email, watching movies, and reading books so natural, you might forget thereâs incredible technology under your fingers.


*Dual-core A5 chip. Itâs fast, times two.
Two powerful cores in one A5 chip mean iPad can do twice the work at once. Youâll notice the difference when youâre surfing the web, watching movies, making FaceTime video calls, gaming, and going from app to app to app.

*Superfast graphics. Go, gamers, go.
With up to nine times the graphics performance, gameplay on iPad is even smoother and more realistic. And faster graphics help apps perform better â especially those with video.


*Battery life keeps on going. So you can, too.
Even with the new thinner and lighter design, iPad has the same amazing 10-hour battery life.1 Thatâs enough juice for one flight across the ocean, or one movie-watching all-nighter, or a weekâs commute across town. The power-efficient A5 chip and iOS keep battery life from fading away, so you can get carried away.


*Two cameras, for face in HD

*LED-backlit display. The view is amazing.
iPad is one big, beautiful display â 9.7 inches of high-resolution photos, movies, web pages, books, and more. LED backlighting makes everything you see remarkably crisp, vivid, and bright. Even in places with low light, like an airplane. And thereâs no wrong way to hold iPad. Itâs designed to show off everything in portrait and landscape, so with every turn (even upside down), the display adjusts to fit.

Multi-Touch.
Everythingâs at your fingertips.
Technology is at its best when it feels completely natural, almost like thereâs no technology at all. Thatâs Multi-Touch on iPad. You use your fingers to do everything, so everything you do â surfing the web, typing email, reading books, and swiping through photos â is easier and a lot more fun. How does it work? When your fingers touch the display, it senses them using electrical fields. Then it instantly transforms your taps, swipes, pinches, and flicks into lifelike actions. Just like that.



iOS 4. The worldâs most advanced mobile operating system.


*Instant On.
The fun starts fast.
Pick up your iPad, press the Home button, and it wakes from sleep instantly.


*Wi-Fi and 3G.
Two great ways to stay connected.
Every iPad is built with advanced 802.11n wireless technology. It automatically finds Wi-Fi networks, which you can join with a few taps. iPad is also available with 3G connectivity on either AT&T or Verizon Wireless networks.


*With the built-in accelerometer, you can rotate iPad to portrait or landscape, or even upside down, and whatever youâre watching, reading, or seeing adjusts to fit the display. And now the accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope, and compass all work together..


AirPlay

Video Mirroring
AirPlay.
Your movie-photo-music stream.
All the great stuff on your iPad â your music, photos, and video â can now stream wirelessly to your HDTV and speakers via AirPlay-enabled speakers or Apple TV on a Wi-Fi network.7 With just a tap on the AirPlay icon


*Video mirroring.
What you do is what they see.
Video mirroring is new for iPad and for every app, web page, presentation, video, movie, or photo you want to show a big audience. Just plug in the Apple Digital AV Adapter or Apple VGA Adapter (sold separately) and your HDTV or projector becomes a bigger version of your iPad.

*AirPrint. Print everything wirelessly.
Print your email, photos, web pages, and documents right from your iPad over Wi-Fi.8 Thereâs no software to download, no drivers to install, and no cables to connect. With just a few taps, you can go from viewing something on the iPad screen to holding a printed copy.



The screen is the same size, the just made it thinner and lighter.
Dimensions9.56 x 7.47 x 0.5 inches (ipad) 9.5 x 7.31 x 0.34 inches (ipad 2)
Screen- same size for both ipads.

GO FOR THE BLACK IPAD 2!!! WHITE HAS MANY DRAWBACKS:
1) screen will look dimmer (having a white image will cause to turn up brightness for less battery)
2) Images on the ipad will look in less resolution (When you watch movies or tv it looks better when in a dark room, and the white around the screen will draw the images back) (thats why TVS have black around the screen)
3) it will reflect more sunlight
4) dirt and grime will be more visible
5) white apple products seems to have worse screen cracks and leaks.

