Another issue I'm having is getting avi files onto the iPad. I know there are apps for playing avi but windows explorer doesn't let me move files to the iPad and iTunes doesn't let me move anything other than mp4 and mov files. Any tips?

If you're watching video at home, AirVideo is amazing. Transcodes and streams video on the fly from your PC over WiFi. I was lucky enough to grab VLC for iOS before they pulled it, so I can play just about anything on the device itself, but that doesn't help you much. If you have another app for playing avi, check in iTunes, Device > Apps > File Sharing. You should be able to drag files into the app there.

In other news, I downloaded a 1080p copy of Drive, and it's fucking crazy how good it looks on this screen. It's like a magic window to another world, sometimes.

Brian - Some of my faves: Aweditorium, Tweetbot, Alien Blue (if you visit reddit), AppShopper, AirVideo, DisplayPad. Don't even get me started on games.

Love this thing so hard. Such a huuuuuge leap over the first gen model.

I second AirVideo. It just works, and amazingly at that. I wish there is a way to disable subtitles (at least I couldn't find a way to do it for certain file types).

I was at a store tonight to check one out and successfully resisted the temptation.

Anyone using iPhoto for iOS and been able to successfully upload a journal to iCloud?

I would like to take everyone on a journey to 2003, when vehicle head units did not come with iPod controls as standard. Does anyone have an FM transmitter to recommend me? There are a few thousand on Amazon. Just tell me which one sucks the least.

No 1/8" jack?

They all suck, Tones. You're better off with a tape deck adaptor. Click click click click

They do kinda suck, the sound quality drops noticeably and they lose whatever magic makes them work after a year or so. I had one that would hijack your shit from the backseat no problem but by the end of it's life I had to basically stand the ipod on it's head in the cupholder pointing at the radio to get a signal.

New ipod-friendly radio would probably run under $100. I should do that, too, I'm juggling CDs in my car like a fucking troglodyte.

I have a CD player that I never ever use. I just put on my iPhone and put it into a cup holder or the little tray by the door so it is a bit louder. If I'm on the highway, I shove it under my seatbelt strap so I can hear it. I really need to buy something with an 1/8 jack.

Fucking lady who bought this car didn't get ANY options. It's a 2007 and doesn't have the jack, heated seats, nothing. I'm glad the old cunt died.
