Will 4G i-pads be quick enough for IR ?

I read it will be as quick as a home computer on broadband. If this is true the racecourse scene could look very different.

when are they due howard?

End of this year but already up and running in other countries so would have thought someone on here will have come across it.

The new  i-pad on sale now is 4G enabled but we havent got the network yet.

gruss does not run on apple as it neeeds the microsoft net framework

does  any other other 1 click software work on ipad

4g should be with us in the Autumn of this year - will definitely change the in running scene on the racecourses

Don't take for granted that your ipads will work with 4G in the UK. It's adapted for North American 4G, and they don't use the same frequencies for 4G as (many countries) in Europe. But hey there are other computer brands, or maybe Apple will have released a European version by the time you get 4G in the UK.

You are correct.  It will be a gorgeous, sunny day with exciting racing....with a bunch of people staring at pixels.

But it will be amusing to watch people chucking them through the air after their 1.01 real time back gets sunk in a photo

the idiocy of crowds .. a bot's dream come true.

bring it on

Here's an article about what I was saying the other day:

The iPad reminded me of another 'evolution' of how crowds will act as events.  I laugh when people go to concerts and watch the entire event on a small screen.

Actual conversation with musician after a show around four years ago when I was backstage:

"Shapeshifter, what we the attendance tonight?"
"I think it was around 1,200"
"Are you sure?"
"I can get the exact if you want.  Why?"
"Because I seemed to be playing to a bunch of phones"

For Information:

'the use of mobile telephones in connection with any betting activity is not permitted on any uk racecourse'

see the terms and conditions of entry drawn up by the RCA

incredible but true!!

like to see that stand up in court when the racecourses are getting fortunes every meeting allowing people to bet on their laptops to access betting sites

thinly veiled shapeshifter knows someone slightly famous post above

Probably Steve Hillage

yes very quick. I was just in the US, and my friend has 4g on his iPad. He on average got 22meg a second download speeds. It was insanely fast

Take no notice, Shapeshifter. I still treasure your story about Neil Young taking his train set with him on tour.
