Product Description
Apple iPad Wi-Fi is a magical and revolutionary product at an unbelievable price and the best way to experience the web, email, photos, and video.All of the built-in apps on iPad are designed from the ground up to take advantage of the large multi-touch screen and advanced capabilities of iPad. And they work in any orientation. So you can do things with these apps that you can't do on any other device.The high-resolution, 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS display on iPad is remarkably crisp and vivid. Which makes it perfect for web browsing, watching movies, or viewing photos. With iPad, there is no up or down. It's designed to show off your content in portrait or landscape orientation with every turn. And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture, with excellent color and contrast.The multi-touch screen on iPad is based on the same revolutionary technology on iPhone. But the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger iPad surface, making it extremely precise and responsive. So whether you're zooming in on a map, flicking through your photos, or deleting an email, iPad responds with incredible accuracy. And it does just what you want it to.One of the first things you'll notice about iPad is how thin and light it is. The screen is 9.7 inches measured diagonally. So overall, it's slightly smaller than a magazine. You can use it anywhere. And a slight curve to the back makes it easy to pick up and comfortable to hold.With built-in 802.11n, iPad takes advantage of the fastest Wi-Fi networks. It automatically locates available Wi-Fi networks, which you can join with a few taps. iPad also comes with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, letting you connect to devices like wireless headphones or the Apple wireless keyboard.

User Reviews
Great product 
I am in sales, in home sales with home improvement products. Originally, I purchased the iPad to use for this purpose.I have multiple power point presentations,that also have videos linked to several slides, the iPad handles all of this very well. The biggest benefit for me is not carrying a laptop around,and not having to carry cords and all the delays from booting up and then waiting on p point to load.it has been absolutely a wonderful tool.
As a bonus the games and navigation apps are incredible on this.
After having mine for 2 weeks, my wife decided she needed one for herself. She uses hers for educational apps for our grandchildren. She has been amazing, helping them learn and they are really enjoying it.
The iPad is a wonderful tool , no telling what the future of these will lead to.
For e mail and online activity, you can not beat the speed and the ability to use it anywhere.
The only downside is....you have to buy one, no one offered to give me one. Thats the only way it could be any better :2012-01-23 18:08:18
After several months, now my constant companion
At first I was excited to get this magical and
evolutionary gadget. Then reality crept in, and for a while it seemed like I had purchased a very overpriced netbook without a keyboard. But with the Kindle app for reading and Netflix for movies, it was really great for those two uses. And then more apps came on board, iTalk for recording meetings, Goodreader for opening all those different file formats, Atomic web browser with all the features missing from Mobile Safari, plus more. And the games. All those games. My PS3, Wii, Xbox, and PSP are collecting dust. Games on the iPad are great, getting better, and relatively cheap, usually under five bucks, compared to fifty or sixty for console games.
There came a day when I realized that I hadn touched my netbook or laptop for weeks. I still lugged the netbook around, mostly out of habit, but I never used it. Things were easier on the iPad. And faster, overall--I could turn on the iPad, load an app like Mail or Facebook or weather and be done with it, and have the iPad back in the bag in the same time it would take my netbook to completely wake up not just for Windows to show up, but to get to where I could actually run a program. Plus, the iPad seems to have endless battery life. Plug it in every few days, and its fine. Ive become used to seeing 5% battery left and not instantly saving everything and looking for an electrical outlet. 5% is plenty of time. Also, if I have to type something long, which the iPad is pretty poor for, you know what? I use my desktop computer. There isn really a use when my laptop is a better choice than either the iPad or my
eal computer. But I have big fingers, so I find the keyboard on my netbook to be only slightly less useless than the iPads virtual one, and my laptop to be a poor substitute for the full-sized keyboard on my desktop.
The only things I don like about the iPad after using it for these many months are: The weight. About half the weight would be good. And the AT&T 3G. It is essentially useless where I live. I unsubscribed and turned it off for good after about a month of frustration. If and when theres a Verizon 3G iPad, Ill think very seriously about getting one.
Overall, I love it. I use it constantly. Ive heard similar stories from other people: neat toy for a few days, then buyers remorse, then it just sneaks into your life and the next thing you know, you can live without it. :2012-01-23 18:08:00
Awesome product
I am a PC user, a grad student and professional accountant. I have a nice PC, and an iPhone, but I have never owned a laptop. I needed something with some portability that would allow me to have a good e-reader, do some light Excel and Word document editing, and some internet browsing around the house. I have an infant son and it is not convenient to always have to be in the office doing things that I can now do downstairs on this unit.
