I was one of those people who said "who needs an Ipad? why not just get a laptop... it does more!". Then I got one about a month ago and I can honestly say I jut pure ignorant!
Firstly though... if you buy an iPad expecting it to replace your laptop, you will be disapointed. Lets get a few things out the way here.
1) An iPad isn't and never was designed to replace either a PC or a laptop. Its a tablet device which compliments either a PC, Mac or a laptop.
2) An iPad has one massive disadvantag to a laptop, and that is the ease of transferring data. It has no DVD drive or USB slot!
Now if we look at what the iPad is and does offer... its an amazing piece of technology which can massive potential for use and funcationality.
The main things I use mine for are...
1) Word processing and spreadsheet creation.
2) Painting and drawing.
3) Internet browsing.
4) Music, videos and podcasts.
5) Gaming.
6) Reading.
7) Emails.
You can't judge an iPad or any technology unless you know what functonality and you see how well it does those. All the above are what I required or found I could do, and now use my iPad for such. The iPad fits my needs and requirements.
In essence, the iPad is a bigger, massive version of an iPhone, but so what? It works!
Word processing and spreadsheet creation works a charm. Typing couldnt be easier, and with a wide range of word processing "apps" to buy and use, you have ample choice. There are even "apps" which read and create MS documents too.
Internet Browsing, despite the lack of flash, is spot on. Most websites now are moving away from flash or offer a free "app" to download and use. Read more ›

I'm sure the vast majority of those buying an iPad 2 will be very pleased with it. For the most part it lives up to the hype and is a very seductive piece of kit. After downloading iTunes onto the computer and registering, setting up the iPad is a doddle as it's simply a case of connecting it to the computer and the automatic 'synching' process does the rest.
Connecting to the internet via Wi-Fi with my 'N' router was as easy as entering the password and I have to say the response time of the Safari web browser was very impressive, with pages loading very quickly making web browsing a joy. The screen is a gem being bold and bright and large enough to be regarded as a serious web browsing monitor. The only slight criticism, which is often referred to, is how quickly the screen becomes covered in fingerprints. But I hasten to add the need to clean it only becomes apparent after you've turned the thing off and isn't a problem during use.
Of course, Apps are a huge attraction and there's a lot of fun to be had from browsing the App Store and downloading from the huge amount available, many of which are free and even the paid ones don't exactly break the bank. And apps can be downloaded directly onto the iPad, there's no need to sync them from the computer to the device.
If, like me, you enjoy keeping up with the news and catching up with missed TV programmes then apps like BBC iPlayer, Sky news for iPad, and the (currently free) Channel 4oD are obvious choices and are very impressive on the iPad. A YouTube app also comes as standard and there have been comments about losing Wi-Fi connection whilst using it which I did experience a few times. This may need to be fixed in a future update but it reconnected quickly and wasn't a big problem. Read more ›

To be honest I wasn't really in the market for a tablet. But after I found I was using my smart phone in which to check my mail, check the news and finding myself getting somewhat frustrated at the small screen size I decided; "What the heck" and did a trawl for the best tablet for me. Initially the I-Pad was out of the running simply because of the price. But after looking around at the competition it soon became very clear, that actually the I-Pad was the only worthy contender: Dual Core Chip, fantastic build quality, capacitive touch screen and best of all it is so intuitive in use.
I ordered off of Apple (Got the free engraving) and through their website was able to check its progress: China, Middle East,Germany,England. The I-Pad arrives fully charged, however if like me and this is your first Apple product you need to download I-Tunes in which to register the product. (No other-way to get it working)
Well, to turn it on, you depress the wee button on the top of the Pad, It's up and running within seconds and I mean seconds. To access your mail touch the mail app (Ok,you do have to enter your e-mail details first) and again within seconds you are checking your e-mail. Check the internet, touch the Safari app (Safari is the Apple version of Window Explorer/Firefox/Opera etc) very smooth again within seconds I'm surfing the net.
The battery lasts around 10 hours and takes up to a couple to recharge.
Now I suppose the main selling point for a lot of people will be the applications (Apps) that are available. I simply bought a couple of pre-paid vouchers in town and entered them into my I-tunes account. Its as easy as that and you don't have to enter any bank details anywhere. Read more ›

No Adobe flash with the IPad can be annoying
The absence of Adobe means I cannot retire the windows system yet. It is not Adobe but the producers of products and the cable company offering only those products. Read more