Does this Sonos speaker setup work?

nthep

I am undergoing a remodel and am going to have walls and ceilings opened up. So, I was going to putter a better whole house system. Initially, I was going to put in just a new dual zone receiver, a monster speaker selector, and the impedence switches in a few rooms and try to connect the house in this way.

All of this was going to run to 2 pairs of Polk RC8's ceiling speakers and 1 pair of external speakers.

I had read about the Sonos system and dismissed it initially, but am now intrigued by the WiFi, iPad, iPhone control of it. I have some questions as a result though.

I am considering the Sonos ZP120 to provide the amp as well and would like to keep the Polk ceiling setup. My questions are:

* Would I need more than ZP120 to run 3 pairs of the 8ohm speakers?
* If I did have more than one ZP120 for some reason, is the idea that they "speak" to eachother and that is why I can control different speakers in different rooms from one interface ?
* Doesn't it seem redundent to have more than one ZP120 with a multi-speaker setup when many people will just be after the additional amp and not really the CPU/control? I don't understand this part.
* If I want to pump the audio from a DVD playing through my TV system through the house (maybe a concert DVD), how would that work?

Thanks,
Tim

Answer
The Sonos system is proprietary and will not work with other speaker systems only other sonos systems also it is wireless and you do not need to place the speakers or wires in the wall...I would take a look at systems by HTD (Home Theater Direct) for wired systems and Grace Audio for wireless...Wireless is still very expensive though and doesn't mix well with wired and wireless in the same system.... anther item you might take a look at for wireless is the Soundcast SC 100 this system will allow you to use regular 8 ohm speakers like the polk you have but wireless, I would think very carefully before getting into wireless though because its expensive and has not been perfected especially if your looking for the same quality you can get out of a wired system....wireless is prone to interference from microwave ovens; cell phones etc..and the quality of sound is still not as good as wired except for the most expensive systems....and then its only as good as an average sounding wired system...

What sound system to go with these speakers?

Chris Mcco

I have just purchased and installed 4 x 100w 8ohm recessed ceiling speakers to a domestic kitchen. However I am unsure what system to wire them in to. Can anyone recommend a good system on the market? I would like something with a wireless connection so that I can play music from my iPad/phone without the need of aux cables, but this is cost dependant.

Any help is greatly appreciated, apologies for my vagueness!

Answer
Wireless i-pad is not really compatable with the speaker system you have; afordable wireless usually uses low power amplifiers driving very efficent speakers over wifi, because of cost; to drive those speakers to acceptable levels is going to require some amplifier power behind them; what you could do is wire the speakers to a regular receiver or amplifier then use a product like the Grace Digital GDI-IRA 500 or an Apple Air Port express... to achieve wireless, but you still have compatibility issues with the ipad ...another route would be to use something like the Soundcast SCS 100 which is good for 2 speakers , you may need an additional modual for 4 speakers though and a receiver that is air play compatable or you could get a modern receiver that is air play compatable..and hard wire the speakers to an airplay receiver....or just a regular stereo receiver and an air port express modual....all hard wired together but the connection to your I-pad or I phone would be wireless....

how can i listen to ipad's contents through surround sound system connected to tv using apple tv?

tortilla2g

I was able to configure apple tv and can play music from my library and mirror ipad/ipod through my tv. My tv is connected to a receiver via hdmi cable (hdmi 1) and then to my surround sound speakers. I have to connect apple tv to another hdmi port (hdmi 2). so how can i listen to apple tv through my surround sound speakers?

Answer
All of your devices (cable box, dvd player, apple tv, etc) should be plugged into the receiver via HDMI inputs, then the HDMI output of the receiver should go to the TV. If you configure it like this, then you can easily switch between your various sources on your receiver and it will send the video to the TV and audio to the speakers.

Where can i find information about Ipad history?

Dawn

I am doing a project and need information about the history of ipads. I searched and all i could find is wikipedia that has very little information that may not be realiable. I need more information and maybe more reliable, thanks.