This is amazing. I have a router that is at least 5 years old and I haven had any problems with the iPad or my year old iPhone 3GS. It works remarkably similar to the iPhone, except it is obviously bigger. I have PDF textbooks for class and it was simple to email them to myself, open and save them in iBooks. There were no formatting errors, nor was there any for .doc files that I converted into Pages. It was much simpler than I imagined. Actually, until I looked closer at buying this, I didn even realize I had the option to convert .doc and .xls files into usable files on any Mac unit, so that was the clincher for me. The internet is very fast and easy to navigate. I synced it with iTunes, had my PDFs, a few .doc files imported, email set up, some music and photos transferred within 30 minutes and I did some homework on it.
As an afterthought, I have a huge collection of sheet music that I am going to scan into PDF format and transfer to the unit. I can just set the unit on my music stand; the back light will serve me well.
This is a near perfect unit. I got the 16 gig wifi unit because I already have a big music archive on my iphone, I don need my entire photo archive with me everywhere I go and if I am going to watch something while traveling, a few good episodes of the Simpsons will be fine. I will probably just read on it anyway. If you have an ipod or iphone I don understand why you would need 3G and a huge storage space. This is a great supplementary computer for me and having used it for a little bit I know a MacBook will be my next purchase.
Also, the bluetooth keyboard works great. Wall Street Journal app is incredible too. The only problem with Apple are the huge lines and wait times while at their retail stores.
I read a lot of reviews and I have not yet experienced the Wifi connectivity problems that others have complained about. Like I said I have an old rabbit ear style router, and it is upstairs. I have been using the iPad downstairs, on the far end of the house and I am getting full bars. It is heavy to hold, but I have found that there are many convenient spots to prop it on. Im afraid to say that there isn much to dislike on this. This does seem like the Wii for computers though. Very easy to access for all ages and technical ability. :2012-01-23 18:07:44
Lush display and sleek, extremely chic
I have never used an Apple Product before. I am a software engineer but have never worked on a MAC. I was looking for a device to read text books in pdf format. I was looking for a device with at least 9.7 display. The Plastic Logic device doesn seem to be coming out any time soon and I wasn sure about the Iliad. I was on the edge between the Kindle DX and the Ipad. I checked out the ipad and looked at some pdfs and was concerned about the display size, practicality of zooming in every time and prolonged reading on a back lit screen.
After much deliberation and research I bought the Ipad. I unpacked the box at around 4pm. I couldn put down the device until 2 am! It took all of 5 minutes to connect to my 802.11B Linksys router it negotiates the WEP/WAP, key number and simply expected the Password/Key that I had used for security. I have worked on many high end LCD monitors but I have never seen a display so plush! My jaw literally dropped when I saw Magazine covers on zino its a free app. The choice of applications on iTunes is mind boggling. At first I was sceptical about watching movies at this size. But the Netflix app rendering is so smooth, I felt like I was watching at 1080p on some high end SONY Bravia. Wall Street Journal , although expensive, is laid out so well that if other papers followed suit, it will bring the demise of their physical circulation immediately.
Battery life is another thing that is so surprising. I had the device on, almost constantly, for almost 10 hours, and the level fell barely to 80%.
Finally what really blew me away, is the finger swipe movement. I have never used an Ipod touch or Iphone before, so this was new to me. It is extraordinarily accurate and smooth and beats 20 years of Mouse development! The virtual keyboard is perfectly sensitive.
Oh, and yes, I downloaded the GoodReader app and finally got around to reading my pdf text books. The screen is a bit small for reading text books with tables and network diagrams, but the pdf reader has a great margin-crop feature. Using this feature in landscape mode, with constant zoom, reading the most complex pdf becomes a breeze. The screen is so sharp and bright that eye strain is minimal.
This is definitely the Ferrari of electronic devices :2012-01-23 18:07:25
Endless entertainment
The ipad seems to be the device that you either love or love to hate. Ive never really owned many apple products and have always been more of a PC guy, but I decided to try the ipad out and have now owned the 16GB Wifi version for 3 months. There has not been a day that I have not used it... I guess that means I would have to be counted in the love it group.
Yes, the ipad has its flaws - which undoubtedly have been covered in great detail in the other 150+ reviews, so I won go into much detail about them. Yes, I wish it could handle Flash, multitasking which will be added with iOS4 this Fall, and it could definitely use a camera or 2. Yes, its basically a big ipod touch and a netbook would be more powerful, more capable, and seem to make more sense.
