Hi Frozzie, Courmet Traveller is another. I will check for you.
-
was just on taste frozzie.....here's the info
http://www.taste.com.au/news+features/articles/3571/the+free+tastecomau+app+is+here
I am busting to open my ipad up on tomorrow morning!......you might get lots of "help me" questions soon :P
......oops...I think it's just for phones :-\ I'm very green at this "i" stuff!
-
I hope this helps, on your iPad there will be a app store button click and at the bottom click on top charts. Then go to lifestyle and browse down and you should see some, just keep on uploading more and you will find some good ones.
I like Super Food Ideas magazine, master chef Australian magazine, can not go by Jamie Oliver Recipes,
Now if you like a magazine can't find it just google name but add app iPad, I did this for Good Food Magazine app iPad , there is robogourmet which is a thermomix one and can't go by Dinner Spinner. Hope I have explained it ok for you. :)
-
another ipad question......can you pay for apps and mags by paypal?
-
Frozzie, made a list but it doesn't want to go to France ;DThermo18 is on the ball. This is what I do. However you might like to join Maggie Beer's club, free , and some very Aussie recipes.
Frozzie and Maddy you are in for the ride of your life.
I wake up very early each morning and search with the iPad while still in bed. When I find a good recipe, I email it to the desktop and then print it off when I get up. My iPad does not have a printing facility as it is iPad 1. Must do something about this ;D
-
Remember that downloading mags takes up megabytes so be sure to keep a watch .

http://www.taste.com.au/ (http://www.taste.com.au/) is a fantastic site that collects and collates the recipes from most of the Australian magazines and is completely searchable using names or ingredients.
I also use Best Recipes www.bestrecipes.com.au (http://www.bestrecipes.com.au) quite a lot and have some of my own recipes on there. (my user name there is Cheydie )

Im in the UK so I have BBC Good Food on my ipad. Its an absolutely brilliant app and I wish all books/magazines were presentedt he same way.

I have downloaded Superfood ideas, master chef and Donna Hay magazines and have links to this forums nd the taste forum on my home screen. A number of the women's weekly recipe books are also available.
-
Excellent thankyou all... iPad in thé morning and tonight also got an iPhone 4s 64g... Woohoo happy camper
Will check out those apps but for thé moment need to sleep as kids up early in the morning... Eeek lol
-
I buy the BBc Good Food as I really love it. I am thinking I may have to think serioiusly about an ipad. Then I will have to convince people I need it. Perhaps when DD's house is built and she takes the computer to her new home. That will be a while as she is still selecting which house she wants to build. :D
-
Wow frozzie who is a spoiled girl then. You will be able to have Face Time with yourself. LO!
Cookie1 give the iPad some serious thought.
Gretch
-
Haha yes very lucky and not expected as already have an iphone but this one is soooooooo much better.., cant wait to Check out thé ipad2...ds is up now just waiting for dd!
-
Dec/Jan issue of Donna Hay magazine is actually free this month to down load to your ipad.
-
Yes you can pay for apps with PayPal, but we prefer to use pre-paid gift cards for budgeting.
So, we fill our account with 2 $50 iTunes gift cards and then we can't overspend.
A friends child spent $180 in one night on apps. Ouch. So the prepaid cards prevent that from happening. :)
I use my iPad in the kitchen every day, but most of that use comes from this forum, Quirky Cooking blog, and the SuperKitchenMachine blog. I do have paid apps, but I don't use them much.
Cookie1 - iPads are so useful. We use them for recipes, reading, watching movies, playing games, and communicating with family via Skype. Go for it! :)

Lovely ladies that have received an ipad for Christmas or already have one: do you need to have a virus protector with your ipad?
DD is working on me to go shares with her in one. I guess I could use it during the day and she could use it at night.
I have my netbook but it is so slow on the internet as it uses dial up.
Thanks in advance.
-
I do not have a virus protector on my iPad so do not know about that.
Do not even think about sharing it. Just won' t happen . Not possible. Can't be done. Do not even look at my iPad. Nope not sharing. Don' t touch it. You will come to harm of you try. There will be tears. IPad envy is a curse. LOL!
Seriously you really do need your own as you will have totally different uses for it and believe me once you have it in your hands your DD will have no hope at all of prying it from you.
I told you not to look a it. :D

Ha,Gert, all too true. Take note Cookie. People laugh as my DH and i both have iPads. They want to know if we skype each other in the morning to say hello. ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Haha very true... Dh is getting à second one next week so we havé one each lol and its only been à day!!
-
Thank you all your messages gave me a chuckle. I have the feeling the ipad will be like our ereaders. We ended up with one each very soon after buying the first one. We're going looking tomorrow as DD has tomorrow off too.
-
Lol dh couldnt even wait until next week... Got à second one tonight :D :D :D
-
Good on him. :D
-
Yup that is the way it goes.

