Having bought one at launch I have to say I am now totally convinced that I made the right descision to buy an iPad. Doing a silent audit at home I realised just how often it gets used by all. Surfing, social media, shopping, reading, gaming, bbc iplayer catch in bed even and I now actually use it as a songbook for both piano and guitar! Most times when I want to use it though someone else is engrossed in it's shiny screen.
I'd say the only mistake I made was getting the 3G for trips away, I have since cancelled the contract, as the iPad never leaves the house. Love the screen but they need to put a non marking coating on the new version.
