I believe IPADS are incredible with the exception that they are not compatible with Flash. Many things utilize Flash. We have implemented them at our hospitals and run them with VM View. Word of warning though, they seem to be very sensitive to cold temperatures.

Here’s what I don’t like about apple, everything you want for it you can only get with apple. You can’t expand the memory on it so if you buy an 8 gig, that’s all you’re ever gonna have. If you go with a Samsung Galaxy or something similar you can expand the memory with SD cards and Android OS’s are way more customizable that Apple products. Not saying the apples are bad but you pay more for them and continue to pay if you wanna expand or customize them.
That’s my two cents.
December 21, 2011 at 1:06 am #1019752I have the 16 gb 3G nodel and its great. I was very skeptical at first since I’m an old Windows guy, been in IT since 85. But we use them to do just about everything a laptop will do and more.
Get a case with integrated Bluetooth Keyboard, just wish I could use a mouse on it!
I have this one

This is also nice
http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggfolio-ipad-2-keyboard-caseYes you are tied to Apple unless you jailbreak it but I have seen no need to do that. Tons of free apps and the pay ones are cheap. Things may loosen up now that Jobs is gone.
Must have apps
MapQuest: if they come out with an iPAd version
Navionics
ESPN Sportscenter
iHeart Radio
Cribbage Pro
Find iPhone/iPad
Snow Trails
SkypeI have hundreds of songs and a lot of pictures and videos on it and still have a lot of room left.
December 21, 2011 at 1:52 am #1019766It should be noted that only the ipads with 3g have a gps sensor, the regular wifi ones don’t and therefore I don[t think will work with “navigation” programs.
hndPosts: 1579December 21, 2011 at 2:14 am #1019780i have one and its convenient. but as someone mentioned as much as apple heads will tell you that flash is going the way of the dodo, they’ve been saying it for years and flash is still all over the internet and while we are slowly seeing a transistion, its going to take a while.
i frequent a ton of sites that still have flash material and they are virtually worthless on the ipad.
December 21, 2011 at 1:11 pm #1019849I have an iPad and love it. But it is not a replacement for a notebook or desktop computer.
December 21, 2011 at 1:20 pm #1019858I love it! Use it for web browsing and there are a ton of useful apps like the Weather Channel that I use daily. I am researching the Nook and the Kindle Fire for a second one for the family to use.
December 21, 2011 at 1:23 pm #1019861For music, books, email and surfing the web it is the greatest.
December 21, 2011 at 1:41 pm #1019871If anyone is looking for a NOOK Color you can buy Refurbished units for $129 on Ebay directly from Barnes & Noble or on Overstock.com Great price on a color reader.
