Morning all, I was given an iPad for Christmas as a complete surprise which had to be transported to London with a suitcase that kept falling over...if I knew the iPad was inside was would have been more careful!

I am a computer trainer in the afternoons, so I look forward to showing my customers this new machine. As I am a Microsoft Specialist was came across this forum when looking to see which Word application would work best and is free for the iPad.

My local shopping centre have completely run out of iPad flip cases....so I managed to grab a bargain on eBay.ie.
