Kathy and I use our iPads daily. Great for TOTV browsing (such as right now), e-mails and some web usage. Aps are great; I'm sure I have just scratched the surface. But for serious spreadsheets, I access my HP laptop.

We'll have our iPads with us when we come to TV Sept. 1-8. Is there an ap that I could use on the golf course that would give me "live" instruction on how to hit better out of bunkers!

My wife has iPad 1 and uses it almost exclusively; I have an iPad2 and almost never breakout the laptop and seldom use the desktop iMac. When the new iPhone (version 5) is released soon I plan to upgrade from my Motrola Droid Pro. I have found the iPad2 to be WAY more useful than I imagined it would.

It's like any other tool, you decide which job(s) it does best and then you use it! Leave it in the box and I guarantee you will be an iPad hater.

I use my new iPad when surfing the internet at home or when I travel. It has the 4G option so also serves as a backup when cable service is down. Much easier to travel with than a laptop. Since we only have one PC at home, I can still surf the web while my wife is using the PC. I bought a ZAGG bluetooth keyboard/case to use when I have a lot of keyboarding to do. I can also use my Bose headset with it at home or when flying.

Got the new iPad for my birthday in July, so I'm still not using it as much as I could. I wanted it mostly so I can 'facetime' with my new granddaughter that lives in PA, (I am in NY). I did download a book from Amazon (Kindle) and I am enjoying that feature. But, the facetime feature is great, better than skype. Now I can see her, and she can see me whenever I want. She is 7 months old and really fun to watch now...

If CarGuys has already sold his iPad, I bought a gently used original (2010 model) iPad on Glyde: Simply buy and sell your games, iPads, iPhones and more about 5 months ago. I paid $225 plus about $12 in shipping. It was in brand new condition. Couldn't really afford to plunk down $500 for a new one.

My iPad has practically replaced the desktop, for all intents and purposes. Once a week, or so, I'll use the desktop - but for day to day stuff, it's the iPad.

The OS with iCloud makes it all possible.

MBP is short for a MacBook Pro. It is an Apple laptop. I'm typing on one now.

Other abbreviations include, MBA= MacBook Air which is another Apple laptop, thinner, smaller with a solid state drive instead of a hard drive.
