I love my iPad! As others have said it is very portable and great for surfing. It is fun to go to a coffee shop or out to breakfast and take the iPad. And read posts on TOTV! I do NOT like the touch keyboard one bit. So I bought an Acer laptop to keep my iPad company.
I just downloaded a Casey Anthony App on my iPad (only 99 cents). Apparently it is the most popular App right now. I'm planning to download some books from our library and use the iPad as a reader.
Don't sit in the sun with your iPad or you will get a message "Your iPad needs to cool down" and it will turn itself off. And you will lose anything you're working on.