DD bought hers this morning. 3G and wifi. I think I will play with it when she is at work and then for my birthday get one. She has put a pre paid sim card in it which is what I'll do.
-
Great news Cookie. Here I am sitting in an apartment in Hobart, talking to you on my IPad. Mine is an iPad 1, the early model, but with all the things you mention. The Hotel charges $6 an hour to use their facility. It is whizz bang. The only thing it doesn't do is heat , mince and go in reverse ;D
-
Love it.
Are you going to watch some of the yachts come in at Constitution Dock?
-
Hi Chookie, nice to see you have settled in for you holiday there in Tassie. Gee that is an expensive charge from your accommodation - $6 an hour. I paid $4 a day up at Tanunda to connect to their wi-fi :o
-
Cookie, we are right on Constitution Dock. same apartment the last 3 years. Will take a photo once the yachts start arriving. Up at 4.30am, to drive to airport. Bit tired . Going to meet with Cecilia. Looking forward to this. DH mad about the yachts, but Taste of Tasmania is on the next wharf and this is where I will spend part of each day. This is a beautiful city, reminds us of Bergen in Norway.

That is outrageous. You might be better off buying a Telstra data card for the iPad for $30 for 30 days. Most everywhere in the world you can hook in to free wi fi in a bar or restaurant or shopping place but not in Au. I finally got so pissed off I bought a sim card for $ 150 for 12 months with 12 GB but i still search for free wi fi just for fun.
Enjoy the revelry in Hobart chookie.

Chookie that sounds wonderful, I do envy you. Have a wonderful time.
-
Gert, there is no way we would pay this. A real rip off. We have also paid $150 for 12 months of 3G . Seems we can use it anywhere.
-
Thank goodness for that. What a rip off. I hope the beer is cheap!
Gert
-
wow they charge for wifi in oz ??? its free in europe and every hotel etc has it and gives you the connection code when you check in ..all free...doesnt surprise me though oz charges for every little thing!! We just got the wifi model as we have access nearly everywhere and the only time we couldnt is in the car then you would need the g but I cant read the screen in the car anyway ends up making me ill lol
-
I have 3G with my netbook and that is wonderful. Works most places. Not at King's Canyon in Northern Territory and only at Nullabor Station going over the Nullabor.
-
We have the 12 months $120 for both iPads. It is great as you know you will have connection wherever you go ;)
-
Try connecting to wi-fi in Perth hotels. You can only have a 24-hour or a 2-hour block at outrageously expensive prices - $20 for 2 hours!
I go to Macca's as much as possible when away.
So, if I get an iPad, I can still use my own internet network at home, but will need to buy some for when I'm out? Where I live, we can only use the 3G wireless network as there's no broadband here. I'll have to check out what everyone else who has an iPad around here does.
I have internet on my iPhone, but I guess I can cancel that or perhaps transfer it? I don't have a iPad yet, I have to sell my MacBook if I want one...
Also, what does everyone recommend? The biggest Gigs with wi-fi? That's about $895. The only thing I don't like about iPads is no USB ports.
-
I like your new avatar MJ.
-
Meganjane, if you have an iPhone you can sit it next to your iPad and it will sync the 3G to the iPad so no need for you to buy a data card for it. I am not sure if this is advertised but I know it works.
You can beg borrow and steal wi fi from Maccas and others. Next phone I get will be an iPhone for just this reason. Just do not use your iPhone and iPad together when overseas and in roaming mode.
You. An set up you iPhone, iPad and iPod to all use iCloud and they will automatically sync all without going through your computer. Magic.

-
Love the avatar MJ. I think I know what icloud is now. :P Still playing with DD's. At least I can turn it on by myself now. :D
-
I couldn't turn DD's on either Cookie - master 3 showed me though.
-
LOL. They are amazing.
-
be careful of icloud for photos though..you can disable it as anything that you upload on icloud..apple may use as they wish including all of your photos....i dont have icloud enabled on mine for photos..
-
Good point frozzie. In fact don't upload anything from any computer if you do not want it published permanently to the world . Once it is out there you have no control. Thanks for the reminder..
Gretch
-
no prob ;D
-
All that sort of information is gratefully received, thanks. Keep it coming. I need ipad for dummies.
-
Was going to add that same info Frozzie! I actually have iCloud turned off for that reason. I don't want anything inadvertently ending up there and having no control over it. Many people don't realise this as they haven't read the T&C's properly (lets face it who really does!!)
-
All that sort of information is gratefully received, thanks. Keep it coming. I need ipad for dummies.
Nah you don't. We will help ya. But if not I got to tell ya I bought iPad all in one for Dummies. It is 6 books in one and 578 pages so I can always look something up for ya. You can always get some freebie stuff on line and there are lots of cheap books online that will tell you as well as endless on You Tube. Be sure to download Kindle for iPad as books are much cheaper than the ITunes books.
While in the line at Coles this morning the guy in front was reading a book on his iPhone while his kids destroyed all the checkout stuff. I was reading my Kindle and the lady behind me was reading a book on her IPad. Too funny. Got through about three chapters.
