How does this compare to the Safari? I have a Safari and love it

Its basically the safari, with an aluminum body, depending on what kind of nib you had chosen with the safari, if you had always used extra fine with the safari then this pen basically feels the same in terms of being a little more scratchy than a fine and more so then a medium nib. Depending on your preferences this pen may be better or worse, some people prefer the hard plastic feel of the safari but i personally like the nice cold aluminum that encompasses this pen, it almost feels a little thinner than the safari exterior, and may scratch a little easier, but i still like this more than the safari none the less.

I have both. the safari is a lot lighter and made of plastic. the al star is all metal/aluminum and heavier. the difference is only the weight and material.

Almost identical to the Safari except for the aluminum body; same weight, size, uses same nibs and cartridges. The finish is gorgeous, although it scratches a little more easily than the plastic Safari.

Exactly like the Safari except it is aluminum instead of plastic. I like it a lot.

i have med . love it but ... for a safari go military or canvas . kwugtt is right not the toughest bags on the market . great for the gym,camping or light travels . big difference when you handle it vs the airlines !

Downloads apps fairly fast. The browser works well. It comes in a nice box, with a nice charger, and a pair of headphones. That is the good.The badIt charges slow, the apps have a little bit of lag, especially games. Mine broke soon after I got it, the newer model may be better. I hope this answers your question.

Absolutely, you will love it. It is small and fast, but I bought 2 of them one silver and one black. I liked the silver one the best. I took it to my Apple Store and even the Apple geeks liked it. Enjoy.

You're correct. After a lot of use.... i still like my unit, it works strong and everything, but the interface.... sucks. Along with that, after a year, im still trying to get webaccess to work fully. I would recommend keeping an open eye and getting this one solely because its on a good deal

I own the apple iphone 4 8gb and love it. apple put out the ios 7 updates for everyone and that was pretty cool. The updates have made it easier to get quick access to the calander, calculator, music and they give you a flashlight. Once in the phone, the looks is sleek and they have added a radio to the itunes (i think this is to compete with pandora.) I haven't had any experiance with the new stuff, but I literally use my iphone for everything....camera, phone, music, calander, calculator, notebook, read books off of it, texting, facetime, alarm clock, timer....there is nothing i would change about it and am hesitant to upgrade next summer because i love it so much.

I upgraded after purchasing my Twist. The upgrade was free. So far so good -- except that I still hate Windows 8 in all its forms. If you play computer games the touch screen can be useful (and fun), but for work it's mostly just annoying. On the other hand, it looks as if it will be the only option for at least a while. If you want the technology, buy the Apple version.

Yes, I now have a wireless router at home and I am able to use my safari browser with no problem. I have grabbed some ebooks from the webapps thru apple when I am using my safari browser on the itouch, there is a decent selection and I am sure it will grow as time goes on.I am glad the information was helpful:)

I loved it. Did everything I asked of it. I used it mostly for travel before I got my iPad. Compared to the iPad it is HEAVY.

I bought the Canon X50 HS about a year ago, hoping to go to Africa for a photo safari. The trip got put off but the camera didn't. I took a class with it, in which I was the only student with a non-SLR. I found it to support all the features my teacher suggested we try and learn.I really like the camera, and with me being a photo newbie, it was easily introduced. My other camera is also a Canon (smaller - for bike trips). It supports a good subset of features, and the menues are the same as for the SX50 HS, so swapping between them is easy.I find the SX50 HS very easy to carry, easy to use; good for finding candids. It still supports more creativity than I have! I bought the Canon X50 HS about a year ago, hoping to go to Africa for a photo safari. The trip got put off but the camera didn't.

Since the ipad air is the only version I've owned I can't compare it with the older versions. I can say though that I think it is worth the price I paid. It's very light to handle and the visual quality is excellent. The advantage of picking up an older version is probably price. If you don't watch many videos it would not probably matter so much.

Not really, it will show up but mobile safari on both the iPhone and iPad could not run the pages without crashing. But an android with chrome very well may be able to, just make sure you have a fallback (PC or Mac) to use just in case.

I love mine, there is some getting used to but I think you will like it. The one I bought off amazon was nothing like the one in the picture, but they refunded me and I bought one from the apple store and love it

I can't give you a direct comparison. I can tell you I purchased the Excite 13.3 and returned it, instead buying an Ipad 2. I encourage you to check out the following link: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/06/hands-on-toshiba-excite-13/ The problem described in the article was the EXACT problem I had with mine. Toshiba refused to assist with it. Suffice it to say I was not impressed with the screen resolution or brightness at all.

I have an iPad, iPhone, macpro laptop and now Apple all in one PC. I love it. The color is great. All the Apple products are user friendly. And I prefer email through their "Entourage" over Outlook.
