Bought an IPad Mini with Verizon Internet Yesterday from Apple.com


Recommended Posts

I bought the 16 GB White/Silver with Verizon Cellular Model Yesterday on Apple.com. It will Ship in Mid November. This is the first time that I bought a Cellular IPad. Just FYI.

P.S. For those of you who are wondering exactly why I am buying this after recently Financing my IPhone 5 2 months ago, I had an increase in my Social Security Disability Benitfits as a result of becoming a Medicare/Medicaid Dual Eligible (just recently finally took effect) and I got rid of my Secondary Line on Verizon so my Money situation is better now.

Forgot to update this post that I received the IPad Mini on Thursday! Now I am just waiting for Verizon to send me a Sim Card with the Correct Phone Number on it so that I don't have to Deactivate my IPhone 5 to get new Service on the Device. It's supposed to be here no later than Tuesday.

Yes I do, I have been playing around with testing Apple IOS 6.1.0 Beta 2 all Weekend long (since the WIFI + Cellular Builds got posted on the Apple Developer Portal on Friday, or at least that's when it finally showed up on my IOS Developer Page) that I completely forgot to Update this Post that I had received the Verizon Wireless Apple IPad Mini on Thursday Morning by FedEx International Shipping (it Shipped from Foxconn in China as expected). It seems that any new Products on The Apple Store always ship directly from Foxconn, at least until they have their U.S.A. warehouses stocked up with adequate supply. :-)

I would enjoy it more however, if I didn't have to wait until Tuesday Evening to get the Sim Card that Verizon Wireless is sending me so that I don't have to Deactivate my Verizon Wireless Apple IPhone 5 just to get Service with them. Their sending me a New Sim Card since the one Apple sent me with my Apple.com Order did NOT come with an Extra Phone Number to use with the IPad Mini. :-(

By the way, just in case any body is wondering why I did NOT go for either a 4th Gen IPad with Cellular ($629) or a Microsoft Surface ($499), their just plain out of my reach right now with the Holiday's coming up and the fact that my 2010 Mac Mini is most likely NOT going to be able to run Next Year's Apple Mac OS. $459 for a 16 GB Apple IPad Mini seemed just right for me right now. :-)

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
