3fingerbrown Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 $799 is still not a bad deal. (iPad $499 + lic. $300) I would pay it.Exactly, the only comparison in C4's lineup is the 7" portable wi-fi touch screen, which runs $1500. An iPad with the C4 license is much faster (1 ghz processor) more memory, etc. And it can do so much more than be a C4 user interface, you can sit and surf the web, read an e-book, etc.This is a no-brainer. At $1500 for the 7", and $2500 for the 10", the portable C4 touch screens are OFFICIALLY DEAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynechi Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The last update of the iPod app was a fairly big step forward in stability and features. Before it was buggy but worked in a pinch, now its pretty stable and can stay locked on without going to sleep. Put an iPad and a dock in the family room - its going to go just where my unused 10" v1 touchscreen is now sitting (off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaltrader Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 It really surprises me that C4 doesn't make their own software for the iphone and allows a 3rd part to do so. If C4 wants to be in the software biz then they had either buy Control UI or write a native IPAD software interface for 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigrzeye Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Yep $499 for the 16gb $599 for the 32GB $699 for the 54GB add $130 to each if you want 3G capabilitiessee a full blog on the announcement here http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-10440943-260.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Still no multitasking?That was my thought exactly. Why can't Apple get flash and multitasking?The $499 price point is better than I thought it would be. It is still married to crappy iTunes though...

My only guess is with everything else going on - all the updates, the 4store, new products (like the media player), they didn't want to devote the resources to do this in-house. Also, I think it helps them justify charging $300 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe C4 announced that the Control UI iPhone app would be "free" included in your new $9.99 subscription for 4sight.The question at large is whether this platform will be included in this category ?

club411 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 They aren't going to release every option version 1. They want to add the camera and multitasking , ect in version 2, 3, 4 ectThe Control UI app is amazing. I cant wait to use it on the iPad. "The iPad is not as clumsy or as random as a C4 controller. An elegant remote for a more civilized time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my own home, I don't have any touch screens. I do have an iPhone, with the App in demo mode (I don't own a license for that app either because I don't use it) to show customers.

CFUG Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Maybe someone can perfrom the drop-test on a 7"and Apple thing and get back to us with the results. For as much as a bang the 7"WiFi, it seems to built with durability in mind. Can anyone tell me where final assembly on the 7"is done? How about the Apple tablet?
