Hello, i'm the proud new owner of an ipad 2 - english-born & speaking but living in France & therefore with a French setup & app store (which may confuse issues occasionally!!!!!) i know I could have uk setup but I prefer French as most of my thinking is in French!!!

I'm thrilled with my new toy, just slightly frustrated by lack of Flash Player for certain sites & not being able to get certain apps as they're not available in the French 'store' - neither of these were problems that I had with my Archos (android) so Am surprised that a vastly superior product has these shortcomings. Having said that I wouldn't change back, so mustn't complain !!!!
