But Hi! I'm new .
I just ordered my first iPad 2 after being very happy with my iPod Touch 4 for a long while now. I'm excited for the big pretty screen to get here since I've coveted one for a while, almost stole my own mother's iPad 2, and finally acquired the means to get one myself and leave my poor mother alone, lol. I was too excited to wait for the 3rd gen since there is not even any hard news out about it yet, and tbh I can barely contain myself for the couple of days it'll take for the iPad 2 to get here as it is. I chose to upgrade because as much as I love my iPod, there's no way I'll ever get up to 10 hours unplugged usage out of it, and I like big screens, lol..

Why thank you! I'm checking out the tips and tricks right now. There's a lot of information to sift through, but already owning an apple device makes figuring things out very easy. Oh and I will be dl-ing the iPF app to my iPad as well.