Despite these short-comings, the ipad has a convenience factor about it that makes it extremely appealing. Being able to pick up the device and have it turn completely on in about 1 second is something no netbook or computer can offer. Being able to lay in bed and hold the ipad like a book while surfing the web, watching movies, playing games, reading magazines, putting together a document for work, shopping, etc. is fantastic and just wouldn be the same on the tiny screen of an ipod touch or while having a netbook laying on your stomach. Perhaps soon some android tablets will offer what the ipad does and more, but as of yet, no other tablet/netbook even comes close to offering the convenience and appeal that the ipad offers. The interface is extremely smooth and Ive become addicted to shopping in the curated app store. Its much easier to navigate and find apps than in the cluttered android marketplace. Ive even found that I love some of the games offered - something I never imagined myself using the ipad for.
As for the Wifi vs 3G debate, I can only say that Im pleased I went with Wifi because it rarely leaves my house. Even if I do take it somewhere else, there is usually Wifi available and if not and I need 3G access somewhere, I have my phone. Im equally happy I went with 16GB, because I haven even come close to filling it up even with a medium sized music/video library and tons of apps.
As for the ipad vs a kindle - Ive owned both the DX and ipad. I love both, but find myself using the ipad more just because of the wide variety of things to do. The kindle does have the advantage of the e-ink screen. If my eyes feel ired or if Im in sunlight, the kindle is definitely what I reach for. Ive found myself using the kindle app on the ipad a ton though. Its fantastic that I can buy books from amazon and keep my kindle library on the ipad. I do wish amazon would sell magazines through their kindle app like they do on the kindle though. There are other options on the ipad like Zinio, but I feel its an area that amazon could really thrive in.
A device that I haven been able go a day in the last 3 months without picking up for hours on end deserves no less than 5 stars in my mind. The ipad hasn replaced my computer, but it has opened up a new area in my life that I don think I could go without now... okay, I could but I don want to. I use it for so many things that I try not to think about those dark days before the ipad came along :2012-01-23 18:07:05
Am I An Elitists Because I Love My iPad
Bottom-Line: So far the iPad 64GB Wi-Fi has more than lived up to my expectations and I have no regrets concerning my decision to buy one.
The Apple iPad. Those of us who own one have recently been called less than flattering names for daring to use it and enjoying the experience! For me the device fulfills several different functions I have been meaning to purchase in separate devices, like an e-book reader, portable music player for my master bedroom, and electronic photo frame. Why buy all three of those devices when the Apple iPad does all three functions in one neat silver albeit expensive package?
I was enamored with the Apple iPad the moment is was announced because I saw the potential in the portable e-book reader that not only offered more memory than any other device on the market, but also offered up a full color widescreen display, Wi-Fi or 3G wireless, access to hundreds of applications, a web browser, music player, GPS address book, calendar, e-mail reader.
I know, I know, it lacks support for Adobe Flash as a fellow iPad elitists recently pointed out, but I don miss it. There has only been one instance where I could not play a video on my iPad 64GB Wi-Fi; that to me does not constitute a crisis, nor does it diminish the considerable functionality the device brings to the hand. And, I know, I know, the device does not multi-task, but the iPad 64GB Wi-Fi is not a computer it is an e-book reader that also does other functions. I have a laptop and desktop if I want to multi-task.
The iPad 64GB Wi-Fi Facts
The Ultra-Portable, 1.5lbs 1.6lbs if 3G is installed iPad 64GB Wi-Fi is a simple device with very few moving parts. The power button sits on the top of the device on the right, while a standard 3.5mm headphone jack is situated on the far left. Along the right edge of the 0.5 thick iPad youll find the screen lock and volume control switches, while the bottom of the 9.56 long device is reserved for speakers and the USB/power port. The USB port is proprietary so, no, you cannot plug a USB memory stick into it, but with the provided cord you can plug it into your computer and into an outlet to recharge the device.
The silver-bodied iPad can be had with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of memory, and all iterations are fitted with a 1GHz Apple A4 custom-designed, high performance, low-power processor. Internet connectivity is through either Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, and or 3G UMTS/HSDPA 850, 1900, 2100 MHz and GSM/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz. Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR is also provided.
The 9.7-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen multi-touch color display offers 1024x768 resolution and can display multiple languages and characters simultaneously. The Ipad is fitted with an ambient light sensor and the device supports 576p and 480p with Apple Component AV Cable; 576i and 480i with Apple Composite AV Cable and 1024x 768 with Dock Connector to VGA adapter.
