Just a quick hello from a UK iPad 2 owner.

An iPad was something I always thought about but, having 3 step-children, I could never justify spending that amount of money on myself. But when a very good friend bought me an iPad 2 as part of a business deal, I'm hooked.

I've always been a windows/Microsoft/pc bod, never even had an iPod, but after having this iPad 2 a couple of weeks, I'm more impressed than I ever think I could be. The functionality but basic controls is so spot on.

I joined the forum to see what apps are worth getting and also what's possible to achieve with this modern masterpiece!

Thanks for reading

Regards

Cheers for the welcome guys

Yeah, I downloaded the user guide straight away and got some hints and tips.

Just a couple of things that I don't particularly understand is that I always thought digital downloads were the way forward but when I go to download ebooks etc, I find them often more expensive than a paper copy. Can't get how you can have a book that's been printed, posted to your door cheaper than simply downloading a digital copy.

Same as music. I looked at a new CD the other day thinking it would be great to download my first ever 'official' album to find I can order the cd and have it delivered to my door for less than the price of the digital download.

I don't want to start a debate, it's probably cropped up time and time again for you here

So far so good though. Love it. Just wished I could have got the 32GB and not the 16GB. I'll just have to be cute with juggling my storage