Answer
This is an edited version the description of the iPad


Apple's first tablet computer was the Newton MessagePad 100, introduced in 1993, which led to the creation of the ARM6 processor core with Acorn Computers. Apple also developed a prototype PowerBook Duo-based tablet, the PenLite, but decided not to sell it in order to avoid hurting MessagePad sales. Apple released several more Newton-based PDAs; the final one, the MessagePad 2100, was discontinued in 1998.

Apple re-entered the mobile-computing market in 2007 with the iPhone. Smaller than the iPad but featuring a camera and mobile phone, it pioneered the multitouch finger-sensitive touchscreen interface of Apple's iOS mobile operating system. By late 2009, the iPad's release had been rumored for several years. Such speculation mostly talked about "Apple's tablet"; specific names included iTablet and iSlate. The iPad was announced on January 27, 2010, by Steve Jobs at an Apple press conference at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

Jobs later said Apple began developing the iPad before the iPhone, but temporarily shelved the effort upon realizing that its ideas would work just as well as a mobile phone

The iPad's touchscreen display is a 9.7 in (25 cm) liquid crystal display (1024 Ã 768 pixels) with fingerprint-resistant and scratch-resistant glass. Steve Jobs backed the choice of screen size, saying a 7-inch screen would be "too small to express the software." He said 10 inches was the minimum for a tablet screen.[29] Like the iPhone, the iPad is designed to be controlled by bare fingers; normal gloves and styli that prevent electrical conductivity may not be used, although there are special gloves and capacitive styli designed for this use. The display responds to two other sensors: an ambient light sensor to adjust screen brightness and a 3-axis accelerometer to sense iPad orientation and switch between portrait and landscape modes. Unlike the iPhone and iPod touch built-in applications, which work in three orientations (portrait, landscape-left and landscape-right), the iPad built-in applications support screen rotation in all four orientations (the three aforementioned ones along with upside-down),[33] meaning that the device has no intrinsic "native" orientation; only the relative position of the home button changes.
In total there are four physical switches on the iPad, including a home button below the display that returns the user to the main menu, and three plastic physical switches on the sides: wake/sleep and volume up/down, plus a third which, as of iOS 4.2, acts as a mute switch. Initially this switch was utilized to lock out the screen rotation function (reportedly to prevent unintended rotation when the user is lying down). However, with the iOS 4.2 update, this functionality was removed and rotation lock is now controlled with a software toggle via the iOS task switcher. There is no means to reassign the physical switches functionality in the official iOS release.

The iPad can use Wi-Fi network trilateration from Skyhook Wireless to provide location information to applications such as Google Maps. The 3G model contains A-GPS to allow its position to be calculated with GPS or relative to nearby cellphone towers; it also has a black plastic accent on the back side to improve 3G radio sensitivity.

For wired connectivity, the iPad has a proprietary Apple dock connector; it lacks the Ethernet and USB ports of larger computers.

The iPad has two internal speakers that push mono sound through two small sealed channels to the three audio ports carved into the bottom-right of the unit. A volume switch is on the right side of the unit.
A 3.5-mm TRS connector audio-out jack on the top-left corner of the device provides stereo sound for headphones with or without microphones and/or volume controls. The iPad also contains a microphone that can be used for voice recording.

The built-in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR interface allows wireless headphones and keyboards to be used with the iPad. However, the iOS does not currently support file transfer via Bluetooth. iPad also features 1024 x 768 VGA video output for limited applications, [38]screen capture,[39] connecting an external display or television.

The iPad uses an internal rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery (LiPo). The batteries are made in Taiwan by Simplo Technology, which makes 60% of them, and Dynapack International Technology. The iPad is designed to be charged with a high current (2 amperes) using the included 10 W USB power adapter. While it can be charged by a standard USB port from a computer, these are limited to 500 milliamperes (half an amp). As a result, if the iPad is turned on while connected to a normal USB computer port, it may charge much more slowly, or not at all. High-power USB ports found in newer Apple computers and accessories provide full charging capabilities.