First Impressions
I really, really, really, like my new Apple iPad 64GB Wi-Fi. Naysayers aside this thing is cool and I am happy to own one and even take it out in public like I did today! I love being able to take my favorite books with me when I am on the go, and I have the ability to stop at a Wi-Fi hotspot and plugging into the Internet in order to read the latest news, get the weather, run an application, etc.
iBooks the e-book reader that is specially designed to work with the iPad is not preloaded unto the device, I had to download it from the iTunes Store; not a big deal. Once downloaded e-books can be download either directly through iBooks or via iTunes.
When I connect the iPad 64GB Wi-Fi to my computer and launch iTunes, it automatically syncs the two transferring any e-books I may have bought into iTunes. Conversely, any e-books I purchase via iTunes are synced with the iPad automatically.
Hands down, the Apple iPad 64GB Wi-Fi is a performance winner, and one heck of an e-book reader! Yes, the entrance fee 699.00 for the Wi-Fi 64GB; hey its $100.00 more to add 3G, but I think it is well worth the cost. I wanted 64GB in order to have room to download app, music, e-books, and images without concern about running out of space. This is especially true since you cannot add memory to the iPad.
So far the iPad 64GB Wi-Fi has more than lived up to my expectations and I have no regrets concerning my decision to buy one. Who needs flash, my NPR videos play just fine thank you! :2012-01-23 18:06:48
I use it every day
When I first wanted the iPad everyone I knew said the same thing, Isn it really just a bigger iPhone? Well, no but, at the same time, yes. That was perfect for me. Each time I used my iPhone I thought, I wish this was bigger so I could do more. Much like any time that I used my Kindle and would think, If only the web interface was better and this was in color. If only it was faster. The iPad filled all of those needs.
My Kindle was sold on eBay with in days of the iPads arrival. My laptop suddenly spent days sitting idle and untouched as my iPad took its place as my primary mode of web browsing. Magazine subscriptions were halted as I waited patiently for iPad versions. I could not be happier with publications like Vanity Fair and the New Yorker.
I did buy a case and the Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad. I found that these items added to the functionality and enabled me to get even more from the iPad. I chose the option with 3G because, so often, when I had my Kindle and iPhone out in the world, I took advantage of the Internet access. I did not want to have to rely on the existence of free or pay-as-you-go Wi-Fi.
Heres a quick run-down of my impressions and how I rate each user experience.
+ Web browsing - 5 stars
It is wonderful to be able to sit back and read a long article without craning my neck to look at the monitor. The only downside is that I now spend a lot more time browsing the web than my pre-iPad self did.
+Reading eBooks - 5 stars
I have owned a Kindle and a Sony Reader. While I understand the benefits of e-ink, I have to say that they are a bit overstated. Yes, it is nice not to consume so little power and not have to deal with a back-lit screen to some extent. However, unlike my laptop or computer monitor, the iPad screen does not bother my eyes even after prolonged periods of reading. Also, it is terrific to be free from an external lighting source on airplanes or in bed. With the e-ink devices, I often felt that the glare from any of the booklights I tried was distracting and difficult on my eyes. I do not have that problem with the iPad. All of my Kindle books are just as enjoyable on the Kindle for iPad app. Its easy to use and the highlighting and dictionary features are even more useful without having to use the clumsy interface to navigate the Kindle screen.
+Outdoor use - 3 stars
The screen is much tougher to see outdoors. Its almost unusable in many cases. Since I wear polarized sunglasses, I have to turn the screen to horizontally to even see it. If I have them on and have the screen in portrait mode, it is totally black. This is not a big problem for me since I don really take an eBooks to the beach and rarely find myself in full sunlight wishing I could search the web. It is fine in even slight shade so sidewalk cafes are still an option.
+Business use - 5 stars
The calendar and contacts on the iPad are much more useful to me than those on the iPhone. Having a larger screen makes the calendar feature much easier to use if you are navigating a day full of appointments. I was awestruck when I first opened it after years of trying to get by with a Blackberry or an iPhone. I also downloaded an app that allows me to store and read PDFs. This was inexpensive and made keeping track of everything from whitepapers to meeting notes much easier. I am anti-paper and this device really allowed me to put away all of my paper notebooks and avoid printing for weeks at a time. I also have two mind map applications that are excellent for brainstorming and developing the top-level outline for a new project.
