Absolutely, I agree to Donald. The ipad has this benefit over all gadget. It is small and easy to carry. You can use it anywhere. But, I feel it is completely depends on individual thinking. Some feel laptop is good and some feel ipad is good. It is upto people requirement and choice.

I upgraded from the Kindle Fire to an iPad 2 and I'm loving it so far. I use it mostly as an ereader but love evernote, the browser, and tapatalk a lot too. I'll probably end up using it for school when I go back in the fall too.

Second to that, on plane flights as a movie platform it will be nice as the screen size is great and the battery life will beat even my 17" Macbook Pro.

All in all, there are a few neat uses for it but mainly those 3 for me.

What about you?

video playere,music,pic,games,funny and useful apps as well as web and the most important would be for entertainment on the way to work

Work & Play. My 3rd Apple product after an iPod & Ipod nano. I have loaded some eBooks on my iPad along with itunes library. I can use to access webmail for work as well. Although, after perusing the app store, I have run into my 1st issue with the iswifter application. It keeps asking me to pay for it.

I use this one what I used the ipad one for. Mostly videos, watching netflixs, and web browsing. Now I will be playing games too which I barely ever did before.

My god this is an old thread lol

Sent from my iPad 3

It is, isn't it. Still a great thread though. There is so much more we can do on our iPads now than we could when this thread began.

The ipad is all about the classroom and also all about both everyday and special activities. Apart from the fact, that the ipad is wonderful for search of information, you can use it in many different creative ways, letting the pupils write and publish their own books, letting them draw an paint, and publish their paintings, letting them make music and publish it, letting them make videos and animations about every topics wanted.

The ipad is going to reform the school, it is so much about democracy in getting and sharing informations, creating new information and new art. The modern children and young ones is so different from what we know about children and kids from many earlier generations. They want to be creative they want to express themselves, and for that purpose, the iPad is totally right. The School system has to adapt to this.

Some fine apps among others for creative purposes: Garageband, PhotoStudio, Sketch Club, Pages, Keynote, Story Patch, Book Creator, Albums fx, iMovie, Strip Design, AimationDesk, iAnimate Collage and Smoovie. I consider the named apps to be best of many apps I know about for simple but powerful music making, photo editing, drawing and painting, writing and illustrating books, film making and animating. If you then add some utility apps like, PhotoSync, Image Pro, Precise Eraser with Alpha, Recorder Pro, Calculator XL, iTranslate, you can go very far.
