I got an iPad 1 at launch and I have to say it has and still is quite superb, gently I did a silent audit of it's use over a week and was amazed that we all used it in many different ways, video, homework, shopping channel, reading, Internet, mail, games, music etc all of the family use it every day!

I would get another but have a mac air coming tomorrow. I love apple stuff after years of microsoft sh*t. For me it just.....works.

Finally go down to the shops and bought a 32GB last night.
WOW! Better than I thought it was. I think its uses will be endless.
I have 2 kids and we were all waiting to have a go on it. Late nights starting again i think.

What apps do you all recommend? Bought Sketchbook Pro and it is fantastic.
Let me know your fav apps.

Ive got the motorolla xoom and think its excellent.  Flash player, adobe, SD card, skype and the full raft of google apps such as gmail, calender, docswhich tie into my work as thats what i always use and it all sync automaticaly

It is a fair bit heavier than the Ipad though and the screen slightly smaller, but apart from that it seemed to outspec the ipad everywhere else

Was wondering about getting an iPad.
I have an iMac, MacBook and Iphone.
Has anybody got various "Apple" products and bought the iPad.
Was thinking of getting it to take on holiday next month.

Yes

hi guys
 if my daughter is going to college to do art and design and photography- will the ipad2 be sufficient to do all she needs to do or is it better to go with a good laptop?
ive just been offered one at silly money and i need to get her equipped for college in a few weeks.
 thanks guys