+Movies Netflix - 5 stars
The clarity is amazing - even when I am on the 3G network. Ive also downloaded videos from the iTunes store and they are just as perfect. If it was possible to give it 500 stars, I might be so inclined. :2012-01-23 18:06:28
My IPad 64 with WiFi and G3
Addendum Dec. 13th 2010...Comments on new IOS operating sys. for IPad
The Big Three improvements:
1. Multitasking...you can do split screens BUT you can close one operation or several if you wish, open another and then go back to the originals and open it/them to the same page you were working on. VERY convenient!
2. Folders...great to organize different categories of apps and will allow you to reduce IPad screen clutter of the huge number of apps that most of us will collect over time.
3. Mobile-me. This is now a FREE feature of IPad with the new Operating System...use to be a paid yearly subscription $99/year. With this you can find your lost IPad on your home PC or Mac, and once Mobile-me is alerted, your IPad will beep in about 15-20 minutes. It will even allow you to REMOTELY WIPE YOUR IPAD MEMORY, so sensitive info can be deleted, if needed!
There are several other improvements, most of which don concern me as much as the 3 mentioned above.
My original review...
Some thoughts after having used my Ipad 64 for about 1 month.
Some but by no mean all of the things I appreciate:
1. the large, high resolution, touch screen on an extremely thin idevice.
2. the CONVENIENCE...all because of the portability and the ability to connect ANYWHERE to the internet, locally with WiFi or globally with G3. Allowing me to travel and yet do all the things Id normally do at home. i.e. check e-mail, pay bills and surf.
3a. the Itunes set-up...making it easy with an Itunes account to buy apps, music, videos, books, movies etc.
3b. the Itunes set-up...making it easy to copy, back-up and sync your Ipad with your computer at home...for example, allowing you the make copies of everything you buy from Itunes and even books etc. you may buy from Ibooks or Kindle...this means that if youve finished your book or don need an App any more, you can delete it from your IPad, but its still available to you on your computer if you should need to reinstall it again to your IPad. You can also copy all bookmarks from your pc/mac to the IPad Safari browser as well as e-mail addresses from your computer to your IPad even if you use a hotmail account.
4. the ease with which I was able to sync my Apple wireless Keyboard via the bluetooth available on the IPad...done in less than 1 minute.
5. the ability to adjust the font size so you won even need your reading glasses and brightness when reading books, ESPECIALLY the option of white on black screen for night-time reading never realized how comfortable on the eyes this would make reading in a darkened area
6. Google maps...just incredible with G3 service...Be prepared to say good-bye to your GPS if your IPad has G3.
Lost?...Touch the current location button at the top of your Google map App, and you get a satellite map of where you are, with your exact location marked with a red pin.
Want directions from point A to point B...just type in your destinations.
Want a restaurant, library, hospital etc. in the area your in, just type your request in the search window and youll find your inquiries marked with red pins on your map.
And it gets better...say you asked for restaurants in an area, touching any individual red pin you got in the reply to your search gives you the name, address, phone No. and if available e-mail address plus directions to get there from your current location. AND it allows you to save this information if you want in your list of contacts, with a simple touch of the screen.
7. Audio...although the built-in speaker is mono, the headphone jack gives exceptional quality stereo sound.
8. About 10 hours of battery time on a full charge.
9. The ability to expand the size of anything your reading by simply spreading apart two fingers while touching the screen.
Whats missing:
1. no USB Port...maybe not as important as Id initially thought, what with bluetooth available...may mean some additional purchase for such things as a wireless mouse, keyboard, printer etc.
2. no multitasking...The one MAJOR shortcoming of the IPad...you can open a split screen to work on, and as everyone who has used a computer is aware, this is a very useful, time-saving feature. But you know, with all that this unit offers in the way of quality and convenience, I can live with this one deficiency.
Conclusion:
More useful...more an indispensable part of my life than Id ever have believed possible.
The large screen along with its thin profile makes it the ideal traveling idevice.
Because of no multitasking...4 3/4 Stars.
Ray Nicholson
P.S.
1. I purchased the 64 Gb edition of Ipad because I figured that Apps would fill it quickly...well this may eventually happen, but with nearly 3 screens of Apps, so far Ive used less than 2 Gb of space
2. This product may be lower priced at other locales :2012-01-23 18:06:08
iPad is my first Apple product and I love it
The first time I saw the iPad was when it was announced with much fanfare and I was instantly smitten. Ive never been an Apple person and have stayed away from their products like crazy, but this thing really stuck in my mind. Once it was released I went to the Apple store and played with it, like so many other people, and I walked away still liking it. I figured I would play with it and walk away thinking that it wasn worth the money or didn work the way I wanted it to. I was wrong. I found myself looking up reviews just about everyday seeing what other people thought about it and finally happened to be in a store when they had some in stock and I took the plunge. Was I nervous? Yes. Was I afraid that it would just be a toy and that was it? Yes. Was I scared about the price? Yes. However, I typically feel that way before any large electronics purchase.
