Thread: G'day!

Hello to all!
A bit of background on how I ended up here - After much umming and ahhing about what device to buy I have finally decided - an iPad! A 2nd hand (perfect condition) 1st gen 16gb wifi to be exact. I was in the market for a portable something that I could use for note-taking for college, entertainment, gaming etc. I didn't want to buy a laptop as I already own a PC and don't really have the need for another computer. A netbook nearly would have sufficed, but when I thought about it, they're too slow when it comes to PC programs more than net surfing and simple word processing. But a tablet's apps are specifically designed for its OS and run a heap faster. Not to mention I was completely sucked in by all jailbreakin has to offer.
Anyway, I bought the iPad plus ZaggShields, dual car charger and ZaggMate w/keyboard for under $430 which I thought wasn't so bad. It should arrive in a week I'd say (US to Aus). This iPad should hopefully give me a good indication of whether I want to upgrade to the iPad 2 in another 6-8 months and whether 16gb is enough and if I feel the need for 3G as well.
Enough rambling from me, glad to be here though!

Good to hear from you. You’ll find a whole bunch of iPad enthusiasts in this Forum who are only too willing to help other iPad owners and to hear of their experiences. Don’t be afraid to post any questions you may have or use the ‘Search’ button near the top of the Forum web page. I usually find I discover one new interesting and useful piece of information about my iPad every day - and often not even what I was looking for!!

Hope to hear from you soon with your thoughts about the iPad.

Have fun and enjoy your iPad