What I have found in the month Ive owned my iPad is that I carry it with me all over the house. If Im reading something on the internet and need to go in the other room....I take my iPad. A lot of people have been bashing the iPad without every really using one and I can honestly say that it has changed how I consume entertainment. Its not a replacement for a laptop or netbook, though it certainly could replace a lot of things that you use them for, but it is its own hing. When it really clicked for me was about a week ago. It was a lazy Saturday afternoon and I was home by myself. I was using the Netflix app to catch up on a show that I had missed a few episodes of and I started out watching it on the couch. Soon I carried my iPad into the kitchen with me to make lunch. Then went outside and sat on the deck. I even took it into the bathroom with me....never having to stop watching the show. The iPad haters out there would say that they could do the same thing with their laptop, but the iPad battery is so great that it gave me true freedom to move about the house without worrying about wires, batteries or anything else. This is the true value of the iPad to me. I can consume entertainment/information anywhere in the house instead of having to stay in one place. Before I would either go to the office or sit on the couch to browse the internet with the laptop. That way I had a power cord nearby. With a 10 hour battery, I don worry about that anymore.
Now, will it replace my need for a laptop? No. There are things I still need to do that will require more storage or programs that cannot be done on the iPad. However, Im okay with that. If you are someone that spends a lot of time on your computer looking up things on the internet or watching movies or just wasting time. You will be amazed at the freedom you feel with the iPad :2012-01-23 18:05:39
I love it you may not...
The iPad aka Giant Ipod Touch was known the be the iPhones prototype prior to the iPhones release. I dont feel like searching this truth so believe it or not.
I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and have been using my iPad since i purchased it 3 months ago. I am 2 months into deployment and all the while I was flying to arrive here I have been using it on a daily basis. Continue 8 hour movie watching music listening and game playing. While there are modification options (ie. Jailbreaking) it will do the simple and basic tasks of execution but ONLY to your liking and with the dependency of other software to achieve such goals.
I was unable and still am unable to update my OS to 4.X because of internet related issues overseas. However with what I have now I can only say I am satisfied. My screen has been scratched with the dust development in Shindand; I have used it in 105 DEG. F. while here and no issues! This is an outstanding piece of hardware to own se :2010-09-18 17:03:58
The Future of Mobile Computers
I won a 64G 3G iPad from Rush Limbaugh several weeks ago and since receiving it I have been absolutely satisfied with handy devise. I now have a reason to put digital copies of movies on an Apple product surfing the internet while mobile much easier its easier to carry around than a laptop... The list goes on and on.
My only complaints so far has been the need for Leopard software on your Mac computers. I only have Tiger so I am forced to use my PCs iTunes. The other is the price. This thing is friggin expensive! Yes I got mine for free but I wouldnt have paid basically 900 dollars for this tablet.
All in all this things is awesome! I would advise waiting a year or two when they become more common place and cheaper. anyway I give it a 5 out of 5! :2010-09-18 17:03:58
Good but ... 
Im liking my iPad a lot more than I thought I would. Reading on it is a pleasure especially on a crowded train. The New York Times free app has enough stories to get me to and from work and the ebook reader is quite easy to use. There are a ton of free books out there mostly books in the public domain but thats fine with me since I like to read old literature. The music and game apps are numerous and very good. The web is extremely fast and the pad "just works".
On the downside the iPad doesnt come with a clock or alarm clock utility. You can buy apps written for this purpose but since theres no multitasking you cant depend on them to work. For example if you have a meeting scheduled and your alarm clock app set the meeting notice will pop up and prevent the alarm on the clock from ever going off.
Magazines look awesome on the iPad particularly Wired and Time. The downside is that you cant buy a subscription and have to pay a very inflated price. Hopefully thi :2010-09-18 17:03:58
Apple Ipad
I was introduced to the Apple Ipad by my sister.
I fell in love with it. I havent turn my desktop computer on for at least three weeks because everything that I used it for I can do on my Ipad. If your havent purchased one yet what are you waiting for? You will truly enjoy this. Oh and by the way it is very easy to setup and use. :2010-09-18 17:03:58
